Men Say.

antee practice been unknown, was
brought out in answer to ques-
tions by Chairman Murdock.
Without exception opponents Of
the system declared their be-
lief had been confirmed by breaks in
commodities whore the practice is not
employed. They cited the sugar and
silk market as typical.
James A. Goldsmith of New York
repres antfng the Silk Association Of

against any reduction which would
