Attorney General the Judge.

The discretion of the Attorney cen
eral or his assistants is the only
guide in determining what rate or
profit shall be deemed worthy OF the
attention of a federal grand jury. NO
such case has yet come up in the
District Of Columbia, but officials or
the department Will show no hesi-
fancy to act if they find an instance
that appears to them as a willful vio-
lation Of the act. The testimony OF
one or more customers or a sales slip
would be sufficient evidence OF the
retail price. and the wholesale figure
would be almost as easy to learn.
Members of the committee or other
dealers would be competent witnesses
as to what constituted fair and rea-
sonable profit. and if the questions OF
fact were established the question OF
law would be clear either to grand
Jury or a trial jury.

the Department of Justice, to make
the fair price committee the watch
dog of the consumers purse. Every
branch of trade affected has repre-
sentative on the committee qualified

price conditions respecting his par
ticular line, but the consumers inter-
ests are we'll guarded. and any case
that appears to merit the attention OF

the local district attorney on short
notice.
Under the original act profiteering
and specializing were declared to be
unlawful" but no penalty was pro-
vided for those who disregarded the
law. All manufacturers and whole
salers and all retailers doing bust
ness of 100000 a year or more were
compelled to take out license to do
business, but the small retailer could
be reached only by ordering the
wholesaler not to sell him any goods

profiteer into the courts, either civil

asked for an act with teeth in it."

MOVIES WILL SHOW SAL
VAGED MEN TRAINING

How man blind in both eyes
and minus both hands was trained
to become an expert drug sales
man, was but one of the feats per-
formed under the direction of the
Federal Board for Vocational
Education to be shown in the
moving pictures shortly.
Henry Ford is going to make a
film OF the work of the Board.
His camera men will be sent into
the training school to take pic
lures of the men in training. The
pictures will show men in the re-
ceiving stations, on the farms, in
the factories, schools and colleges.
The film will be complete in
about six weeks. 1t will be shown
in every town in the United
States where there is a picture
house. 1t is estimated that the
picture will reach sixteen million
people each week.
Parents OF boys who gazed on
what they believed to be hope
less wrecks when those boys re-
turned home after whipping the
Hun have great surprise i'll
store for them. When the Ford
educational films begin to show
how these supposed same wrecks
are being resurrected and restor-
ed to usefulness, then and then
only will the true work of the
Federal board be understood.
The film will be completed and
distributed among the many
picture houses during the holt
days. Friends and relatives of the
boys will be able to see young
men they know in actual training.

PRINTERS QUIT, SO
PARIS PRESS GETS
OUT l NEWSPAPER

PARIS, Nov. 19-The principal
morning newspapers joined forces and
produced an edition this morning un-
der the title "Presse de Paris" This
was necessitated by the strike of limo
typers and typographers called last
night. The following note is promi-
nently printed on the front page:
Notwithstanding a contract bind
ing them until June /, 1920, the Paris
printers union suddenly declared a
strike last night. This action is all
the more regrettable as it occurs the
very day on which we celebrate the
anniversary of victory and on the eve
of parliamentary elections.
"In sentiment of union, the news
papers of the capital have agreed to
publish during the strike a single
newspaper"
Five million copies had been distri-
buted by 10 a. m. and it was expected
that by noon 100000 would be deliv-
cred. This is a new circulation rec
ord. The Petit Parisien presses were
used.
The absence of newspapers this
morning caused rumors of clashes at
a political meeting last night, in
which blood was shed. Police head
quarters refused either to confirm or
deny the report.
