Antitrust Legislation
Revision Again Asked
From the chicaso Daily News.

From the Chicaeo Daily News
In his address before the American
Bar Association at the annual meeting
OF that body in Memphis. Attorney
General Mitchell. as chief law of1icer Of
the Hoover administration. declared
that the law-enforcement policy of his
department., and that Of the Federal
Government as a whole admitted of DO
exceptions, The significance of those
words doubtless was appreciated by the
lawyersSwho heard them.
In the report of a very able commit
tee of the American Bar Association the
Federal antitrust act was pronounced
antiquated and detrimental. The re-
port called for radical revision Of the
law in the light of late economic de-
velopments-cartels, co-operatives, naef-
gers, chain stores, superpower and the
like. 1t proposed that an agency be
established to direct and advise men of
affairs who may be planning combina-
tons In aid, not in restraint, of trade.
Mr.. Mitchell may or may not sympa-
thize with that suggestion. In his
Memphis address he limited, indeed, At
change by Congress of the philosophy
of business control But, he pointediy
remarked, the administration was
bound to enforce the laws as they
stood. He added that, save in rare in.
stances, the Department of justice
would decline to pass on the legality of
plans for business mergers and conntti-
nations. since too often in the past rs
advice has been misinterpreted and mis-
applied.
The position taken by the ATTORNEY
General is, of course, sound. But the
opponents of existing archaic and am
biguous antitrust laws will continr,e
their agitation for modification of these
measures and will present bills to Con-
gress with that object in view. They
will expect the President to deal with
the important question in his forth
coming annual message and thus TO ia.
dictate his own ideas in the premises.
The matter Is vital. 1t Is ripe for wise
and effective treatment.

Pvt. Aliens Trial.

In denying Pvt. Allen a special trial
board zthe Commissioners have taken
the most difficult course. 1t would have
been much safer, as far as they are
concerned, and certainly it would have
been far easier TO shift the responsibility
for judging Aliens conduct to the
shoulders of some other body than the
regularly constituted Police Trial Board.
A certain section OF public opinion is
firmly convinced that members Of the
Police Department are incapable Of
trying Pvt. Allen. The merits of the
: case have nothing to DO with this con-
viction nor is the basis for it important.
II exists, and cannot be escaped.
But after careful consideration of
Aliens request ana weighing Of the
consequences Of refusing It, the Com
ri1Issioners, have taken, the action that
after all. Is highly important H. the

YOUNG CLERGY
DENIED RIGHT
To SMOKE

!. CUMBERLAND, Oct. 1.-Enforce-
nent of the rule which prohibits
the use of tobacco among younger
members of the clergy, but permits
its use by older members, was the
subject Of an extended debate at
the Baltimore Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
In a report submitted by the Rev.
w. j. Whitesell, of Ronceverte, w.
Va, 1t was recommended that the
Rev. Harry w. Craver, Of Augusta,
w. Va, be not passed as deacon
because he would not promise 10
abstain from smoking. Craver Is
said to have promised to refrain
from smoking in public. but re-
served the right to smoke In his
room. =,
The rule does not apply to the
clergy who entered the conference
prior to IS years ago, and Bishop
Collins Denny and others have been
seen enjoying cigars in the lobby at
their hotel.
In explanation of the rule it was
stated by one Of the leading men,
bers of the conference that 1t was
imposed about Is years ago by the
General Conference. 1t requires
that ministerial candidates make
promise that they will not use to-
bacco and If they had been users
they were to desist.
This does not apply at all to the
old members and was legislation for
the future from the time 1t was
passed and was not retroactive. It
was said that in the case of Mr..
Carver that he had made promise
and the question was whether or
not he was to keep it.

them matter of record in building
foundation for the testimony of

morning. In fact the ma iority of
the morning was spent i'll arguing

The checks were submitted for

The defense, so far, has eentented
itself with offering objections to
