JUSTICE INQUIRY
into FILMS BEGUN
Department to Determine
Effect of Trust Laws on
Present Methods.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
An investigation to determine
whether antitrust laws had been vio-
lated in the motion-picture industry
has been started by the Department
Of Justice, following the recent Federal
Trade Commission order against the
Famous Players-Lasky Corporation.
The trade commission ordered the
corporation to cease unfair practices.
including the block booking of films.
where the exhibitor was required to
take all films in a group or none.
Canon William Sheafe Chase of the
International Reform Federation. in
an open letter, recently asked Presi-
dent Coolidge to take the matter out
OF the hands of Attorney General Sar-
gent, declaring there had been lack
of action against the motion,picture
industry since Will Hays, former
Postmaster General, had been at its
head. The department has had no
comment to make on the Chase letter.
William J. Donovan, assistant to the
Attorney General, is in charge of the
anti-trusts division. 1t was pointed out
at the department that practically all
important mergers or similar trade
activities come under the supervision
of the Government and that investiga-
ton does not carry with it the I'M
plication of probable action against
the corporation which is being investi-
gated.

Armies. It covers the period from
1882 until ITS.
This book makes frequent use Of
Washington's Diaries" and much
other data. 1t shows that Wash
ington was one Of the most travelled
men of his day and that he did most
of his travelling on horseback.
Main Street in his day was the
forest, but he was able to get
through. It is interesting to note
that Washington accepted many
luncheon and dinner engagements.
The record shows that he took spe-
cial delight in keeping record of
where he ate.

states: October Is. Sunday. Phila-
delphia. Went to Christ Church in
