Men; Three Judges
Dissent.

The. Supreme Court of the United

ton.
Decision Long Awaited.
The prosecution of the associa-
ton was begun by former Attor-
ney General Palmer during the
Wilson administration and the
upper courts decision has been
awaited for many months by Attor-
ney General Daugherty before de-
termining upon q policy with re-
spect to a large number of trade
associations, which, according TO
reports of the Federal trade COM
mission, have been exerting i'm
proper influence through joint ac-
tivities of their members.
Plans of the Department of Com
merce for enlarging its statistical
activities in cooperation with trade
associations also have been held in
aDeyanCe until Various Iekal poihAs
had been passed upon by the Su-
preme Court.

medical authorities of the institution
will install a free lunch system soon.
