GuIick Wants Trade Premium
Ads Barred From Mails.
He Introduces Concurrent ResO-
luton in Senate Today.
GIVE STATES POWER TO ACT"
Put Concerns Under Police Con-
troll of Local Authorities.
Resolution May Bring on Big
Fight in Upper House.

Before adjournment today Senator
Gulick of Republic, will offer a senate
concurrent resolution requesting con-
gress to subject the trading stamp
regulation to the police control of the
states and deny the use of the mails
to all advertisements and correspon-
dence relative to trading stamps.
The resolution states that whereas,
wrappers. tags and tokens of various
kinds. redeemable by manufacturers or
dealers, have become a menacing evil
to legitimate trade" and whereas all
such inducements are fictitious, mis-
leading and partake of the nature of
gift enterprises which are condemned
by the enlightened conscience of the
mercantile world" congress should
act.
1t is also pointed out in the resolu-
ton that the promoters of such enter
prises claim protection under the in
terstate commerce regulations of the
federal government
Make 1t Drastic.
The nubbfn of the resolution is in
the following paragraph:
BE IT RESOLVED, That the leg
islature of the state of Kansas. re
quests congress to enact a law which
VIII subject all gOOuS OF tnaU character
to the police control Of the states
and deny the use of the mails to all
advertisements and correspondence
relative to the same. and prohibit the
transmission by parcel post or other
wise, of all such stamps, coupons,
wrappers, tags or tokens, or packages
in which they are contained, and the
shipment of any articles given in the
redemption thereof
The probabilities are that this reso-
luton will precipitate the trading
stamp fight on the floor in advance
of any report by the committee of the
whole. The bill is now on the calen-
dar under the head of general orders.
but unless it is advanced it will not
be reached for a week or more. The
Gulick resolution will bring the fight
to a head quickly and will determine
the attitude of the senators on the
trading stamp matter.
Women Want Stamps.
| There has been little discussion
among senators of the trading stamp
/ bill. 1t is a matter they have avoided.
Thousands of women are using their
influence for the trading stamp. Big
mercantile establishments have lobbies
TAT work both for and against it. But
on the floor of the senate the subject

TRADE BOOMS ANYHOW
Current Handbags Fail to Put Crimp
in National Volume of Business.

New York. Feb. 17.-Bradstreets
today will say:
Despite many drawbacks, chief of
these being a partial blockade of for
eign trade, unprecedented railway
congestion threatening public food and
fuel supplies and very cold stormy
weather the country's trade continues
heavier than a year ago at this time
in fact.
This is. of course. especially true of
spring trade, which is secure bevong
peradventure except where DELAYS in
shipping threaten to further retard de-
liveries of urgently required goods
Retail trade, save where, given a spur
by the coolest weather of the winter,
is rather less active tho concededly
better than year ago.
1T is in the matter of far future
trade and in industrial operations that
retarding or disorsanizng effects are
, most evident, and here the dominant
note as regards future buying is one
of conservatism, pending a clearer
view of the outcome of international
unsettlement and the possible effect
on prices if the trouble should result

Defense of BenevOIence Fails to

Company Represents so Per

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE govern
ment today filed in the supreme
court its brief in the dissolution suit
against the International Harvester
company. Its officers and directors
appealed from the federal court in
Minnesota which ordered the dissolu-
~ of the company. There is no such
thing. as a good or benevolent trust
within the meaning of the Sherman
law, the government contends, and all
com binations which break down the
competitive system are in restraint of
trade The brief continues:
! 1T is aparene that the objections to
substituting q despotic organization of
industry for the competitive system
were quite as much social and politi-
cal as economic, and, therefore it
would not have satisfied congress to

that prices had not yet been increased
nor wages lowered, nor the quality of
products degraded, nor competitors

existence of such powerful combina-
ger-from which in the long run, if

near Singer and Constance for per-
mission to cross the frontier into

1t is reported from Schaffhausen

u, S. BACK OF IT
Wilson Threatened Paper Max
ers With Legislation.
Saw Restraint of Press i'm EX.
tOrtiOnate Prices.

Washington, Feb. lit became
known today that the print paper
manufa cturers yielded in their oppo-
sition to the governments efforts to
restore normal prices and agreed to
to determine a fair scale only when
confronted with the alternative of per-
sonal action by President Wilson and a
special session of congress to pass
remedial legislation.
At President Wilson'S direction it
was said, Secretary McAdoo sum
moned one of the principal manufac-
turers who was acting as spokesman
for the others and informed him that
inasmuch as the government itself
was not permitted by the constitution
to impose prOhibitiVe restraint upon
the press the administration did not
intend to remain idle while an al
legged monopoly thru eXtOrtiOnate
prices for print paper effectually i'm
posed greater restraints than the gov
eminent might ever contemplate
To Guarantee Future Supply.
Mr.. McAdoo, it was said speaking
for the president, informed a repre-
sentative manufacturer that with
many daily newspapers of the United
States threatened with being forced to
close up a special session of congress
would be called if necessary to pass
legislation to restore prices and supply
to a normal level. AL the same time
the federal grand jury in New York
was preparing to bring indictments for
criminal prosecutions. The sequel
was the action of the manufacturers
yesterday N signing an agreement
permitting the trade commission II
fix fair prices.
1t is understood the administration
is going further and taking steps tC
guard against any shortage of supply
in the future. Thru the forest service
which already has been at work or
some phases of the problem, plans foI
re-forestation of wooded areas now
devastated for wood pulp are to be
worked out which are expected tC
furnish ample supplies for American
publishers in the future.
