Measure Applies to All
Articles, Present Act Only
to Those in Common Use

ALBANY, April 3.--Great interest
has been aroused in the Legislature by
the Mver-Martin bill amending the
Donnelly antitrust law and extending
the provisions of the latter measure
to such an extent that consumers of the
state are assured of proper, protection
against any monopolies which would
operate in restraint Of trade.
Senator Schuyler M. Mycr sponsored
the measure in the Senate. while Il
similar bill was introduced in the As
sembly by Assemblyman Martin. The
Judiciary Committee os the former
BODY has reported the bill back for
consideration, but no action has yet
been taken in the lower house.
Testimony Of witnesses at three pub
lie hearings here this session has
agreed that the Donnelly law is with
out the "teeth" necessary to make it
effective. 1t has been pointed out that
only articles in common use come un-
der the ramifications of this legisla-
ton, while great evils have been found
to exist where monopolies arc main
tanned and competition restrained ir

selves commodities of common use, &C
cording to the judicial Interpretation
Further. it has been shown that such
articles may and do enter into the pro
ducton Of articles Of common use.
Extends to All Products
In order that the law may be all
embracing in its protective provisions
the Myer- Martin measure extends j
to "any article or product used in th'
conduct Of trade, commerce or manu-
! facture."
One Of the industries to which FIRE

public hearings. as an illustration o
the impotency of the Donnelly law. wa
the photo-engraving industry, in whicl
the photo engraver's union fixes
minimum selling base for the en-
ployer to which the latter must strictl
adhere.
Among other revelations made b
testimony along this line was on
proving that it would be impossibl
for a photo engraving concern to sta
in business unless it followed tn
dictates Of its workers, and that II

that made it possible to prosecute the
leaders in that monopoly. A court de-
cision has held that photo-engrav-
ing is not an article or comm odity in
common use, therefore no move could
be made against the industry.
Another pact was discussed at the
hearings. 1t was that between the
Photo Engravcrs' Board of Trade (the
employers organization) and the
union. in which the employers agreed
to hire no workers excepting union
members and the workers reciprocated
by pledging themselves not to accept
employment with producers who were
not members of the board. 1t was an

Suffered Almost Daily

to testify to the remarkable recon-
structive powers of Tanlac. Mr.
Scott lives at 4425 North Griffen Ave.
His statement follows:

disagreeable feeling that would last
sometimes for hours. l never felt fit
for work, and was getting SO weak and
run down that was beginning to
wonder where it would end.
"But Tanlac just fit my case exact
ly, and feel so much better after
finishing the first bottle that 1 bought
