FORCE OF new Law
Aliens Serving U. S. Will Be Citizens
Without Delay.

Legislation rewarding aliens who
side with the United States. and re-
stricting those who remain under sus-
picion was approved by the House
yesterday.
Final action was taken on the Sa-
bath naturalization bill, which per-
mits the government TO waive ordi-
nary laws to make a citizen out of an
alien who enlists in the army or navy.
Upon proper recommendations, and
after going successfully through spec
flied safeguards, such an alien may
become a full-fledged American with
out delay.
Adoption OF the conference report
on this measure which has been the
subject of warm dispute between the
two houses, was unanimous.
Under present laws. an Alsatian,
Bohemian, German or Pole who en-
listed might, If captured. be shot as
spy by Germany or Austria.
Closer watch over the coming and
going of persons suspected as spies is
provided in another bill which the
House all but finished. Republican
leaders promised it their support

Federal Trade Commission
RAes on Subject Affect
ing Cut Price Stores.

The Federal Trade Commission
Yesterday dealt . body blow at the
practice Of certain manufacturers
In nzing the resale prices OF their
gods. 49,
In its first formal finding to this
effect the commission announced II
would issue complaints against all
business concerns who refuse TO sell
unless the purchaser will agree to
maintain a resale price hxed by the
seller.
Based on Complaint.
The case before the eommission
was a complaint against Chester
Kent & Co, of Boston This arm
which manufacturers proprietary
medicines, was ordered to cease
and desist" from the practice Of nx-
ing the resale price of its products
Furthermore, the commission for
bade the company from:
Indicating to dealers the price:
for which its proprietary or patent
medicines shall be resold.
Securing agreements from dealer:

AFTER full consideration" say
the announcement of the commission
st has been decided to issue com
plants against all business concerns
who refuse to sell unless the pur
chaser will agree to maintain a re
sale price
when once an article has passed
from the maker to the purchaser, III
owns 1t, and the owner Of such ar
ticle may sell it at any price tina
he chooses provided he does not him
self sell 1t at such price as to be be
low cost, and thus thereby enter int
unfair competition with other retail
ers selling the same article.
This decision is going to be opel
to considerable controversy in rela
ton to the subject matter thereof
and the matter will probably have t
be settled by an act of Congress II
the manner suggested by Mr.. Justic
Brandsis. 1t may be that resal
prices can be so regulated by plac
ing the power somewhere protectin
against unfair prices as to make
work equitably. and be a fair metho'
OF competition in commerce. but tha
question will undoubtedly have t
be settled by Congressional action.
