WASHINGTON. Feb 7. The Sen
ate judicial committee announced to
day that it had decided to hold public
meetings to consider protests against
thp president's appointment of l.ouis
I). Brandeis to succeed the late Justice
l.amar on the supreme court bench.
Many kicks have been registered
against the confirmation of Brandeis,
and the nature of them has been such
that the committee feels that, they
should be thoroughly considered, and
the friends of Mr. Brandeis given an
j opportunity to confute them, before
decisive action be taken on the ap
pointment. The chairman of the
committee said that it would first con
sider Mr. Brandeis' connection with
the United Shoe Machinery Company,
which lias previously been prosecuted
in the federal courts as being an ille
gal monopoly under the terms of the
|Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
