Manner of Attack.
Chicago, Oct. 25.-Delegates to the
National Civic Federation convention
are eagerly discussing the remarks
made at the meeting by Charles G..
Dawes, ex-comptroller of the currency.
Mr.. Dawes made a sharp attack
upon the federal department Of jus
tice, virtually charging the Office OF
the attorney general with making
gallery plays" He said in part:
II can not say that it is INTENTIONAL
on the part of the department of jus
t1ce, but some of it's actions look re-
markably as if favoritism was being
displayed in the selection of the COIN
binations to be investigated and in the
manner of attack.
1T is inevitable that the man who
does things is in the public eye and
an attack upon him will always win
publicity. 1t is remarkable that the
cases handled by the department of
justice always are tried in the news
papers before they get into the
courts
The speaker also criticised the
magazine writer's, who he said, ma de
q practice Of attacking the men who
accomplished great things in the mer-
camille and financial world.
He then entered upon defense o'
the fnanciers of New York, asserting
that many Of the men who have borne
the lash during the last four years
are doing a work for the good of the
country the value Of which it is hard
to estimate.
'They are seelling," he said "to UP
hold the credit upon which prosperity
rests. They are seeking to save the
opportunity for the profitable contin-
uance Of men who handle merchan.
disc, of men in manufacturing enter
prises and in all other walks of life"
In conclusion Mr.. Dawes urged the
amendment Of the Sherman antitrust
law.
