And Essex Holds the Worlds
5O-Hour Endurance Record

An Essex stock chassis set the worlds so
hour endurance record of 3037 miles. That is Of
ficially certified by the American Automobile AS
ISOLATION And Essex holds the worlds
mark of 1861 road miles in "a hours. A stock
touring car did that. sss
Local road, speedway and hill-cmbing
records in every section of the country are
held by Essex Scores of abusive tests have
proved the endurance that 10000 owners find
in the daily service of their Essex.
But it is not only in performance that Essex
shows the same stamp of quality as Hudson.
Its beauty of line, its luxury of appointment are
the work of years of leadership in coach design.
See the care and completeness even in the
smallest details It's riding comfort, its smooth,
quiet running ease, with the suggestion Of well
contained reserve power, are qualities com
parable to the finest of high-prced cars.

Dla ruled yesterday that the Federal
Trade Commission was without az. -.

from coal mine companies and other
industries.

Maynard Coal company of Keptuckv
and Ohio for an Injunction to restrain
the commission from proceeding IN

every day of failure to report. Justice
Bailey declared that the powers me
commission sought were vast and un.
precedented," and beyond the province
of Congress to convey.
The courts decision affects virtual.
ly every mining and manufacturing
company in the country, 1t was said
today by corporation lawyers. The or
der calling for reports was issued by
the commission in January.
Justice Bailey held that II the bust
ness of the concern from which pro-
duction cost reports we're demanded
was entirely In interstate commerce,
the commissions claim of authority
might be valid, but that in the May
nard case the commission obviously
was demanding information from a
company whose business was both In
ira and interstate,
The power of Congress is limited
to that part of the business OF which

National Coal Association declared in
a statement that the decision was far
reaching.
