make several states rely on the ma
ton instead of on themselves.
The other question submitted for
the consideration of the organization
relates to price cutting and to the
right of manufacturers to fix a re-
sale price which shall follow it
through the retailers to the consumer.
There were two main reports submit
ted on this question, the majority
favoring the right of the manufac-
turer to fix the retail price and fav-
oring federal legislation to prevent
price cutting. This report is signed by
seven of the 10 members appointed to
investigate and recommend. Two of
these, however, filed a supplemental
report explaining their positions. The
minority report which opposes the
sort of legislation recommended and
declares it to be contrary to the spir-
it of American legislation and tend
ing to foster trusts and the sort Of
monopoly which is repugnant alike to
the common and state law and to the
constitutional provisions of most of
the states of the union
The majority holds that the right to
name a resale price should apply to
all merchandise trade-marked, brand
ed or in other ways identified so that
the consumer could know who it's
originator might be. 1t is recon-
mended that the legislation suggested
apply only in cases where competitive
conditions exist. that is where the
public has substantial freedom in
making a choice between one article
and another. and not where a natural
or artificial monopoly exists. 1t is
contended that the right of the man
ufacturer to set the price has never
been denied; that contracts for that
purpose have been recognized as val
id by English and American courts
until recently when the supreme court
of the United States modified this
rule; that the producer of an article
should be held responsible to the pub
lie, that he is responsible for its be-
ing reliable article and that these
obligations make it necessary that he
have the power and opportunity tC
fulfill them, which cannot happen il

EUROPE NOT READY
FOR PEACE YET
Rev. Charles S. MaCFarland
Describes Conditions
PEOPLE THERE GRADUALLY BE-
COMING LESS BITTER.
Premature Interference Would Hurt,
But Time For Moral Intervention
Coming.

In the article entitled "A View of
Present Conditions in Europe Rev.
Charles s. MacFarland, general sec
rotary of the federal council of
Churches of Christ in America, takes
the position that conditions are not
yet ripe for anything like overtures
for peace, either political or non-poli-
teal and that any movement of the
sort at the present time would result
only in harm and delay, but suggests
that the time will soon come when
there will be an opportunity for some
kind of moral Intervention. The arti-
Gle reviews military conditions which
he finds are still hanging in the bal
ance. and explains the tendencies to-
ward a state of mind which will lead
to ultimate peace. From the purely
religious side, DR.. MacFarland ap-
proaches the subject from the point
of view of a member of an Evangeli-
cal church, having only an indirect
reference to the state Protestant
churches of most of the continent,
and emitting from consideration, in
this connection, the Roman Catholic
church, which has within it's member
ship the majority of the populations
of Italy, Austria, Belgium, Portugal,
and nominally at least, France. and
has a large percentage of the pOpula-
lions of Germany and the United
Kingdom, and also ignores the East
ern Greek church, which predomin-

predatory competition, that is, COM
petition for the purpose of forcing
rivals out of business. This supple
mentary report says substa ltially that
further investigation should be made
before endorsing any particular leg
lslatlve measure and that it is posi-
BILE that the power to give all needed
relief is already vested in the federal
trade commission. In closing, how
ever, certain additions to the present.
federal trade law, tending to prohibit
predatory competition are suggested
The minority in a long report de-
MES the facts and the legal ceduc-
tons set forth by the majority report
and by the supplemental report filed
by two members of the majority. 1t
is contended that the privilege of fix
ing prices which the majority con-
tends to have been permitted to the
manufacturers of identified articles,
was, as a matter of fact, granted by
the courts, only to manufacturers of
patented articles. and to publishers of
copyrighted books. and that even in
the latter case the ruling of the state
courts were reversed by the supreme.
court of the United States. That
while the purchaser from a manufac-
/
price should do so, yet this is not the @
object of the proposed law, which
would also stop those who bought
without such agreement from cutting
prices; that the damage from price
cutting is greatly overestimated that
while there is such practice as pre-
datory price cutting it is limited in
extent and duration in competitive
business and that it's injuries to trade
are insignificant and need no legisla-
ton for correction; that the legisla-
ton asked so far from being in the
interest of the small dealer and the
public would result in the establish
ment of monopoly in lines where it
does not now exist; and, lastly that
such legislation would be of doubtful
constitutionality.
The assistance of the Merchants as
sociation will be asked by the COM
mercial club in the discussion of the
matter OF the regulation of price cut
ting and the control of resale prices.
The following are the forms of the.
recommendations of the committee in
all the matters referred to above, the
proper forms for voting favorably or
unfavorably being provided after each
recommendation:
The committee recommends liberal
federal appropriations for the promo
ton of vocational education in the
United States.
The committee recommends that.
federal. appropriation should be en-
acted for the allotment among the
states on a uniform basis and should
bear uniform relation to appropria-
tons made By the states for like pur-
/ poses
) There should be federal legislation
permitting the maintenance of resale
prices, under proper restrictions, on
? identified merchandise for voluntary
} purchase, made and sold under COM
: petive conditions.
Federal legislation should take the
form Of an amendment to the trade
commission act defining the condi-
2 tons under which price cutting is an
) unfair method of competitor and au-
J thorizing the federal trade commits
sion to prevent such price cutting in
interstate and foreign commerce.

she can stand out so long that the
others may weary out, and their
minds also take account of the many
possible complications or accidents
which may upset their main conten-
ton. The further question becomes
more and more in evidence, will it
not cost more than the end is worth? ?"
| feel sure that men are feeling this
far more than they express it?
There is enc question which, if as
sured of settlement or of adequate
conference, might relegate all others
to the immediate realm of negotiation.
1t is this: Would all the nations
agree and furnish guarantees that
such a gradual limitation of arma-
ments should be conceded and such
European Federation of States eS-
tablished as would assure the peace of
Europe? This, of course, would also
involve changes in form of govern
ment, not only in Germany, but also
in Russia and other countries. 1t
might affect the present system of
party government in Great Britain.
Indeed, it is admitted that the conflict
of Democracy and Autocracy is not
altogether one whose line of division
is identical with that which marks
off the present combinations of
states. The question of the military
system in Germany is not unlikely to
be affected for the better by the as
ISOLATION of Austria which is not a
military people.
This much may, I think be affirm
ed: There is a disposition towards
/ two truths-that economic justice or
economic growth cannot be gained by
military means and force, and that
militarism cannot be put out of eX-
istence by military methods. These
feelings are increasingly varying in
oil quarters, and this spirit will bear
close watch in the next few months.
There may soon be opportunity for
some kind of moral Intervention

TWENTY SCOTCH
 LASSlES COMING
SKILLED WORKERS WILL COME ON DESPATCH FOR NEW
 SARDINE PLANT.

Twenty fair Scotch lassies, rang ing in age from IS to 80 years and every one of them an expert fish splitter, says the Seattle Times, will leave for southeastern Alaska May 24 on the Border Line Trans portation Company's steamship De- spatch to join the forces of the Alaska Herring and Sardine Com pany's plant at Port Walter. The young women will be employed in the sardine department of the plant.
 All the lassies come from fam lilies that have been expert fish splitters for generations. They are among the most highly skilled workers in the world. Each of the twenty is single, but if the ex- perience of other maidens who have gone north is repeated in their case the company may have to keep sending for endorsements.
 They form the first company of young women to be sent north to work in a cannery. The New Eng land Fish Company employees IS Scotch girls in its Vancouver plant as herring splitters,, all being either sisters or cousins to one another Most of the twenty who will leave Seattle are also related to each other.
