league, has been in consultation with the
attorney general and J.. N. Fiero, who
acted as special counsel in tbs enforce
ment of the antitrust law two years
ago, with regard to the enforcement Of
the Donnelly antitrust law. Mr.. Dove
was authorized to consult the attorney
general at a meeting of the Commercial
Travellers league held in this city some
two weeks ago. Attorney General Davies
stated that he was prepared to proceed
to enforce the provisions of the act upon
being placed in possession Of facts which
would warrant the belief that evidence
could be obtained sufficient 20 maintain
an action. He pointed out 10 Mr.. Dove
that by reason of the repeal OF the act
Of 1897, by the present act it was neces-
sary to show violations of the law since
the enactment of the present law in May
last, and that in view of the difficulties
in obtaining the examination of witnesses
under the previous act it was desirable
that he should be in possession of suffi-
cient facts to warrant a vigorous prose-
cution in case proceedings should be
commenced.
Mr.. Dove stated that much Of the in
formation in his hands was confidential,
having been given him by persons whose
names he was not at liberty to disclose.
but that he expected to be able to obtai
the consent of some or all of the persons
in possession of the facts, SO as to com
attorney general to warrant hin in tax
ing proceedings under the Donnelly bill
for the eXa animation of witnesses with a
view to commencing the action.
