Industry which must be met and sat
isfactorily adjusted. Among these Is
the matter of the potato quarantine
the tariff the complaints made to the
State department of agriculture of al
legged inferiod seed potatoes ana the
general question of the advancement
of the potato interests of the state.
THE potato quarantine is of para
mount interest not only to Maine but
the country in general" said Commits
soner Roberts Thursday. Germany
raises four or five times the crop that
we do but the German potato has i'm
PROJECTIONS that have caused it to be
quarantined. However, it is alleged
that Germany is shipping potatoes to
this country via Belgium and other
countries on which there is no embar-

the strict maintenance of this quaran-
tine is of great Importance not only to
the potato sellers but to the countrys
crop as well, which is now free from

Another important matter" said
Commissioner Roberts, lis the main
tenance of the standard of Maine seed
potatoes. Our department has been
receiving complaints from New Jersey
and other sections that Maine grow
ers are selling seed potatoes not true
to name and OF inferior quality. There
are two sides to this complaint. 1t
is generally know that many buyers
and middlemen seek to purchase the
cheapest grades of seed potatoes so
that it may be the trouble is up to the
buyers and middlemen rather than to
the sellers.
TT is Of prime importance that we
maintain our standards on seed va
rieties and this is one of the matters
that will receive discussion. This is
the first potato day planned in this
State and we are looking for large

A walkout of union hatters employed
by D. E. Loewe & Co. in 1901 was the be
ginning of the case. The factory up to
that time and since had been conducted
on a non-unien basis. In 1902 D. E.
Loewe & Co. brought suit against Mar
tine Lawler and 239 other members Of the
Hattre's Union, alleging boycott that
was a violation of the Sherman antitrust
law in that interstate commerce was re-
strained.
The company alleged that it's business
had been seriously injured by the boy
colt and claimed $4,000 damages. Soon
after the suit was brought the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor decided to
stand behind the defendants and to re-
imburse them against any loss.

ton of Right to Impose Fine
Under Present Laws.

The matter of the ALLEGED impotcncy
of the District building law. brought up
in Police Court yesterday when mo-
ton was made for the uuashing of a
case on the ground that the laws made
no provision for the imposition OF a fine
by the Commissioners. will he placed be-
fore Corporation Counsel Thomas this
morning by Commissioner Rudolph. II
Mr.. Thomas SO advises, Commissioner
Rudolph will then lay the matter before
the District committees of Congress. that
the provisions OF the law may be
strengthened. This was announced last
night by the Commissioner.
The controversy arose in the case OF
the District VS.. F. II. Javins. charged
with a violation OF the building laws.
Mr.. Javins' counsel. Miller & Gertman.
made the point that the case was in
valid. in that the law does not give the
Commissioners the right to impose a fine
on offenders. Judge Pugh continued the
hearing until Friday, when the District
will answer.
Mr.. Thomas said last night he did not
think II necessary to discuss the point, 1t
was so untenable.
1T is only Iudcrous.' he said. The
law would never have been put on the
statute books had II not in reality dele
gated the authority to the Commission
ers to enforce the provisions of the law
with the proper fines. I have no idea
the point will be held. but should it be,
an appeal will promptly be taken TO the
District Court of Appeals"
Building Inspector Hacker took the
same view of the matter.
THE law has stood the test of about
forty years, and has never been ques-
toned. There has never been any trouble
with imposing fines after conviction
uEder it, and there is absolutely no
precedent for the action taken yester-
day."
II am not a lawyer" Commissioner
Rudolph said, 80 cannot say much
about the matter. but 1 shall put It up
to Corporation Counsel in the morning.
and If he advises 1 shall go before the
District Committees of Congress, for IL
fines may not be imposed under the law,
