Reed ^ FOR •^f£: VwV>:" /-U •./• 3/4--TOM IV4-TON n n o n FULL UHE -Trust Busting' ^ / j Indication that anti-trust legislation will be brought to the fore at the next regular session of Congress beginning, in January became evident when S. ^8772, the new Borah-O'Mahoney fedl Serai licensing bill was introduced. The %ill takes direct aim at monopolies. | One section expands the Federal Trade t Commission from five to nine commis- I sioners and provides that ont of the ' additional commissioners shall represent the interest of employees; that pne represent the interest of employiers; one the interest of the consuming public. The bill further directs the Commission to make recommendations to Congress for the stabilization of basic industries and to recomend to Congress minimum wage legislation when it finds that abuses in the form iof low wages exist. Another section [ provides the issuance of licenses to corporations requiring the licensee to file with the Commission statement of , corporate organization, financial status and an agreement to abide by all the Acts of Congress with power given to the Commission to deny a license to a corporation violating the anti-trust laws. Another section authorizes the r revocation of licenses, but provides for - a court review of same. Another sec- * tion authorizes the Commission to carry on investigations. Somebody evidentally feels that there have notbeen enough investigations, to date, j Log Rolling and Back Scratching i Administration leaders in the House are having a difficult time keeping harmony in the ranks of the majority party. Their latest worry is the formation of a bloc of eastern and middle t western Democrats who are interestedj ! public use and to Issue 'a label for such drug before it could be introduced into interstate commerce. Those Income Taxes The'tax Subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee has begun consideration of proposals to subject some two and one-half million state, county and city employees to a federal income tax. It is very doubtful wheth' er any such action will be taken. While it is estimated that the federal government would probably realize about 15 million dollars in revenue- • each year by such taxation, it has been pointed out that if any such law was enacted, about a million federal employees would probably be subject to state income taxes. The general consensus of opinion seems to be that a constitutional amendment would be necessary before a valid tax on stated county and city employees could be levied. " ; To 1 d?
