 MT. Danaher asked Haggerty why it was that he did not appear at the hearings of strikers arrested, to give evidence, or tell the Meriden chief of police what he knew of the trouble. The witness said he was not asked to.
 Mr. Wells next called in succession a number of employees of the com pany who alleged that from time to time had been subjected to threats from pickets or strikers, or who claimed to have been assaulted.
 Wells Calls Striker.
 At the afternoon session. which was in the supreme court room, MT. Wells continued to call witnesses to testify to having been threatened or called names. He also had as a wit ness a striker who was convicted in the Meriden court of calling a work man a "scab.'' The record of con- viction, as we'll as records of other convictions during the strike were placed in evidence. During the af- ternoon MT. Wells stated that he had about fifty witnesses under subpoena, and MT Danaher said that he could call three thousand for his side if necessary.
 It was thought probable the hear ing would continue throughout to- morrow

States. The government should have the right to dictate that we should do our travelling in the ships of neu- tral nations and should be enabled to withhold passports from those who should sail on ships owned by bellig- erents.
 Pride, I think, should take counsel of prudence. But while the right to sail when and under the flag one chooses exists, such a right must not go undefended; but I think we can af- ford to modify these rights when they involve hazards so tremendous

 The Earl points out also that many must be deducted as the sole support of dependent relatives. He says there are 651 ,160 unstarred single men un- accounted for.
 Present System Failed.
 "This is far from being a negligible quantity" the report continues, 'and under the circumstances I am very, distinctly of the opinion that in order to redeem the pledge it will not be possible to hold married men to their attesta ton unless and until the ser vices of single men have been ob- tained by other means, the present system having failed to bring them to the colOrs."
 The Earl protests against the issue of lists of reserved occupations. He says that, while not presuming to state what industries are indispensable to the country, there must be finality to them, or the number of men eligible for service will be reduced further.

ins some quarters in relation to the
Sherman; Act Is due to the fact that.
in the minds of many It has come to
be thought of; as a statute apart from
the general body OF 1aws-=one by ma
ture unlike other laws, especially as
regards the function and duty Of those
charged with its enforcement. This,
he pointed out, IDS not the case at all.
On the contrary,Sthe Sherman Act is
enforced by the Department Of jus
tice in the same manner and accord
ing to the same rulesgot policy as 9th:
er statutes-witt> the same care and
with neither more nor less irfgoT. Plain
or Intentional violations are proceed
ed against vigorously as under 9TH
er statutes. When, as with all sta.
tutes, doubtful cases arise in which
there was no intent to violate the
law, they are dealt with Just as SINH
lar cases under other statutes are
dealt with. that is, with a view to
enforcing strict compliance with the
law, but without unnecessarily stig-
matizing or unnecessarily burdenfng
with litigation persons who have been
honestly mistaken as to the law and
who stand ready to rectify this mis-
take, 4
Another cause OF this misunder-
standing, said the Attorney General,
is the persistent misrepresentation to
which the Sherman Act has been sub
jected by propagandists who are OPP
posed to the competitive principle and
who seek ito undermine that princi.
