Attorney General Proposes
Nine Senior Circuit JUS
tices Meet With Taft

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Legisla-
tion creating eighteen Federal judges
at-large was recommended to-day to
President Harding and to the Judiciary
Committee of the House and Senate by
Attorney General Daugherty as part of
plan for reorganization of the coun-
trys judicial system to remedy the con-
gested conditions Of Federal court
dockets all over the country.
Provision would also be made under
the plan for an annual conference of
the nine senior circuit judges with the
Chief Justice Of the United States and
the Attorney General to consider wavs
and means of expditing Federal bust
ness and increasing the efficiency Of
the courts.
The new judges, it was explained.
would not be assigned to any particu
lar circuit, but would be available for
service wherever court business piled
up.
Alarming Situation in Courts
Investigation of the alarming situa-
ton" in the Federal courts, Mr..
baugherty said. revealed that on June
80, 1921, there were 141 900 cases pend
ing, as compared with 1874 cases
at the end of the previous fiscal year,
While in some districts there had been
an increase of 800 per cent in criminal

prohibition" he said, "and although
the number of liquor cases will doubt
less decrease as the states pass en-
fcrcement laws and as public opinion
changes in the districts where enforce
ment is now difficult, nevertheless such
decrease will not occur in the near
future, and even then the increase in
civil business due to growth in popu-
lation, the ending Of the war period
and the continued development of the
country will, in our judgment, pre-
vent any appreciable relief to the
Federal courts.
Present Congestion Intolerable
''The present congested condition of
the docket is intolerable and results
in the loss of evidence. The abandon
ment of cases, the denial and frequent
defeat of justice lowers the high
standards of the Federal courts. It is
my opinion that this legislation is ,rac-
tical, economical and most necessary" j."
The proposed plan Of reorgani-
zation was drawn by a volun-
try commission composed of Judge
John Z. Safer, OF Ohio; Judge
W. I. Grubb, of Alabama; Judge

trict Attorney William II. Hayward,
