USE RULE OF REASON
IN ANTITRUST CASES
Policy Made Clear by Attorney
General Gregory in Talks
With Business Men.

In handling cases affecting corpora
tions arising under the recent addi-
tions to the antitrust law through
the Clayton act and the statute Great
ing the Federal Trade Commission
the Government will apply the "rule
OF reason"
This policy has been made clear by
Attorney General Gregory. in the
course OF conferences with the Fed
eral Trade committee OF the Cham
Der OF Commerce of the United States.
The Attorney General told the COM
mittee there was no intention on the
part of the Government to be harsh
in enforcing the new statutes and
that there would be no criminal pros
ecutions in cases where the laws were
violated innocently.
While a strict compliance with the
law will be required, the Attorney
General said persons who had been
honestly mistaken would not be un-
necessarily burdened with litigation
II they were ready to rectify their
mistakes. The Attorney General in
dicated that in cases where both the
Department Of Justice and the Federal
Trade Commission had jurisdiction
the commission will be permitted to
conclude it's inquiries before the De-
partment of Justice takes part in the
proceeding, n the commission is the
first to exercise Jurisdiction.

Storm of Protest.
The statement declares that the
Commissioners failed to sound out the
sentiment OF the citizens associations

From the vital statistics of the

loved State is seriously infected with
the Great White Plague which is
carrying death and desolation into
thousand of our homes. and other
wiae interfering with the happiness,
welfare and prosperity OF our State.
1t has also been reliably reported that
between five thousand and six thouS-
and of our people die annually from
consumption and that thirty thousand
others are afflicted, who will ultimate
ly die, unless they receive proper care
and attention
The medical profession has dis
covered that tuberculosis is caused by
a specific germ conveyed in the sput-
um of those afflicted, and is therefore
preventable, with proper care and
supervision.
With a view to the suppression Of
this wide spread Scourge, it has been
commended by the Kentucky Tuber
colosis Comission, as we'll as by the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, that
