William Jennings Bryan, while at Toronta, Ont . on a lecture tour, said Wednesday regarding the Standard Oil decision: “This decision is likely to make the trust question more of an issue than it has b^en in recent years. While on the face of it the decision seems a victory for the gov ernment, it virtually amends th° anti trust law by construing It to prohibit, not all restraints of trade, but only such restraint a.-' the courts, after each lengthy litigation, nay decide to be unreasonable.''
