counsel today vigorously attacked the
motion Of the defense in the packers
trial to have the case taken from the

charged. They argued that the gov

criminal violation of the Sherman
antitrust law.

Secretary Of War Urges Legislation

az AssoeIated Prsss.

washington, March 11.-Secretary
Gtimson today urged the house COM
nnittee on military affairs to recon-
mend legislation to increase the ef-
f1ciency of the national guard and ad-
vised the enactment of any law which
would add to the interest in the ma
tional guard.
He declared in the event of war this
country would have to rely in the long
run on the militia, and 1t would be a
short sighted policy to do nothing to
encourage the organization of a capa-
BILE body Of reserve troops.
The criticism of the present militia
was that 1t lacked discipline and or
ganization and that the men had an
insufficient knowledge of tactics. The
state organizations, he said. are not up
to the standards which should be
sought by the federal government
