Other* Concern Injunction* and Damage Sxiltn?Penalties for In dtvftdaeio a Fcsuore, Washington, Jan. t.?A general outline of tha tentative draft of anti? trust legislation prepared by major? ity members of the house committee ... ? '~ry for action by the full committee, gubjeet to a conference with I'resident Wilson, became known toniglkt While members of the oommlttoi? talked with the pres? to ent some weeks ago. the proposed bills so far have not the adminis? tration stamp, and thoy will be dis? cussed at a conference betwen the president and the committee men im? mediately following the president's return. The bills drafted, after conferences between Chairman Clayton. Repre? sentative Carlln of Virginia, chair? men of the trust subcommittee, and Representatives Floyd of Arkansas, McCoy of New Jersey end othera cover these three main points: 1. Interlocking directorate* I. Trade relations and prices. 9. Injunction proceedings and damage suits by individuals. Is every case President Wilson's idea of providing penalties for in? dividuals as well as for corporations lo case of violations has been fol? lowed. It was decided it would be bettor to draft several bill* instead of Incorporating all antitrust pro? posals In an omnibus measure sup? plementary to the Sherman act. An attempt to define combinations and conspiracies in restraint of trade, as far as possible, has been made In the bills already prepared. The bill to Inhibit interlocking directorate* is regarded as the most I Important of the three. It applies to banks and trust companies and to every Industrial corporation engaged In Interstate trade. The tentative draft of thn measure provides that: "After the 23rd day of December., I 1914, an officer or director of a fed? eral reserve bank, a branch bank, na? tional bank or banking association, or any State hank, banking association or trust company admitted to mem? bership In a federal reserve bank shall not be an officer or director of any other bank, banking association or trust company, or of any financial corporation, institution or association engaged in the business of banking. Nor shall he engage in the banking business Individually or as a member of a firm or association engaged in such business: nor shatl he be an of? ficer or director of any other cor? poration, organisation or association the principal part of whose authorized or actual business it to buy, sell or hold the stocks and bonds, securities or evidences of indebtedness of eor I porations, organisations or associa? tions, or to finance the sale of such stocks, bondi, securities or evidences of indebtedness, or to negotiate loans to corporations, organisations or as? sociations; nor of any other corpora? tion, organisation or association own? ing stock or an interest in a corpora? tion, organization or association con-; ductin ?' principally such authorized or actual business. "A director of Class A o.' a federal , reserve bank may be an officer or a ' dlrectcr, or both an officer and a dl : rector of one member bank." The other two classes are prohibit-, I ed In the currency law from holding the other offices. This part of the measure was draft? ed by Representative McCoy and is understood to have the approval of , other judiciary members. The effect of the industrial corpora i tion feature of the interlocking di I rectorate bill, tho commltteemen say. would be of the most sweeping chnr | acter. cutting out the interlocking ar I rangements and enabling director? ships and control to pass to a large army of new men, instead of keeping the industrial control of various lines' of activity in the hands of a few. i Under its terms no officer or di? rector in ar ' industrial corporation j engaged in interstate trade would be1 permitted to be an officer or direc? tor in another industrial interstate; corporation in allied business. Manu- j facturers of railroad cars, locomo? tives, railroad rails and structural steel, or men engaged in mining or selling coal, would be barred from becoming directors or other officers or employes of railroads engaged in interstate commerce. The bill would not become effective until two years after passage, to allow adjustment of business arrangements. The other measure? would take ef? fect immediately upon passage. The bill to stop agreement upon regulation of prices has drastic pro- I visions. It is designed to stop the fix? ing by wholesalers of prices at which tho manufactured article shall be | sold to the puL.ic and to prevent "big business" from entering into contracts to control prices of any commodity. The measure on injunctions and damage suits will givo individuals as well as the government the right to start injunction proceedings for any attempt at injury. In civil proceed? ings begun by the federal government under the Sherman law. in which a judgment or final or interlocutory de | cree has been entered, holding the defendants guilty o:' conduct prohibit* i *d by the act. it would permit in? dividuals claiming to be injured by [ such conduct to be admitted as a party to the suit, with the same re i ' lief as if they had brought an inde l pendent suit. ThiH would give the individual the benellt of the results ol I a proceeding by the government. Members of the Judiciary commit ' tee believe the measures will I strengthen the Sherman law without [ injustice to the rights of business. WOULD HANG VILLI.
