PREFACE

THE publisher of the United States Compiled Statutes Annotated, 1916, and the Supplement thereto of 1919, presents, in four volumes, a second Supplement continuing that publication, with its various features. All laws of general application enacted after March 4, 1919, the date of the closing of the 1919 Supplement and up to January 1, 1923, have been included in this Supplement. The new laws have been classified in accordance with the scheme of division employed in the prior volumes and according to the method of distribution adopted by the Revised Statutes of the United States. To determine whether a provision now appearing in the prior volumes is still intact and a part of the laws of the United States, the searcher can turn to the same section number in the present Supplement. If the number does not appear in this Supplement, the reader can take it for granted that no change has been made in the former provision. If the provision has been repealed or superseded, a note will appear in the Supplement, under the appropriate section number, indicating the subsequent history of the legislation.

The annotations have been continued on the plan used in the prior volumes, to March 1, 1923. To facilitate ready reference the notes have been given the same numbers that they bore in the prior volumes.
