ATTORNEY GENERAL WICKER.
SHAM WILL GO AFTER
LAW vlOLATORS.

Washington.-The recent decision
of the Supreme Court in the Standard
Oil and American Tobacco cases will
result in a sweeping attempt to sc,
cure criminal conviction of violators
of the antitrust law, according TO At
torney General Wickersham. WHO ap-
| peared before the house committee on
expenditures in the department Of JUS
tice.
Mr.. Wickersham was asked why the
government thus far had faiied to
lodge any trust magnates" in prison.
1--WE have done the best we could -
he said, but there has been an un-
willingness on the part of the turies
and courts to sentence men to prison
under the antitrust law. Until the
Supreme Court laid down it's definite
construction in the two cases Just de-
cided, their reluctance was we'll un-
derstood, for the law has always been
open to question and has been con-
strued in different ways by different
courts. Juries are becoming more
willing now to convict and judges who
have been reluctant to impose prison
penalties now have the Supreme
Court decisions to sustain them"
Mr.. Wickersham said he believed
prison sentences would be the most
effective means of enforcing respect
for the antitrust laws. Criminal
prosecutions against the meat pack
ers. milk dealers, grocers. the naval
stores and window glass combination
and alleged violators Of the antitrust
law, he said, would be augmented by
other prosecutions On this subject
the government had definite plans.
Chairman Beall asked why there had
been no criminal proceedings against
the heads of the Standard Oil and to.
bacco corporations.
'Tn view of the fact that we have
secured decisions in these cases only
within the last two weeks, it seems
to me that question answers ITSELF"
said Mr.. Wickersham. Now, how
ever. we have an Interpretation Of the
antitrust law on which we can pro-
ceed."
The attorney general was closely
questioned by Mr. Beall as to the cot
ton cases in New York, but he refused
to disclose the governments future
action.
