Anti-Slug Campaign
Aided by Federal Courts
CHICAGO-The campaign of the Auto-
matic P honograph Manufacturers Associa-
tion and the National Automatic Merchan-
dising Association against slugs, which
have become so prevalent in many commu-
nities duri'ng the past few months, has been
aided by the entry of Federal authorities
in the fight, according to the secl·etary of
the two groups.
In the first Federal court conviction
against a seller of slugs of this type,
returned in Omaha, December 20, foi low-
ing a three-day jury trial in the United
States District Court, Max A. Wasserman,
operator of an Omaha novelty store, was
found guilty of a Federal grand jury indict-
ment of September on three counts: "pos-
session" and "sales" of "falsely made and
counterfeited coins" in violation of Section
278 of Title 18 of the Federal Criminal
Code, and "issuing ... tokens and devices
... intended to be used as money for and
instead of the five cent pieces authorized by
law" in violation of Section 232 of the
Code.
John F. Dahl, Omaha cigarette operator,
and another Omaha citizen, ma
nal complaints which brought about tht
conviction. The case was prosecuted hy
Emmet L. Murphy, Assistant United States
Attorney, under direction of J. T. Votava,
U. S. Attorney at Omaha.
The two sections of the Federal law
under which Wasserman's conviction was
obtained, have the foflowing provisions:
Operators of cigarette, candy and soft
drink vending machines, and of phono-
graphs, who have suffered losses from slugs,
may obtain assistance by writing the details
to C. S. Darling, secretary of the two
national associations, at 120 South LaSalle
Street, Chicago.
