All the Legion asks, he told the
committee, " is as liberal treatment as
is consistent with the welfare OF the
whole country"
"An Overwhelming majority OF ex-
service men feel strongly that TINS

eff legislation is wisely framed COW
ering land settlement, home aid, and
vocational training, every dollar IN
vested by the government will bring
intimately great returns to the coun-
try by making the ex-service man a
better citizen and greater producer.
More than fifty bills relating to
bonuses were before the committee
when it began hearings on the Whole

His wife quoted the following Scrip

honor with deep appreciation. I deem
lit highly important that the Demo-
Gratis of Georgia should have the op-
portunity to directly pass upon the

let the voters in the primary indicate

MAY
SUE AGAIN IN CASE
OF ILLEGAL PRACTICE


Washington, March 1.-The su-
preme court today upheld formation
of the United States Steel Corpora,
ton and subsidiary combinations in
the iron and steel industry.
Refusing to dissolve the so-called
"steel trust" the court dismissed the
federal governments Sherman law
suit for dissolution.
Affirming the New Jersey federal
courts dismissal Of the government
prosecution, the supreme court de-
clined to enjoin the restraint of trade
charged, and also denied an order to
break up the super-combination said
to be the worlds greatest industrial
organization, with assets exceeding
81, 1000, 100000.
In dismissing the federal suit, how
ever, the court ordered such dismis-
sal without prejudice" permitting
the government to sue again if the
corporation actually resorts to illeg-
al, wrongful or repressive practices.
Justice McKenna read the opinion
of the court. - .....
Justices Pitney, Clark and Day dis
sented. ~,
In rendering the decision Justice
McKenna said that since 1911 no act
in violation of law can be charged
against the steel corporation, and
that it was the opinion of the court
that the practices complained of by
the government had been abandoned.
Justice McKepna said that to grant
the governments request for disrup-
ton Of the corporation and restore
conditions in the industry as they
were twenty years ago would be i'm
practicable, It would disrupt bust
ness, the decision said, and would
not be in the public interest.
Justice McKenna said the tobacco
and Standard Oil company cases Of
fered no analogy, as they had been
guilty of certain Objectionable prac-
tices which the steel corporation had
not been. ,......
The opinion of the court declared
that the steel corporation had aban-
doned practices the government had
considered illegal. The case must be
decided on present conditions, the
court declared. The practices were
ended before the suit was brought,
Justice McKenna said.
No Repetition Feared
"Our conclusion is that certain
practices have been abandoned on the
convictions of the directors of the
corporation that they were futile" /"
the opinion said.
The government cannot plead the
fear of the resumption of these &C
tivities. Since 1911, when the suit
was brought, no illegal act can be
charged against it. 1t made no ef-
fort to fix prices but allowed them
to follow natural conditions. The
competition was competitive, genu-
inc, direct and vigorous. The gov
ernment must have something more
tangible to force dissolution"
The government presented no real
plan for dissolution, Justice McKen-
ma said.
"The government bases its plan
on twenty years ago." he said.
The American Tobacco and Stand
ard Oil cases were declared not to
be similar.

and best wishes" Mr.. Harding said
Permit NE, also, to say that thc
spirit of Republicanism was never more
pronounced than it is now. By every
token that comes to me I read a de-
termination resolved upon victory. I
can ascribc this feeling to the issues
before US and the conditions that CON
front the nation. Our people want to
return to constitutional government.
They want formal peace, that our az
fairs may be adjusted to tranquil
state from which they may measure
the future.
"But we want peace that is real
and not imaginary; peace based upon
fixed and determined basis, that main
tains and recognizes our own dearly
bought heritages. that came with our
independence; that independence VIC
propose maintaining under all circum-
stances and at all cost, and we shall
not be bcgujled into a surrender Of
our sovereign rights by any specious
scheme, however it may appeal to our
fancy, that does not contain a clear
definition of our authority over our
dcstinies and the lives of our youth.
Such policy invites the cordial sup
port of all, irregardless of previous
partly affiliations, and especially ap-
peals to the instructive patriotism of

vite Senator Harding to come to Wheel
ing on August ~ to address the Re-
publican platform convention. After
ward Senator Sutherland quoted Sena-
tor Harding as saying:
Nothing can induce me to leave here
before October L." The West Virginia
Senator said, however, that Senator
Harding promised to make a speech IN
West Virginia before the end OF the
campaign.
1t was supposed that Senator Hard
ing would have no difficulty in declin-
ing the Wet VIRGINIA invitation. be-
cause he had prior engagement for
August 2 to receive at the front porch
pottery makers from East Liverpool,
Ohio. Word came from there to-day
that the delegation had been unable to
arrange for rail transportation, and
wished to postpone the visit until later.
Rotarians to Visit Marion
Increased passenger fares are going
to increase materially the difficulty Of
getting large delegations here, but one
that is pretty sure to come in strength
is the rotary organization. Senator
Harding had received about fifty in
vitations to address Rotary clubs in
different parts of the country, and
when representative Of one Of the
largest was here recently Senator
Harding suggested that tho easiest
way for him to accept would be to have
them visit him here. This will be
done.
After he had shaken hands with
every one of the visitors to-day, Sena
tor Harding said that he was, f any
thing, more firmly welded to the front
porch idea than before. He will MAKE
speaking trips North, South, East and
West as previously announced, but not
until the end of the hot weather sea

The result in Oklahoma involves

popularity and without any particular
record on which he could be attacked
Gore had been cut off from Federal
patronage, because Of his opposition to
the President for at least four years,
and so his machine had received no

out by we'll oiled organization,

They have nothing to gain now If
