The chief characteristic of the new {plan is that. while adjustment boards ‘ re provided on both a regional and a national basis, these boards will not interfere with ‘“such machinery of contract and adjustment as they may mutually establish.” | This provides the greatest freedom of action, espe. cially in the handling of minor dis- putes. It is evident also that some |of the worthwhile features of the | Howell-Barkley bill have been Incor- | porated in the new plan. | There is, for example, to be a board of mediation to consist of five mem- hers, to be appointed by the President of the United States, with the duty to intervene at the request of efther Party or on its own motion in any un- settled labor dispute of whatsoever kind. legislation active sup- President Arbitration Boards. If unable to bring about a settle- mént, the board is required to “make | an effort to induce the parties to con- sent to arbitration.”” A method of se- lecting arbitration boards is also pro- vided. If the board of medfation fails, it then notifies the President of the United States, who is authorized to create a special board to investigate and report within 30 days. This really means that as a last resort the board of review of new personnel is to be available, the principal function of which will be to state the facts in such a way as to morld public opinion. For, after all, public opinion is to be the only Torce uset in Bringing peace. All efforts to compel peace by law, or by government tribunal clothed ‘with the power of the courts, has been abandoned This is not a compromise, but a re- vefsion ‘to the viewpoint of hoth the labor leaders and the railroad execu- ‘tives, who have contended for five vears that the old Newlands act, with its board of mediation, was a much better instrumentality for maintain- ing peace than the present Railroad Board, which, of course, would -be abolished if the plan is adopted by Congress, a8 seems ‘assured. $Cssrxiehd. 1636.) | but | from the House and Senate | the | made | members of the House trritzhie when | 1910 | the { but | such a ACQUITTED BY JURY | Henry Pman whose like | Supreme i { | an invocation lcept fr | who. | to our municipal A medallion set in rich Tennessee marble, designed as an everlasting tribute from the people of the District to one of its beloved leaders—Henry K.

Senator Borah asked if it was tha custom of the Department of Justice, when matters are brought to the at- tention of the department by other agencies of the Government in which infractions of the laws ‘are charged, | for the department to institute its own investigations.

The Attorney General insisted that he had been misunderstood and that what he had sald was that the da- partment would conduct investiga- tions of its own and that he had made no statement that the department would ignore or fail to co-operate with other departments. “What I want to know,” continued Senator. Walsh, “was just how active and determined you were to get everything from the Federai Trade Commission.” “Personally, I have done nothing,” replied the Attorney General. ‘‘But 1 understand the men working on the case have sought every source of in- formation.” Cites Commission Ruling. Senator Walsh called attention to a resolution adopted by the Federal Trade Commission on February 11, 1925, declining to give to the Depart. ment of Justice information relating to the Aluminum Co. of America and deciding that it would be “kept con- fidential.” Senator Walsh insisted that this language meant the com- mission would give no information in hand .regarding the Aluminum Co. at -all.
