DICK MILITARY LAW
Small Standing Army, Supplemented
by Citizen Soidiery.

& San Francisco, Nov. 17-Unanimous
endorsement of the Dick military law,
certain provisions of which provide
for the regulation and reorganization
of the national guard, was given by
the American Federation of Labor. at
its S5th annual convention today. This
action was taken in considering the
report of the executive council on the
law, the question having been referred
to the committee on international re-
lations at the Philadelphia convention
The executive councils report on
the law was adopted in full. In part
it says:
Our American traditions are whole
somely positive against the mainten-
ance of a large standing army. We
think it can be safely and emphatically
stated that only a small percentage
of the American people favor the
maintenance of a large standing army
We express our belief in the need
of small standing army to be sup
plemented by citizen soldiery, DEM
ocratically organized and controlled,
so as to prevent either the small
standing army or the larger supple
nents and it's units to be used for or
by any special previleged class, either
at home or abroad"

INVESTIGATING REPORTS OF
DRUG FIRMS COMBINE
United Drug Company and the Riger-
Hegman Company.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE depart
ment of justice, through the United
States district attorney at Boston, has
begun an investigation of reports of
a combination between the United
Drug company and the Riker Hegman
Company, to determine whether there
has been a violation of the antitrust
law.
The Riker-Hegman company has
been under investigation for many
months, but the inquiry into the re-
cent reports of a combination be-
tween it and the United is a new
phase in the matter and no report on
it is expected for some time.
Prosecutions could not be carried
out successfully under the Sherman
act against a combination of drug or
other concerns doing retail business
within a city or cities wholly intra-
state in character. The attitude of the
department may turn on the question
of a restraint of trade in connection
with purchases in interstate commerce
by such a combination.

EFFORTS TO SECURE
INDICTMENT OF FAY
Under the Criminal Section of the
Sherman Antitrust Act.

Washington. Nov 17.-An effort may
be made soon by the department of
justice to secure indictments against
Robert Fay and others connected with
the alleged plot in New York to blow
up munition ships, under the criminal
section of the Sherman antitrust act.
1t is declared that information is now
being gathered to aid the department
in determining whether there has been
a conspiracy in restraint of foreign
commerce, such as to justify presenta-
ton to a federal grand jury.
The belief that indictments under
this statute might be successfully
prosecuted was said today to be based
on the Interpretation of the Sherman
law by the supreme court in the Dam
bury hatters' case.
