Washington, March 4-The state
of New Jersey through its attorney
general. Thomas F. McCrane, to-
day filed in the United States su-
preme court a suit seeking to have
the prohibition amendment de-
clared unconstitutional and to pre-
vent enforcement of the Volstead
act. The suit is directed against
Attorney General Palmer and Dan

The bill sets forth that the
amendment was improperly drawn
that in Il states the legislatures
have not ratified it as provided by
their state constitutions and that
there is no power in congress to
propose a constitutional amend
ment regulating the habits and
morals of the people. 1t recites
further that the amendment is a
Legislative and not constitutional
matter and that as such it was i'm
properly passed
1t is charged that the amend

Washington Disturbed by
"Rule of Reason" Ap-
piled in Steel Case.
RY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, ID. c., March Few
decisions of the supreme court of
the United States have had such
demoralizing effect on the prose-
cutting branch of the government as
the verdict which gave the United
States Steel corporation clean bill
of health as a good trust.
Official Washington is just begin
ming to realize the stunning blow
which has been delivered to the de-
partment of justice, and incidental
ly to congress which has brought
the Sherman antitrust law as the
weapon with which monopoly and
unfair competition might be sue
cessfully fought.
What good is the Sherman law
now? What is the use of trying to
go any further? What can be ac-
complished by prosecution of IL
legality if the supreme court can
use its discretion in saying wheth-
er or not law shall be enforced:"
These and similar questions were
being asked by the lawyers in gov
ernment circles in view of the su-
preme courts action in the steel.
cases.
1t must not be forgotten that an
other factor enters into the disap-
pointment naturally felt in depart
ment of justice circles.
Actually Five Against.
The decision of the court was
four to three. Justices Day. Clarke
and Pitney dissented and would
have been able to change the en-
tire decision If Justices Brandeis
and McReynolds had not been tech
nically disqualified from voting be-
cause they had participated In the
steel case before it was tried. Mr.,
McReynolds was attorney general
and prosecuted the steel cases. Mr..
Brandeis appeared before congress
sional committee and wrote exten-
sively against the steel corpora
ton. So it is an open secret that
five justices are in favor of pun
| ishing the steel cooperation as
against the four who would exon
crate the company from penalty.
This accident, however, is not
what is causing SO much concern
10 the effect on other cases and the
prosecution of monopoly.
