TOBACCO POOLING ACT VOID
Supreme Court of U. s Knocks Out
Famous Crecelius Law

The act of the Kentucky Legislature
of 1900, permitting pools or combna-
tons of producers of tobacco and 9th.
er agricultural products "for the pur-
pose OF obtaining a better or highe-
price therefor than could or might be
obtained. by selling said crops separ-
ately or Individually" was declared
to be invalid by the Supreme Court OF
the United States. Monday for the rea-
son that it sets up standard of con-
duct SO uncertain that mere human
agencies could not be expected to con-
form to it. The attitude of the court
is the same as was exhibited two weeks
ago when the Kentucky antitrust act
was declared to be invalid. The blow
TO the tobacco pooling law was deliver
ed for the same reason that the anti
trust act was wiped out The two acts
the Court declared. must be considered
together and, this having been done,
both acts made the standard of Legal
conduct the question whether the COM
hination resulted in raising or lower
ing the price above or below the real
value"
The case decided Monday arose from
he facr that Patrick Collins and Tho
mas Malone. with other tobacco grow
ers Of Mason county joined a tobacco
pool and subsequently sold their to-
bacco outside the pool without the con-
sent of the pool agent. The two men
we're indicted under the pooling act
which permitted fines to be imposed
upon those who violated the agreement
intended TO he validated thereby. Their
cases differed only in that Collins took
his tobacco to Cincinnati and sold it.
while Malone sold his in Kentucky and
did not therefore involve an interstate
transportation.
