It bas resulted also in a thorough- going reorganization of the Bureau of Investigation, which has brought about an improvement in {ts person- nel and its morale, and has limited its activities to investigations of probable violations of Federal law or to other investigations authorized by law. It has resulted also in the stim- ulation of activity in the United States atforneys’ offices throughout the country, and in a closer co-opera- tion between the department and those offices in carrying on the great work of law enforcement. The be- ginnings have been made for a better organized and improved prison s&ys- tem, and for improvement of our system of paroling prisoners under parole statutes, “In addition to the anti-trust ac- tivities of the Government, particular attention has been directed during the past year to the solution of two major problems, the selection and prosecu- tions of cases involving the organiza- tion and activities of trade assocla- tions so as to develop the law relut- ing to that subject, and the applica- tion of the anti-trust laws to re- straints of trade and monopolies based upon the acquisition or pooling of competitive patents. Statutes aggre- gating claims of $500,000,000 were passed upon by the Court of Claims, resulting in judgments against the Government during the vear totaling about four and one-half million dol- lars. “Decislons In tax cases, involving not only large sums of money but ex- tremely important legal principles, established a greater certainty in the administration of the various revenue acts which was desirable both from the standpoint of the taxpayer and as an aid to efficlent administration of law. “Successful litigation in behalf of the Government affecting war-time transactions has resulted in more than 36,000,000 being returned to the United States Treasury, while nearly $3,000,- 000 in compromise offers has beel submitted to the department and is now before the solicitor of the Treas- ury for approval. Nearly 400 cases affecting public lands also were dis- posed of during the year. Assigned to Fort Myer. Capt. W. H. E.

GREEN URGES WORKERS TO FIGHT CHILD LABOR Calls Upon All to Seek Ratification of Amendment as Tribute to Gompers. ing “The Workers of Amer- ica, ident William Green of the American Federation of Labor last night called upon every lebor organi- zatlon in the United States to gird for the fight for ratification of the child labor amendment to the Con- stitution. In his statement, he declared that the amendment was ‘in a very distinctive way the work of our great leader Samuel Gompers,” and that ratification would be a “peculiarly impressive expression of our regard for him.” “This amendment,” he stated, “is necessary to bring about unity in the regulation of child labor, so that the children of all the States shall have equal opportunity to develop spiritually and mentally. The first step In securing that Federal amend- ment was completed with its ap- proval by Congress. The next step is ratification by the various States. “The enemies of the amendment aye resourceful and vigilant. Though we are trebly equinped because of the justice, the humanity and the wis- dom of our cause, there is grave need that we devote ourselves unreserved- ly ‘to the ratification of the amend- ment by each of the States. I call upon all labor to do its full share.” HELD BY KIWANIS CLUB Class of Twelve Stage “Commence- ment’—New Officers Installed at Gathering.
