DENY HOLDING UP PRICES
Commission Ends Its open investlsa-
tIon-6risfs May Be Filed IN
Next Thirty Days

Washington.-The practice OF man
ufacturers' guarantee against price
decline was characterized as a good
form Of insurance" by representa-
tives of business interests employing
the device who appeared at the Ted
eral trade commission hearing. fhey
urged the commission TO follow q
hands-off policy and decide complaints
against the system on the merits oil
Individual cases.
The commission concluded its open
Investigation, although briefs may Dc
filed during the next thirty days.
Proponents Of the guarantee EN-
phaticaIly denied that it aided IN
maintaining high prices. On the con
trary, they declared, it had resulted
in an immediate passing on OF price
reductions by manufacturers to the
consumer. AS the manufacturer as
sumed the risk of losses, the dealer
was forced through the competition
to sell at his lowest figure, speakers
argued.
w. T. Nardin, St. Louis, declared,
that the evaporated milk Industry
which he represented, could not be
carried on effectively, due to the ma
ture of the product, without giving
the dealers such protection. He chal-
lenged tho statement that few guar
antors ever had paid or had been
called upon to pay refunds through
price reduction, citing cases where
refunds had run into thousands "and
even tens of thousands of dollars In
single years
Mr., Nardin said that had the guar
antee not been in operation many
commodities might have followed su-
gar in it's price collapse and brought
scores of substantial business" to
the verge of bankruptcy.
He believed the guarantee would
have prevented sugar prices from
having reached the peak" to when
they scared and would have prevent
ed a tumbling which certainly must
send a lot of people to the wal"
Some speakers said that every
body ought to take his own risk" Mr..
Nardin continued. They said each
dealer should accept his own report.
II object to that as being funda-
mentally wrong. Even when the title
has passed, l contend that the man
ufacturer still has an interest in his
goods and ought, if he is financially
able. still to assume the burden"
Speakers opposing the practice told
the commission that there was no
way to avoid the menace OF over
stocking by dealers who were certain
of sustaining no loss under the guar
Rntee.

Paris.-In commenting upon the
successes of the Poles and General
Wrangel against the Russian Soviet
troops, the opinion is expressed by
the French foreign office that the
condition of the Soviet governmaat has
not yet been so precarious as Il Is at
present.
The Soviet authorities, il Is de-
clared, have never been as ready as
now to make concessions. as Is shown
by its present eagerness to fnlnAl the
agreement entered into at Copenha-

repatriation of French citizens from
Russia. Previously great relactance9

MANY CHEERS ARE GIVEN
More Feeble OF Veterans Provided
With Automobiles In Parade
Through Houston Streets

Houston, Texas-The soldiers OF
the Confederacy have marched once
again, the final event OF their thir'
tieth annual reunion. held here.
There were not the countless thou
sands who tramped buoyantly to bat
tie more than half a century ago, but
enough to make an imposing column.
Imposing despite the grayed hair and
stopped shoulders of the marchers,
who made up in spirit what they lack
ed in physical strength and endru-
ance.
AS the lines were forming one griz-
zled veteran remarked to another:
well, we're not all dead yet"
mo: there's almost enough of us
left to whip the Germans" came the
retort.
And they feel that way.
Many of the veterans gave evidence
that determination to march again
with their wartime comrades alone
kent their footsteps from faltering and
hundreds finished the march on Will
mower rather than on physical en-
ergy Others were forced to drop out,
while still others were accompanied
during the march by sons, daughters
or boy scouts.
The line of march, less than two
miles in length, led through verita-
BILE lanes of colored bunting. the
stars and stripes noated from poles
and buildings ON either side and hung
from overhead, alongside the stars
and bars of the Confedaracy.
The marchers added their quota to
the color scheme with banners and
flags, many Of them battle-scarreo'
faded and bullet riddled.

ambulances, placed at intervals IN the
procession, took the veterans who were
forced to drop out of line to nearby

Several bands, including the Six

one from Summit, Miss, and drum
and bugle corps from Augusta, Ga.'

Washington.-The 1920 population OF
continental United States has been
announced by the census bureau as
los, 6S3, 10S. This was an increase OF
13,71U842, or 14.9 per cent, since 1910
This total does not include the pop
uIations of outlying possessions, which
will be announced as soon as the Zig
ures from Alaska and the military and

possessions have 12,250,00n fnhabit-

pie living under the United States
flag is, in round numbers. 11S,OOO,-
900.
The figures for continental United
States compare with 1875, 1855, ten
YEARS ago. and 75,994,575, twenty
years ago. The increase for the last
decade, however, fell 2,266,849, or 81
per cent, below that of the preceding
decade.
Director Rogers of the census bu-
reau in a formal statement attributed
this reduction to the almost complete
stoppage of immigration during the
world war, an increase in emigration
during the same period, deaths IN the
influenza epidemic of 1918 and war
casualties.
The statement noted that the trend
of population from the country to the
