Archbishop Hayes Blamcs
Public for Racy Plays
Addressing Catholic Actors
Guild, PreIase Il Inclined to
AhsOlYc HE Perfor,r,nrs

A luncheon, at which Archbishop
Hayes was the CHIEF guest. marked the
close yesterday of the eighth year Of
the existence of the Catholic Actors
Guild. About 1000 persons filled the
grand ballroom Of the Hotel Commo-
dore, among them many eminent
churchmen as we'll as actors
The afterluncheon talk contered
principally about the actors responsi-
bility for the moral status of the
stage. Archbishop Hayes was disposed
to absolve the actor from RESPONSE
bility for the plays of questionable
character in which ne might appear.
For that, in the final analysis, he said
the public must be blamed, not the
actor. Wilton Lackaye displayed a
greater severity toward the actor who
appeared in such productions.
Among those present were: George
M. Cohan, Lee Shubert, William A.
Brady, William Collier, Laurette Tay-
lor, Ruth Donelly, Helen Lackaye,
Mary Nash, De Wolf Hopper, Taylor
Holmes, Monsigneur Joseph P. Dinecn,
and the Rev. Stephen Z. Donohue.

WASHINGTON, April 24.--At a con-
ference to-day, attended by National
Chairman John T. Adams, Treasurer
Fred Upham and National Committee-
man Charles D. Hilles, of New York,
plans we're discussed for meeting the
deficit of the Republican National Com
mittee, left over from the 1920 cam
paign. Plans for the coming Con-
gressional campaign also were consid-
cred.
The deficit soon will be wiped out
according to Chairman Adams, and it
is the expectation that the funds
needed for the Congressional cam
paign will be raised without any un-
usual difficulty. The detailed plans
were not given out, but it was said
that the policy would be adhered to Of
obtaining contributions from the rank
and file of the Republican voters.
The campaign of 1920 ended with q
deficit of $1,6S5,000. Considerable
money has been expended for various
campaign and organization expenses
since then, and at the same time the
deficit has been reduced to approxi-
mately $5O0,000.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Labels or
brands under which articles are sold,
when open to construction in the mind
OF the purchasing public that they de-
scribe the component ingredients or
materials used in the manufacture Of
the artcIcs, must clearly and definite
~ describe them, the Supreme Court
to-day held in an opinion delivered
by Justice Brandeis in a case brought
by tho Federal Trade Commission
against the Winsted Hosiery Company
of Connecticut. Justice McReynolds
dsscntcd
The opinion of the court. while CON
hned to the particular issues present
ed Will, 1t Is said, have material ef-
rect IN broadening the jurisdiction Of
the Federal Trade Commission in such
trade practices. Chairman Gaskill of
the commission described the decision
as a great victory.
Exploinlng that the Winstcd Com
pany Tor many years had manufac-
turod underwear for the retail trade
bearing the brands 'Natural Merno,"
Gray WOOL "Natural Wool" "Nat-
ural Worsted,' or Australian Wool, ="
justice Brandeis declared. "none Of
TINS underwear is all WOOL" but "much
or 1t contains only n small percentage
OF "ooi' some as Ittre os 10 per cent"
Labels Held Deceptive
IN thus connection he said that while
the Winsted Company labels. particu-
larly that bearing the word "Nlerino"
had Ions, been used in the trade, the
court could not accept the contention
that they were generally understood
as indicating goods partly of cotton.
lie sald the practice was "unsound,"
asserting that the labels in question
were "Itcrally false" and except those
when bear the word "Merino" were
"palpably So All were calculated to
deceive, and do in fact deceive a sub
stantia portion of the purchasing pub
lie
Defining the words used upon the
labels Of the company, Justice Bran
dols said: "A substantial part of the
consuming public, and also some buy
ers for retailers and sales people, un -
derstand the words Xxx as Sapplicd
to underwear to mean that the Under
wear is all wool" BY means of the
labels and brands part of the pub
lie Is mlslod into selling or into buy

cd. declaring that the practice tended
"to aid and encourage tho representa-
tons Of INSCRIPTIONS retailers and
their salcsmen, vino knowingly soil to
their customers as all WOOL underwear
which is largely composed Of cotton.'
'When misbranded goods attract
customers by means Of the fraud
which thoy perpetratc, trade is di-
vcrted from the producer of truthfully
marked goods the Justice stated, and
the fact that "honest manufacturcrs
might protect their trade by also re-
sorting to deceptive labels" was no
defense for such practices.

stolen gas was stopped for a week or
two.
But when it was resumed" Mr..
Mattuck said, 'it was on much
greater scale, and it was then that the
infantry captain became party to
the frauds, which. through an ex-army
lieutenant working as a claim agent
for an autom obile insurance company,
were extended to the theft of new

upon tho twin ideas of granting equal

acting equal treatment for the com

markets."
Section 3o2 Of tho House bill which
the Finance Committee has stricken
out, is Objectionable, in tho opinion of
Senator Smoot. He dwelt at length on
the reasons for the rejection of this
section, which authorizes the President
to impose penalty duties on specific
products Of a country which imposes

similar products of the United States
which the President may deem to be
