oispuTE OVER TRADE ASSOClA'
TIONS

controversy has arisen between
two men who have been instrumental

e,.r,r,;on ever revealed and exhibit

called building trade associations IN
cahoots with black-legs and ropplng
the public right and left. asks the
secretary of commerce TO dosist cham
ploning open price" associations. lie
says that while there are legal trade
associations there are still more OF
such organizations quoting high gov
ernment officials of both the late
Wilson administration and the pres
ent one in defense Of their practises.
He declares further, that there are
hundreds Of these criminal combina-
tions masquerading as trade associa-
tions engaged in interstate commerce
that ought TO be extefminated instead
OF being encouraged TO further ex-
ploltat!on Of the public"
"Mr. Untermyer's statement" Mr..
Hoover said, in making public his re-
ply. apparently arises from his over
sight of the word not in various
statements OF this department on its
economic views and relations to trade
associations. Far from eXtolling So
called open price associations the
Department has consistently stated
that IL cannot and does not approve
OF them on economic grounds. Whoth-
Or legal or illegal, they constitute less
than 10 percent OF tho trade associa-
tlons ~ the country. 1t is the func-
ton Of this department to deal with
tao ~ percent Of constructive ele-
ments in American commerce and in
dustry. while it is Mr.. Untermyer's
business TO deal with the minority Of
destructive clements"
II Is fervently to be hoped that two
men capable OF doing so much toward
cleaning up conditions disastrous to
business may be able to cooperate.
Such cooperation is needed, and
where there is such evidence of high
motive and demonstrated capacity
for getting good results as in the case
~ Ncesrs. Hoover and Untermyer,
common ground should be found for
them.

On the Highway

I often see travellers
On the Highway,
Signing and sobbing,
Wandering along with stumbling feet.
Their memories in pack upon their
shoulders
Bent double under the weight.
They are always looking forward
Into the past.
l am young; I have no memories.
In the light pack on my shoulders
You will find only dreams
Sun-splashed and wind-wafted.
They are so buoyant and so many in
number,
That often they lift me up, and away;
And it is so hard to touch the dust
again.
The fine, heavy white dust Of the road.
Once I asked a traveller
On the Highway
Why he staggered so under his pack Of
And where were his dreams?
And still signing and sobbing
And looking forward into the past,
He said

Miss Mccarthy seems to possess
the pen of ready writer and is a
versatile writer as we'll. One of the
first wcognitions of her ability as a
writer was when she was awarded a
certificate of merit for her compost

pupil in the fifth grade. During the

her two stories of how she made her
