W|CKERSHAM DISCUSSES
THE STEEL INTERVIEW
Says 1t Was Summary of Con-
versations He Did Not In
tend to Be Published.

BRETON WOODS. y. H., September
23.-Replying to many inquiries concerning
the authenticity of a reported interview
with its correspondent regarding the
United States Steel Corporation, published
in a New York newspaper this morning,
Attorney General Wickersham made the
following statement tonight:
THE purported interview is summary
of two conversations. which were neither
understood nor intended to be for publica
tiOn. Circumstances unnecessary to state
here led me to express myself much
more freely upon the subjects discussed
than l would have done for publication.
The report contains some Inaccuracies
For instance, L did not state that the
United States Steel Corporation was a
combination in violation of the law, nor
did l state that the men under indict-
ment in the beef trust cases in Chicago
would go to prison if l had my way.
There are also other inaccuracies In the
main. however, the reported interview
represents, with such corrections the
views expressed by me in the conversa-
tionS referred to.
Statement of President.
The President has stated that the
OupIcLuc SouIt IdS Qeclueu what the
law is and now business has got to
square itself with the law 1t is not
the intention of the Department Of JUS
tice to bring indiscriminate prosecu-
tiOns nor is it its intention to resort
to criminal proceedings, except where
the evidence at it's disposal indicates
willful and deliberate violation of law
and suppression of competitive condi-
tions by oppression and unfair or
otherwise illegal methods.
1t is hoped that monopolistic COM
binations which are in illegal restraint
of interstate trade and commerce will
voluntarily reorganize and establish
competitive conditions without await
Ing prosecution.
THE government would very much pre-
fer such voluntary action to the necessity
of legal prosecution. The Department of
Justice is prepared to give careful con-
sideration to plans for such reorganiza-
ton submitted in good faith, and if found
satisfactory. to submit them to the court
on appropriate petitions, to the end that
a proper decree be entered, making the
plan binding on the defendants and en-
Joining any renewed combination re-
straining trade between the newly sep
arated members of the combination.
(Signed)
GEORGE W. WICKERSHAM."

LONDON. September 23-Today's news
gathered from all parts of the old world
tells Of socialist uprisings. food riots,
general strikes, wars or preparations for
war in every important country in Eu-
rope. with the minor exceptions of Hol-
land. Sweden and Switzerland. A careful
analysis of the situation in each of the
countries which are now taking part in a
general movement of unrest such as Eu-
rope has not before experienced in the
present generation reveals the fact that
in every case socialstic agitation a
revolt against the fast increasing cost of
living is at the bottom of the disturbance
Everywhere there is evidence that work
ingmen are becoming convinced they are
not getting their fair share of the wealth
which they produce. and for the first time
they are applying the principle of a gem
eral strike. which has so long been
preached by socialist agitators.
Rising bank rates and declining gov
ernment securities show the seriousness
with which the situation is regarded in
financial quarters. British oonsols. which
have been gradually falling off for
months, established a new low record
French. German and other continental
government securities tell the same story.
The most critical condition at the pres
ent moment undoubtedly exists in Spain.
Despite the temporarily soothing reports
that are being sent out over censored
wires, there is every evidence that the
revolutionaries have strong hopes of over
throwing the monarchy. Although the
Spanish uprising has been fostered for
months by socialists and revolutionists
they would not have achieved their pres
ent success had it not been for the gen.
eral dissatisfaction due to the war upon
which the government has embarked in
Morocco

ATTACKING PURE FOOD Law.

Branding the present food and
drug act practically a dead letter,
SO far as protection from fraud is
concerned, the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association has this to
say:
"The federal Food and Drugs Act,
under the Interpretation recently
given it by the Supreme Court of the
United States, has become practical
1y dead letter so far as it affords
protection against the fraud and
cruelty connected with the exploita-
ton of patent medicines.' AS was
noted last week, the court has de-
cided that the national pure food law
does not prohibit false statements on
labels or medicines so long as such
statements are confined to curative
effects and not to composition. To
the average quack and patent medi-
cine vender, such an Interpretation
will prove priceless boon.
at should be borne in mind that
the Food and Drugs Act does not re-
quire the composition of any patent
medicine to be printed on the label;
it does not even require the presence
of any but very few of the most
powerful and dangerous drugs to be
made public
"A preparation may contain strych-
nine, prussic acid, arsenic or any
one or more of hundred equally
dangerous and violent poisons and
no mention need be made of the fact
on the label. The 'patent-medicine'
faker cares little about restrictions
regarding the composition of his nos
trum; all he asks is permission to
make any assertion that he sees fit
regarding the curative effect of his
preparation. The Supreme Courts
decision means that that permission
now exists under the federal Food
and Drugs Act.
"A weak solution of sugar or COM
mon table salt in water, or for that
matter bottle of plain water, may
now legally be labeled: r.

Act went into effect, had to discard

Our BflF for LUXuFieg.

Congressman y. Hampton Moore OF
Philadelphia has complied a state
ment regarding the cost Of some Of the
luxuries in which the American people
indulge.
$25,O0O,OO0 was spent last year on
chewing gum alone, and the nations
confectionery bill for 1910 was the
enormous sum or $78,00O,000. Soda
water was much more expensive, the
nlckles amounting to the respectable
sum of $500, 1000, 900. All OF that, how
ever, fades into insignificance when
compared with the jewelry-bill OF
$780,, 100000.
Mr.. Moore's purpose was to show
how Insignificant, comparatively is the
cost OF some greatly needed internal
improvements. For example, our can
dy-bill alone would pay for complete
chain of canals from Boston to Key
West Our soda-water bill would e.
tablish a complete inland waterway
system, and our jewelry-bill for
single year would build the Panama
Canal twice over.
