WILL APPEAL FROM
COURTS DECISION
Held That Federal Trade Com
mission Had Exceeded It's
Vested Authority.
(sy GEORGE H.. MANNINo)

WASHINGTON, d. C., Nov. 9-The
Federal Trade Commission has decided
to appeal from the decision of the u s.
Circuit Court at Richmond. Va. which
held a week ago that the commission
exceeded its authority in attempting 70
break up the practice of ship chambers
in giving gratuities to ship captains,
mates, stewards, etc, as an inducement
to them to give them their trade.
The commission viii within few days
ask the Supreme Court OF the United
States for a writ Of certiorari.
The decision of the U. S. Circuit Court
at Richmond was rendered in the case
of the commission against the Norden
Shir Supply Company Of Norfolk. the
court holding that the company in its
sales to ships was not engaging in inter
state or foreign commerce and was
therefore not within the jurisdiction OF
the Federal Trade Commission.
This case involves the Efforts Of the
Federal Trade Commission, aided By the
civic and commercial organizations at
Norfolk. Newport News, Pensacola, New
orleans. Jacksonville. Galveston and
other ports. to put a stop to the old
custom Of ship chambers giving gratui-
ties to officers of ships who trade with
them.

in a General Way.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-While the
delegates of the powers were quietly
at work today perfecting their plans
for the armament conference, cheer
| Ing assurance Of support for the pur-
poses OF the negotiation reached
Washington from two important quar-
ters of the old world.
David Lloyd George the British
premier in message expressing regret
that he could not attend the opening
session on Saturday, declared the
heart OF Great Britain was deeply set
up ON the success of the conference
and promised the diligent efforts Of the
United Kindom toward solution OF
the problem Of armaments.
At the same time it became known
through unofficial channels that Pope
Benedict had given his approval TO
the purposes set for the conference
and might pronounce the official sane
tion of the Holy See at the Consistory
of November 81. He has prepared to
maintain close contact with the nego-
tiations as they develop.
The certainty of support by two such
powerful forces struck a note of en-
.couragement in all the delegations as
they conferred among themselves on
the work ahead. Tor the most part
these conferences produced no surface
developments of Importance, although
they brought together for the first
time the full membership of the Amer
ican delegation and its advisory COM
nittee and gave the representatives
OF the other powers. occupied hitherto
with succession of ceremonial visits,
a breathing space in which to review
their plans in the light of their ex-
periences on American soil
The meeting of the American big
four and the advisory committee of
twenty one was little more than a pre-
liminary get-together. The policies to
be fostered by this government In the
conference were laid before the COM
mittee members only in the most gem
eral way, details of the naval reduc-
tion program worked out by the dele
gates being withheld until perma-
nent committee organization is eff
fected.

them only to what strictly was necessary
for the domestic maintenance of publie

At the same time Cardinal Gasparri
gave to the Associated Press, a state

state further explained the Pope's plan
and his belief that only disarmament
could assure desirable peace based upon
principles of Justice Cardinal Gasparri
still believes one of the chief reforms to
that end is the abolition of conscription.

conscription the Cardinal pointed out and
he argues that with conscription abol-

materially impossible in Europe, and
arbitration would necessarily take its
place.

MAY ASK PRESIDENT
TO ACT AS MEDIATOR
Likely to Be Called Upon to
Settle Dispute in Tax Re
vision Measure.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-President
Harding may be asked to act again as
mediator in the tax revision fight.
This is the view of democratic lead
ers in the house, who point to the wide
split in the republican ranks in both
the house and senate on the income
surtax provision in the tax measure.
The democrats say that the majority
leaders in both houses are opposed to
the senate amendment with it's maxi
mum rate of so per cent but are faced
with the possibility of its final enact :
ment through a coalition of "insurgent"
republicans and the solid democratic
minorities.
Representative Dickinson of Iowa
and other leaders Of the 'insur gent
republicans in the house believed they
have sufficient votes. with the aid of
the solid minority, to force acceptance
of the senate surtax rates. They have
agreed, however, to defer the fight in
the house until after the conferees get
under way their work of rewriting the
tax bill
Under the agreement S outlined to-
day by both sides. the bill will be sent
to conference tomorrow without IN
structions to the house managers, but
