tion against the public. That is something our people would not go into, and we have had to fight for six years to maintain our right to do business. An injunction suit is now pending in New York to bring to an end such a conspiracy in the carpenter industry. Mr. MONAGHAN. Is it not a fact that under the present bill such a conspiracy could not be enjoined? Mr. DREW. You could not enjoin it because the boycott and other measures employed by such a conspiracy would be legalized by this bill. Mr. DAVENPORT. Even if offered by the Government for the purpose of enforcing the Sherman antitrust law? The CHAIRMAN. If you wish to discuss the particular provisions of the bill, I would be glad to have you do so. Mr. DREW. I should be glad to do that, but others, I believe, intend to address the committee along those lines. I do wish, however, to indorse what Mr. Monaghan has so ably said as to the practical features of the measure. That is all I have to say, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. We will now adjourn until Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Thereupon, at 4.35 o'clock p. m., the hearing was adjourned until Monday, June 17, 1912, at 2 o'clock p. m.
