Administration's new plan to reach trusts
Washington January 20 There is belief that anti trust legislation will be pushed by amending the pending Department of Commerce bill to require extensive reports from interstate and foreign trade corporations. The House added a Bureau of Corporations to gather and publish data, aiming to bring trusts under new department jurisdiction. If the Senate accepts the amendment, the bill could go to conference and then to approval, reshaping federal control of corporations.
