Does the Director General of Public Prosecutions have the authority to set aside the plain provisions of Section 10 of the Act?

Some courts, it is true, have taken a different view of the act, and held that litigants were authorized by section 10 to sue the companies [273 F. 782] as they had theretofore been able to do, and that it was not competent for the Director General to set aside the plain provisions of the statute in that respect. Johnson v. McAdoo (D.C.) 257 F. 757, is one of such cases. We think such a construction of the act is based upon a misapprehension of what was intended, and is opposed to the decided weight of authority.
