and the department purposes taking
vigorous measures to bring the parties
concerned therein to speedy punish
ment. Some thirty manufacturers in

participation in these fraudulent

before a grand jury of the United
States Circuit Court from the Western
District of North Carolina, with n
the past Jews days, through the offorta
of the revenue agents, Brooks and
Wagner. Major Wagner has charge of
the district in which these frauds were
perpetrated. AS means of lettering
the revenue agents from the perform
ance of their dptiee, o number of
suits have been brought against them
for alleged technical violations of the

its intention to fully sustain the
agents in their prosecution of these
