SUPREME COURT
HOLDS METHODS
Of PACKING CO.
To BE ILLEGAL
Trade Policies Of The
Beechnut Company Are
Unfair Methods of Com
petition Says Decision

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-Lawfu
trade methods were further defined
today by the supreme court in de-
cision holding that the trade methods
and policies of the Beechnut Packing
company in obtaining cooperation OF
its distributors and customers to be
unfair methods of competition" with
in the meaning of the federal trade
commission act.
In upholding the right Of the federal
trade commission to order discon-
tinuance of such methods, the court
divided five and tour. justice Lay
delivered The opinion of the court and
Justices Holmes, McKenna, McReyn-
olds and Brandeis dissented. The de-
cision reverses the lower courts.
II the Beechnut system Of mer-
chandising is against public policy
because of its dangerous tendency
to hinder competition or to create
monopoly" the court maintained, 1T
was within the power of the COM
mission to make an order forbidding
its continuation"
Three trade method cases previous
ly decided by the supreme court,
which were brought under the Sher-
man antitrust law and not under the
federal trade commission act as was
the Beechnut, settled, the court stated
today, that in prosecutions under
the Sherman act a trader is not guilty
of violating its terms who simply re-
fuses to sell to others, and he may
withhold his goods from those who
will not sell them at the prices he
fixes for the resale.
"He may not go beyond the exer-
else of this right" 1t added, "and by
contract or combination, expressed or
Implied, unduly hinder or obstruct the
free and natural flow of commerce
in the channels of interstate trade"
In the Beechnut case the court
stated that the facts found show that
the Beechnut system goes beyond the
simple refusal to sell goods to per-
sons who will not sell at stated prices
which the Colgate case was held to
be within the legal right of the pro-
ducer." The Sherman act was not
involved except as "a declaration of
public policy to be considered in de-
termining what are unfair methods Of
Wl4iNL lAlC LCNANA oA NASN'~
commission is empowered to con-
denim and suppress"
Analysing the federal trade COM
mission act the court asserted con-
gress deemed It better to leave the
subject of what constitutes unfair
methods of competition denounced by
the act without specific definition,
each case to be determined on its own
facts by the commission, subject to
review by the courts.
The methods and plan Of the
Beechnut company in its trade policy
were described by the court, which
asserted that the concern refused to
sell its products to practically all
jobbers wholesalers and retailers who
do not sell at prices it suggests or
who resell to other jobbers, wholesal-
ers and retailers who have failed to
resell at prices suggested by it. Fur
ther, they refused to sell to practically
all mail order houses engaged in in
terstate commerce, because they fire.
quently sell at cut prices and had
refused to sell to practically all job
bers. wholesalers and retailers who
sell its products to mail order houses.

boiling and now was full OF steaming
soup. So,
Without word, when the little men
stopped their dancing and SINGING, they
climbed about his legs and body and
pulled him down to the ground. Ivan
was surprised to find they were very
strong little creatures.
Around the pot they sat and from
out of their coat pockets each little man
drew a tiny cup and, running to the
pot, they climbed up the sticks which
held it over the fire and dipped into the
steaming soup.
When all had filed their cups they,
placed them carefully on the ground
and all of them then ran up the sticks
and, lifting off the iron pot, they brought
it to where Ivan sat and placed 1t be
fore him and made q low bow, sweeping
their little arms at their sides as they
did so.

from somewhere, Ivan never knew
where they found it, the other little men
brought big wooden spoon and soon
they were all eagerly eating. Then
when all had finished their soup the

from the ground and said to Ivan: The

WHO IS THIS STRIKING MAN

For two seconds, which seemed to
me- NO many hours, after had climbed

stopped, kissed me with rough tender,
ness gave me little shake, released
me, and turned back to the wheel.
s'You little devil!" he said, and the
familiar phrase which on Dicky's lips
becou,cs an cndcaring one, told me more
plainly than anything else could have
done that the last trace OF his anger had
vanished. 'What you really need is a
