Government Owes An Obligation
To All Persons ' Handicapped

Discussion Breaks
Up In Row
tM )>. "?
Washington, March 2.?Franklin j
D'Olier, national commander of the,
American Legion, outlining to the
House ways and means committee today
the organization's demand for soldier
relief legislation, declared it
wanted no bonus, but assistance for
former service men in overcoming
* present "financial disadvantages."
All the Legion asks, he told the
- " *- ? troatnionf AS I
committee, is oo uuuux ?
is consistent with the welfare of the
" whole country."
"An overwhelming majority of exservice
men feel strongly that this!
government, owes an obligation to all I
persons who were handicapped either
bodily or financially," the national
' Y commander declared, adding that disabled
men, wanted relief legislation
.. to "the end that they would no longer
be objects of private charity."
Legislation Asked For.
Recommendations for legislation
were presented as follows:
v.: ' Land settlements covering farms in
all states; aid to encourage purchase
V of homes; vocational training, and adjustment
of compensation based on
P length of service for those not desiring
to avail themselves of the other three
^ y features.
; "The American Legion/' M|r. D'Olier
said, "asks nothing in its selfish
i'v.' interests at the expense of the country,
but at the same time does not
'eel ^at 01,8 ?bligation to ex-service
men and women should be altogether
passed at this time and all economizing
done at the expense of the ex?Arvice
men.
Yalue or Land Settlement.
"If legislation is wisely framed cov- j
if ering land settlement, home aid, and
vocational training, every dollar in-1
vested by the government will bring!
f ) ultimately great returns to the country
by making the ex-service man a
better citizen and greater producer." I
Hf< More than fifty bills relating to j
bonuses were before the committee,
t when it began hearings on the whole i
question of soldier relief.
I-'- * Thomas W. Miller, of Wilmington, I
Del., chairman of the Legion's legis-|
lative committee, declared that a war
service adjustment based on justice |
had taken the place of pensions based J
v on charity.
Breaks Up In Sow.
' Washington, March 2.?Taking up
for the first time the whole question;
of soldier relief legislation, the house
waysand means committee got into a

GOVERNMENT MAY [/
j SUE AGAIN IN CASE
OF ILLEGAL PRACTICE
Washington, March 1.?The sujpreme
court today upheld formation je
of the United States Steel Corpora- n
tion and subsidiary combinations in|c
' -a--i x? U,
tne iron ana steei muuswy. u
Refusing to dissolve the so-called t
"steel trust" the court dismissed the c
federal government's Sherman law
suit for dissolution. h
Affirming the New Jersey federal A
!court's dismissal of the government I
prosecution, the supreme court de- 1<
clined to enjoin the restraint of trade c
charged, and also denied an order to t;
break up the super-combirt&tion said t
to be the world's greatest industrial tl
organization, with assets exceeding r
$2,000,000,000. s
In dismissing the federal suit, however,
the cotjrt ordered such dismis- r
sal "without prejudice," permitting
the government to sue again if the
corporation actually resorts to illeg- e
al, wrongful or repressive practices. P
Justice McKenna read the opinion S
of the court. a
Justices Pitney, Clark and Day dis- h
sented. , , it
In rendering the decision Justice c
McKenna said that since 1911 no act P
in violation of law can be charged **'
against the steel corporation, and si
4-l?r*4- 44- wo r. fliA Ani'wiVw 4-1*a SI
mat i\j was tuc upiiiiuii ui uuc v,vuiw that
the practices complained of by P
the government had been abandoned.
Justice McKenna said that to grant f
the government's request for disrup- f'
tion of .the corporation and restore
conditions in the industry as they w
were twenty years ago would be im- s<
practicable. It would disrupt busi- P
ness, the decision said, and would
not be in the public interest.
Justice McKenna said the tobacco w
and Standard Oil company cases of- p
fered no analogy, as they had been If
guilty of certain objectionable prac- d
tices which the steel corporation had ai
not been. f<
The opinion of the court declared q
that the steel corporation had aban- C
doned practices the government had J1
considered illegal. The case must be aj
decided on present conditions, the R
court declared. The practices were S
ended before the suit was brought, ti
Justice McKenna said. o:
_ ... ?
iNo Repetition reared
"Our conclusion is that certain ci
practices have been abandoned on the n
convictions of the directors of the ei
corporation that they were futile," n
the opinion said. < . t<
The government cannot plead the a
fear of the resumption of these ?C- P
tivities. Since 1911, when the suit
was brought, no iUegal act can be le
charged against it. It made no effort
to fix prices but allowed them d
to follow natural conditions. The
competition was competitive, genu- tl
ine, direct and -vigorous. The gov- h
ernmeht must have something more ti
tangible to force a dissolution." H
The government presented no real
plan for dissolution, Justice McKenna
said. I
i i ?
vine government Dases its plan:
on twenty years ago," he said.
The American Tobacco and Standard
Oil cases were declared not to p
be similar. t.
