Wilson Favours Anti-Trust Bills For Congress
Workington Jan 23 The president's program in his recent message to Congress is embodied in administration anti trust bills now before Congress. The measures define unlawful monopoly and unfair trade practices, create an Interstate Trade Commission, regulate interlocking directorates, and ease injunctive relief while expanding penalties. The bills seek to fix violations at individuals and corporate officers, suspend certain statutes of limitations for injured parties, and allow court refer to the commission for guidance. President Wilson and Democratic leaders approve the proposals, with critics within progressive circles arguing for stronger provisions.
