To Defend the Draft.
The department of justice is
preparing for a quick clean up of
attacks on the constitutionality
of the conscription law, says a
Washington despatch.
On the opening day of the supreme
court's fall session, October
3, the government probably
will move to dismiss the cases.
The government's brief is already
being drawn, it has been
officially learned. The absence
of specific authority in the fed-1
eral constitution for sending the
National Guard troops out of the
United States is giving the department's
sleuths the greatest
difficulty. This will be met, it
is said, by pleading that the militia
lost its identity as such
when it was sworn into the
federal service.
