REPEALS ANTI-TRUST LAW

Wickersham Says Provision in Sundry Civil Bill Strikes at Main Object of Sherman Act. Washington, June 18.—The house has so amended the sundry civil appropriation bill as virtually to repeal the Sherman anti trust law, in the opinion of Attorney General Wickersham. if the provision is finally enacted into law. The amendment, it is said, would legislate Jacob M. Dickinson, former secretary of war, out of the employ of the government, as its chief counsel in the steel trust suit and others. The provision would forbid the attorney general from using the sundry civil appropriations for the palyment of salary or allowance to any person holding another position under the government or who had been in the federal employ during the preceding two years.
