Reynolds First Report on Court Machinery Changes
Reynolds' initial report focuses on changes to the court machinery rather than public law. The document analyzes procedural mechanisms and administrative adjustments affecting judicial operations and case management.
McReynolds Urges Administrative Reform Not Anti Trust Legislation
Attorney General McReynolds in his first report to Congress emphasizes changes to agency machinery rather than law changes and remains silent on an anti trust program. President Wilson plans a special message on trusts, while McReynolds vows to oppose dissolution plans that leave control in the same stockholders. He proposes improved handling of annuities for judges and clerks, appellate review of customs decisions, and salary increases. Since taking office 52 Sherman act cases were pending, eight new cases begun since March, with many inquiries from across the country.
