Bx Associated Press

Washington, June 14.-Concluding
 oral argument in the case of the Southern Hardware Jobbers assoc:a- tion, charged with the use of the boycott and conspiracy in restraint of trade were heard today by the federal trade commission. The case has been bitterly fought on both
 sides and has been on the acommis-
 sion's docket for more than year. Decision was reserved
 Although c. M. Neff, commission counsel, produced what he described as conclusive proof that members or
 the association had sought to influ- ence all hardware manufacturers as well as members of the association
 to join in an alleged conspiracy, F. 10. Knight of Tampa, Fla, for the as

 asserted that the whole case sim mered down to the question of wheth- CT any merchant could not DICK out his own customers. No law, he con-

 The case grew out of complaint by the Merchants Cooperative asso~ citation and the American Purchas- ing company of Atlanta, joint con cern in which many retail nard- ware dealers were allied for the pur- chase of their stocks from manufac- turers. The government clain was that members of the jobbers associa- tion had attempted. to refuse to sell

At this point Senator Underwood as If to give the Mississippi senator a cue. inquired as 10 whether or not the passage of the farmers tariff had alleviated the farmers garden. Senator Harrise n replied with the statement that the farmers plight was so serious that the senators from the south and west had formed an alliance to render assistance. and the administration had not only pu, Into operation all the fiscal agencies Of the government. but had invited Wall street bankers including Pier pont Morgan, to aid in uplifting the dow trodden.
