BRINGS SUIT TO RESTRAIN
FEDERAL TRADE BOARD
Coal Concern Questions Right Of
Commission to Order Monthly
Cost Reports.

Restraint Of the Federal Trade
Commission from asking monthly re-
ports on the cost of production from
coal mining companies was sought IN
a suit filed in the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia today by the
Maynard Coal Company, OF Column
bus, Ohio. This suit is one of a
number which the National Coal AS
ISOLATION expects to have filed for the
purpose of determining the extent to
which the Federal Trade Commission
has authority to require corporations
engaged in private business to fur
nish information.
The suit filed today complains that
the commission is exceeding the au-
thority given 1t under the Federal
Trade Commission act, and further.
that il the act does confer such au-
thority. it is unconstitutional. The
claim is also made that the President
in his executive order of July .. 1913,
transferred to the Fuel Administra-
ton the power of the commiss on TO
ask for Information on the cost ~

CONVENTION HALL
ADVOCATEDF0 DC.
Chamber Of Commerce Urges
Building to Make Washing
ton Foremost City.

Declaring that Washington is In a
position TO become the greatest con-
vention city In the United States
III adequate meeting facilities are
established, President Robert N. Hsr-
per, OF the Chamber OF Commerce, at
a regular monthly meeting OF the
Chamber, urged that business men
OF Washington unite toward the
erection of a large convention hall
In this city.
There 10 a great necessity OF some
concerted action" said Mr.. Harper,
"by which this city will have a re-
spectacle hall TO house the many or
gsnizations that are coming here for
their national conventions. Some OF
the conventions that are coming here
this year win require larger quarters
than we now have.
Can Defy Comp tition.
when we do get such a hall, no
to compete with US in the matter OF
attracting conventions"
A. e. Seymour, secretary OF the
Chamber OF Commerce. said between
thirty and thirty-five national conven-
tions would be held in Washington
during the present year, among which
would be the Southern Baptist con-
vention, the World Brotherhood Fed
GRAFTON. the Veterans OF Foreign
Wars. and theh American Bankers
Association.
He said the National Educational
Association, which anticipated bring
ing from 5000 to 5000 visitors here
the third week of February, 1921,
would not be able to do so on ac-
count of the inability of the city to
care for these delegates and the in
auguration visitors at the same time.
Many associations want to come to
Washington for their annual conven-
ton, Mr.. Seymour explained. because
they are more and more seeing the
advantage OF locating their. national
headquarters here. A number of re-
.uests have come to the Chamber OF
commerce, IL was said, asking that
associations be allowed to have their
conventions in the National Capital.
Must Aid Europe.
Congressman Henry T. Rainey, of
Illinois. speaking before the chamber
last night, declared that an unprece-
denied wave OF materisiism had
! swept over this country. and that
people all over the country had fallen
into the erroneous habit of measuring
production in dollars.
I'VE can produce all that we need
in any year in seven months of tina 4
year said Congressman Rainey, "and
1t Is up to us to produce during the
remaining five months to exchange
our products with the nations of the
world. We must continue our aid for
