Washington, Nov. 13.?Amendment of the Sherman anti-trust law at the coming session of congress is to be undertaken in earnest by Democrats of the house, according to a declara? tion today by Representative Uenrv of Texas, ranking member of the committee on judiciary. In addition to anti-trust legislation the judiciary committee also has de? cided upon revision of the injunc? tion statutes and the laws regulating to indirect contempt cases. Efforts of the committee will be di? rected Chiefly toward elimination from the statute of the "rule of reason" as interpreted by the supreme court. A law providing trial by jury in cases of indirect contempt of court and modification of the Injunction re? strictions are regarded by the Demo? cratic leaders as essential to fulfill? ment of the party pledges as ex? pressed In the platform of the Den? ver convention.
