Washington, October 5.-Partial re- sponsibility for continued high prices was laid today on the trade practice of manufacturers guarantee against price decline by those who protested against the custom at hearings before the fed eral trade commission.

Without exception opponents of the system declared their belief had been confirmed by break in commodities where it was not employed Trey cited the sugar and silk markets as typical.
 James A. Goldsmith of New York, rep resenting the Silk Association of America said the guarantee could be construed in no other light than as a means of main taining a generally high level of prices and mitigating against any reductions which would have followed natural opera ton of the law of supply and denand." :" Silk prices, he said, had declined 50 per cent fin the last six months, which would have been impossible had the

 MT Camp will probably be seen little by theatregoers in the future, for he has developed into a regular business man. He has long been known as a successful song writer and somewhat Of a playwright.
 Last year he invested his earnings rom those sources in seaside hotel at Rye N. Y, and did so well that when ms present contracts expire he will retlre from the stage to devote himself to the hotel business. His 245 pounds Of weight and expansive smile constitute an adver- tisement for his business that is too val uable to lose. even for the salary ne re ceives in musical comedy.

RAY HAS JOYOUS ROLE
 IN COLONIAL PICTURE

In the opinion of many of the most enthusiastic Ray fans, Charles Ray has
 never done anything better than 'Ho- liner Comes Home" showing at the Colonial. This play represents to many the very height of that particular
 small town style that has won so much admiration for the popular star "Ho- mer Comes Home had a splendid run when it was last here.
 Homer. who was a prophet without honor" in his own home town (so to |speak); that is, he had been invited or tolerated very few places in the small
 town and generally kicked about, fig |uratively speaking, where he was in- vited. But he proves that if the prophet will only leave home for two years and return to alight from spe- cial that only stops for important pas- sengers he will have glory beyond com
 pare. Few scenes on the screen have
 equaled in artistic comedy the street scene when Homer comes home. Ray,
 as Homer, gives a Joyous performance.

 T would say further he continued, that the guarantee against decline not only tends to hold up prices, but means that plants will be shut and industry stagnated in order that the guaranteeing manufacturer will not have to dig rnco his pocket and repay the wholesaler or other purchaser. The plants are shut down and the demand remains, So prices stay high
 What about holding up artificial prices, and would they have been reduced except for the price guarantees?" Mir. Murdock inquired.
 WOULD HAVE FALLEN
 "Unhesitatingly, I would say they " ould have fallen long ago" Mir. Gold smith replied T would not attempt to say to what extent the guarantee has maintained the prices, but it cer- tainly mas held them a much longer time than had the old law of supply and demand been permitted to operate
 Only two speakers defended the prac- tice. but their side of the question will be heard fully tomorrow. R. U. Della Ipeana, New York, representing the Ma ticnal Preserve and Fruit Products Association. voiced approval of the GUS to.n saying its benefits more than off, lSet any III eIIeCLS OtpISbVd bS NhS NP ronents of the practice
 l., Y. Boffey of the National Assocla- tion of Purchasing Agents, held that no legitimate attack could be made on the guarantee system on ethical grounds as the law established the right of a citizen to employ trade methods of any kind, 90 long as they did not tend to monopoly or disoriini nation. That the practice did tend to mopop- oly and discrimination was asserted by George b Mollvain of the Tin Plate Manufacturers Association. He argued that the guarantee given by the big" producers could moi be met in most cases by flittlr producers who were compelled either to sell out or close up practically tankrupt." T. D. Me- ICloskcy Of the National Association of Sheet and Tin Plate Manufacturers, took the same position.
 James Armstong. vf the bureau of re- Ila.ei industries, charged that the guar afltee custom encouraged speculation. caused over stribrg. stifling competi- tion and Invariably leads to rebating."

 The simultaneous building of the 1D Semet-Solvay ovens of the Sloss-Shef- field, the sixty Koppers ovens of the Alabama By-products and the additional 154 Koppers ovens of the T. c. I. at Fair field combined to attract national att tention to the strides Alabama has made in the by-product field. The total num- Der of by product ovens in Alabama now is In and they have combined annual coal consumption of 5000, GOO tons and a coke production capacity of 4,5oo,- 900 tons This by-product coke produc- ton will be greater than the entire bee hive and by product production of 1919.
