Unfair Competition.
Big Bunch of Complaints Be-

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE federal
trade commission, created last year
with wide powers over commerce, will
issue within a few days a series of
rulings defining unfair competition
The ruling will cover some 40 cases

law empowering the commission to
prevent unfair trade methods Many
cases have been settled, it was learned
today, without formal action by the
commission, some concerns against
whom complaint was made yielding

plications for complaints are before
the commission now.
When complaint is made of unfair

points of law alone. An appeal may
be held from the circuit court to the

The commission will have a report
in about a month on information
gathered in an extensive inquiry into
the health of business generally in the
