Federal Trade Commission
Hands Off in This Case
BY Associated Press

Washington. February 1.-THE federal
trade commission said tonight that it
could neither approve or disapprove the
practice of manufacturers in guarantee
ing commodities in the hands of whole
salers against decline in price but would
handle each case Of complaint upon the
facts shown.
The commission said its decision was
reached after an executive inquiry into
the practice, adopted after the war by
some manufacturers to meet the objec-
tions Of wholesalers who feared to make
large purchases because of the probab-
was a difference of business opinion on
the subject

Il heartily approve the stand Cover
nor Kilby has taken with regard to the
strike, said L. G. Robinson. Public
sentiment should be aroused to the high
est pitch, for the coal strike affects the
public welfare in high degree. The min
ers should come to some sort of UNDER
standing with their employers for ev-
cry day the strike is prolonged means
more privations in their homes

FURTHER COMMENTS
ON KILBY'S STATEMENT

Additional individual comments on the
governors statement recently published
are as follows:
J. C. SMITH
1.-THE people are SO tired of this strike
that l am sure they are all more than
willing to get behind the governor, as
long as he is governor, and back him
to the limit
1--WE have the good God to thank for
this wonderfully mild weather we have
had, which has killed some of the de-
mand for coal otherwise the nation
would have been thrown into very bad
state indeed. Personally, I think Gov
ernor Kilby is right and I'm with him
to the finish. Every good citizen ought
to be.
Let US away with these things which
breed nothing but suffering and discon-
tent. Let us up with real, red-blooded
Americanism."

the murdered. his body dangling
through the iFap-hole, drew the

inches into the air and then shot
them out in forward motiea.
The wild expression over the face
of the youngster had been noted
By others in the gathering.
Standing nearby, on the inside OF
the ropes, was Sergeant Pietroff OF
the State police, who grabbed the
man when he was overcome,
hustled him into the jail cnrri-

cried 0ut "Oh. please don't lock

remarked that 1t probably was his

man stood al the foot Of the scat
