Attorney General Says Depart
ment of Justice Can Proceed
Under Sherman Law-Bus-
mess Not to Be Harassed
But Law to Be Enforced

Washington, April "A general
warning to business that the Depart
ment of Justice will countenance no
violations of the law was sounded to-
day by Attorney General Daugherty
The attorney general said the De-
partment of Justice did not intend
to harrass business in any way but
that it did intend to enforce the law
He pointed out that while the prof.
teering sections of the Lever act had
been declared unconstitutional, the
department still could proceed under
the Sherman law.
THE country" Mr. Daugherty said,
should take notice of q new day
and Il new way" and those who had
been guilty of illegal practices should
not CLOSE their eyes" His statement.
he added, was a modest but empha-
tic warning to those for whom it
was intended" and could be regard
ed as an opportunity for any of those
who should mend their ways to do
so.
Mr.. Daugherty was discussing spe-
officially the situation in the building
materials industry. which he declared
reports to the department showed to
be ''intolerable." He said the Depart
ment of Justice would ask for more
aid from the outside than it had re-
ceived heretofore and that lawyers
representing firms should regard
themselves as agents of the Depart
ment of Justice in upholding the law.
The attorney general announced
that it was the purpose to investigate
conditions in the building material
trades wherever an inquiry was war
ranted. Indictments already have
been returned in New York and Chi
cago, he said, and complaints have
come from other cities.
