Washington, Nov. 2.--Further
enforcement Of a number of
state laws depends upon the out
come of arguments to be made
orally during the coming week to
the supreme court.
The case which has probably
attracted the most attention is
one from Kentucky, attacking
the validity Of the farmers pool
ing act of that state. Patrick
Collins and Thomas Malone, to-
bacco growers, have been fined
for selling their tobacco outside
a pool after having agreed TO en-
ter the pool. Both now contend
before the supreme court that the
Kentucky statute of 1906, known
as the farmers poo ing act, which
made it lawful for any number
of persons to combine crops to
obtain better pri, es, is violative
of the Sherman u thrust law.
They further claim that a state
cannot make it unlawful for one
to sell pooled tobacco indepen-
dent of the pool. 1t is the first
time such a law has come before
