FATE OF STORAGE
EGG STAMP ORDER
IN COURTS HANDS
Dealers Opposing billions Edict
Say There Is No Necessity
for New Rule

TIE fate OF the cold storage egg is
now in the hands OF Justice Blur, of
the Supreme Court.
After listening yesterday TO the ar
guments Of dealers. who sought to be
relieved from the yoke Of Commits
sioner Dillon's stamping rule, and to
Alfred /. Becker, Deputy Attorney
General. the court reserved decision.
As Mr. Becker observed, Eggs are
eggs" but the argument was all in
favor OF tagging all eggs delayed IN
circulation.
Half a dozen or more dealers were
directly concerned IN the proceedings,
while the outcome will be Of import TO
all dealers IN New York. They have
questioned the power OF Commissioner
Dillon 10 issue an order requiring the
stamping Of all cold storage eggs and
contcnded besides that there was no
need for the rule.
Dillon wanted ruling b. the court
sustaining his power and the reason
ableness Of his rule. so that any IN
fraction might be punishable. Counsel
for the dealers also argued that ire
duently fresh eggs were stamped TO
distinguish them from their more ven
cradle kinsmen. so that there was no
need 20 stamp the storage variety.
Mr.. Becker told Justice Blur that
If all dealers did as some now do and
told their customers which we're the
fresh eggs and which the cold storage
End did not try to sell the old for the
new. there would be no need OF rule.
