ANK|OUSLY AWAIT
TOBACCO DECISION
Action in Steel Trust Case
Held Up Supreme Bench
Sitting Today.

More depends upon the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States
in the tobacco case, which was eX-
pected today. than is generally known.
1t was learned today at the Department
of Justice that Instructions have been
issued to the officials to wait until the
tobacco case decision has been handed
down before the institution Of any pro-
ceedings. either criminal or civil. in the
prosecution of the Steel trust.
1t was also stated that President Taft
recently called Solicitor General Leh-
man into conference at the White
House, and placed the handling of the
contemplated prosecution of the
United States Steel Corporation in his
hands solely.
An Indication that the court would
sit late today in order to deliver
opinions was furnished at noon, when
Chief Justice White announced that
he would first grant a hearing of
motions. He explained that this was
to permit attorneys who came merely
10 make motions, to get through and
be excused early.
The court room was crowded to the
limit when the court convened
score or more of Senators and Rep
resentatives sitting in the space re-
served for attorneys.

HEADACHE POWDER
MAKERS WIN RIGHT
TO MISLABEL DRUG
District Court Rules Govern
ment Cannot Require
Specific Wording.

Manufacturers of headache remedies
today won a sweeping victory over
the Government in administration OF
the pure food and drugs act of 1906
by decision of the District Court of
Appeals dismissing the Governments
suit alleging mislabelling of ANTI
kamnia," a headache powder manu-
featured by the Antikamnia Chemical
Company of st. Louis.
Congress reserved to ITSELF" Chief
Justice Shepard says, the statement of
the contents of the labels, and did not
require that when q drug is a deriva-
tive, merely, the name of the drug from
whence derived should also be recited. -
DR.. Wiley and other officials of the
Department of Agriculture. contend
that they have the authority to make
regulations prescribing details of label
ingC and what labels shall contain, but
this is denied in the Antikamnia case
1t is said the decision will now per-
NIT manufacturers of drugs to use de-
rivatives of morphine, cocaine, opium,
and other dangerous drugs without
specifically naming the parent sub
stances. The departments regulation
prohibiting such use without labelling is
held unconstitutional.
Limitation of the authority of the
Department Of Agriculture to prescribe
rules and regulations governing labelling
og poisons is regarded as greatly re-
strictive in its administration of the
pure food and drugs act.
The act does not even restrict the
entire use of any poison-making 1t
entirely of poison-if it is SO labeled"
was stated tody by Assistant United
States District Attorney Peelle.
