SUPREME, COURT ORDERS
CONTEMPT CASE REVIEW
Decision Affecting Penalty Incurred
by Stock and Grain Company
for Disobeying INJUNCTION.

Grain and live stock market quotations
in some 400 western cities were concerned
today in the decision Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States that the eighth United
States circuit court of appeals must re-
view the contempt punishment inflicted
by the eastern Missouri court on the
Merchants Stock and Grain Company.
Grounds Of the Charge.
1t was claimed that the merchants
company had been guilty Of contempt
in disobeying temporary Injunction not
to send various cities the market quota
lions of the board of trade of Chicago.
The company was fined $500, three
fourths OF which was TO go to the board
and one-fOurth to the government
The case was said to be strikingly
similar to the GOmpers contempt case in
the District of Columbia.
Criminal Features Predominant.
The Supreme Court today held that in
the contempt proceedings before it for
review the criminal features predominant
ed its civil characteristics. and therefore
the circuit court of appeals must review
the proceedings rather than wait for the
litigation out of which the proceedings
arise to come before it for review.

Secretary of Commerce and Labor to
take the necessary steps to initiate as
soon as practicable. at Washington, a
conference Of delegates from organiza-
lions which are engaged in the promo
ton and development Of commerce and
industry in their respective districts,
such conference to consider the es-
adjustment of a representative ma
tional organization for commercial de-
velopment. and to outline the princi-
pies by which it should be governed.
The development of the plan will be
left entirely with the accredited rep
resentatives OF such commercial or
ganizations the essential principles be-
ing that the national association shall
be broadly representative Of the COM
mercial interests of the whole country.
and that its organization shall be
such that those in control of the assoc
citation shall be readily responsive to
the will of the majority of the constit-
uent members

in April be devoted to considering the
question and outlining the principles

For Development of Trade.

ut is not my intention to define the
purposes Of such an organization, or
indeed in any manner to anticipate the
scope of the discussion upon which such
delegates may conclude to enter; but 1t
appears to me to be obvious that such
an organization must be instrumental In
a very large field to aid and assist the
executive and legislative branches of gov
eminent in the intelligent and nmpart1ai
development OF domestic and foreign
trade. For illustration, such an organize
ton properly represented at the seat OF
government could be of incalculable as
sistance in advising the executive branch
Of government with respect to the meth
DDS and rules to be adopted in the ad-
ministration Of existing law. 1t could
be of like assistance in giving advice In
regard to proposed new legislation ano
in counseling representatives Of the exec
utive branch when asked to submit rec
concentrations upon bills introduced and
pending before committees.

best possible position to suggest fields

methods by which such inquiries should

to assume that If such an organization Is
created its chief activities will be devel-
oped in the light OF our own experience.

NATIONAL IN SCOPE
President Taft Suggests
Countrywide Trade Board.
MEETING TO FORM PLANS
Secretary Nagel Authorized to Call
Conference in Washington.
STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT
Action Taken as Result Of Sugges-
tons by Commercial and In
dustrial Bodies.

President Taft has started a movement
for a national board of trade, and by his
direction Secretary Nagel of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor has for
warded invitations to the commercial and
industrial organizations of the country to
send their representatives to this city
April Is to discuss the proposition and
take such action as may be necessary to
the formation of a concrete organization.
The Presidents statement calls atten-
ton to the great value of such an or
ganization, broadly representative of the
commercial interests of the whole coun-
try. 1t follows:
I'm a message on foreign relations. COM
municated to Congress on December Z
last, / expressed my belief that 1t would
he of great value to have some central
organization in touch with the associa-
lions and chambers of commerce through
out the country. and able to keep purely
American interests closely in touch with
commercial affairs This statement was
prompted by suggestions that had been
made from time to time by the represent
atiyes of various commercial and in
dustrial interests in all parts or the
country.

Confirmed by Experience.

"These suggestions were fully confirmed
by the experience Of those executive
branches of the government which are
more especially charged with measures
calculated to develop domestic and Tor
eign commerce. In the past several at
tempts have been made to organize COM
mercial bodies upon national basis. but
for one reason or another these EFFORTS
have not met with success. One Of the
great difficulties arose from the fact that
none OF these general organizations was
OF a. character to make it possible or
proper for the government to recognize
it as representative of the commercial
and Industrial interests Of the country
1.-THE plan Of a broadly representative
national organization SO proposed by me
has met with such response from COM
mercial and industrial organizations in
every part of the country that I believe
the time is ripe to put it to test OF
practical experiment, and l have con-
cluded to take the initiative SO as to
create the opportunity for full discussion
and decision by. the delegates OF repre-
sentative organizations.

Investigation of Activities.

In its effort to serve the commercial
interest of the country the Department
Of Commerce and Labor is making an
inquiry into the activities Of the various
chambers Of commerce, boards of trade
and other commercial bodies in different
sections Of the country. Their number is
now said to be nearly 6,OOO, and many of
them have become powerful institutions
of their kind. In connection with the
movement, it Is said to be likely that the
methods Of making shipments abroad, the
location of the various industries, COM
mercial museums and kindred matters
may be looked into as Of special interest
to manufacturers.

One of Many Big Things.

Arthur c. Moses, first vice president of
the Board of Trade, declared that the
Presidents suggestion for national
board Of business men was another piece
of evidence that the President takes a
deep interest in things outside the merely
governmental end Of his Office and that
he fills his office in a large way.
"This suggestion for business mems
board is one Of the many big things
which have come from President Taft
said Mr. Moses. "If it is developed
there are large possibilities for benefit to
the country. 1t Is foregOne conclusio on
that the men who will take places on this
national board will be sincere in their
work and will have the best interests of
the country at heart.
From my knowledge of business
throughout this country, obtained through
my connection with the manufacturing
interests, l am sure the Presidents sug-
gestion will be welcomed by all, and
that the manufacturers will cooperate
heartily in making the plan a success. 1t
