On Trade Label Use

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Manu-
facturers are required to use trade
names and labels which will convey
to the purchasing public an accurate
description of the materials or in
gradients composing their products,
the supreme court today decided in a
case brought by the federal trade
commission against the Winsted

Justice Brandeis, in delivering the
opinion of the court, upheld the au-
thority of the trade commission to
issue an order to the company to
desist from certain practices, typical
of the trade, particularly it's label
"Merino." as used in connection with
knit goods, on grounds that they
constituted unfair competition. JUS
