The language in the above clause, "All laws and parts of laws in conflict with the provisions of this Act are hereby repealed," expresses the extent to which it was intended to

repeal prior laws, and excludes the implication that sec. 2 of the Act was intended as an unqualified repeal of the whole of sec. 1 of the prior Act of Feb. 19, 1903. Great Northern R. Co. v. U. S., (1907) 155 Fed. 945, affirmed 208 U. S. 452.

L. 838, providing that the above Act should "take effect and be in force sixty days after its approval by the President of the United States," was powerless to postpone the operation of the Act, which, by its own terms, became effective on its approval by the President one day before his approval of

the joint resolution. U. S. v. Standard Oil Co., (1907) 148 Fed. 720.
