TRADE BOARD FIGHT
BREAKS OUT ANEW
Majority Publicly Defends Its
Dismissal of Complaint
Against Grocers.

The row within the Federal Trade
Commission over policies and proce-
dure, which has f1ared up frequently in
the last few months, has reached a
stage where the majority has begun
to issue answers to published dissent
ing views of the minority.
The new development was revealed
in a memorandum made public last
night by the majority in answer to the
dissenting opinion of the minority
with respect to the recent dismissal
of a complaint against the Michigan
Wholesale GrocerS' Association. The
complaint alleged the association had
attempted to coerce manufacturers
into making guarantees against price
decline and was dismissed on the
ground that the charges had not been
proved.
Dissenting opinions were issued by
Commissioners Nugent and Thompson.
who declared the issue in the case
was whether the commission must
wait until trade has already been re-
strained by an actual boycott before
it could act or whether it should for
bid a practice the intent and tendency
Of which is to create boycott and
thus restrain trade. The dissenting
opinion stated that the commission s
action would be taken by members of
other trade associations as indicating
nothing unfair or unlawful in attempt
ing to use their organizations as

signed by Commissioners Van Fleet,
Hunt and Humphrey, which declared
that fundamental law requires that
judgment must be based on the

if complaint is not proved, the case
must fail.

to be without proof.

The majority held 1t to be the
minority contention that the COM
mission should require the aSsocia-

something it never did. because in
the minority's opinion there was a

of the commission. the majority

it can issue such an order.

CENTER
Need Of Central Office Is
Stressed and Capital Fav-
ored As Location

The desis nation of Washington
as the national and international
center of the Young Mems, Chris
ton Association, with buildings
and equipment to make the local
association a model one for every
Y. NJ. c, A. branch in the world,
will be a matter commanding
much of the time and attention
of delegates assembled here for
the national council meeting of
the organization.
The plan, which has been on
foot for some months, will be put
before the delegates to the con-
vention, and indications are that
work toward that end will start
directly the convention is over.
Endorsed by Convention
The matter was brought up be-
fore the last meeting of the ma
tional council and was Endorsed by
that convention. A. G. Bookwalter,
executive secretary of the Eastern
region, was appointed to conduct
research on the matter to be
brought up at the 1925 meeting.
Bookwalter's report, ready for the
convention, advocates strongly the
full anRonfanan M M VN1on Nhhi0h
will make this city the official cen
ter of the organization, with equip
ment to function for the society
in all parts of the world.
William Knowles Cooper, general
secretary Of the Washington Y. M.
C. A. was interviewed this morn,
ing and he gave the following as
the needs of the city in fulfilling
the plan:
IF the plan is adopted, and
there is every reason to think 1t
will be-" said Secretary Cooper,
Washington will have first a new
central building. Whether that
will be a new one constructed en-
the site Of the present one at 1875
G street northwest, Or on other
property, Is yet to be decided. The
association owns $4,000 square feet
of property in that highly desirable
location, which was appraised for
us just a day or two ago as being
worth 100000.
There also will be a new build
ing at Walter Reed Hospital, and
a new building in the center of the
city for soldiers and marines, to re
place the structure now in use ct
1904 + street northwest.
Another building will be con
structed at Howard Hospital for
work among the colOred students
there and there is a likelihood that
the association will dispose of the
building at 1916 Twelfth street
and build new one there
for work among young colored men.

LEAGUE FORCES
VARS END IN
BALKANS
Greece WithdraWs Troops Be-
yond Own Border-BuIgars
Suffered Heavily
By HARRY X. REYNOLDS

LONDON, Oct. 27.-Greece and
Bulgaria have needed the twenty
four hour ultimatum of the
league council to end hostilities
and withdraw their troops peace
fully.
Staff officers of the Greek and
Bulgariap forces will meet at
Demirkapu at 4 o'clock this after
noon to re-establish frontier
guards. The Greeks will then
withdraw as rapidly as possible
and the Bulgars will make no ad-
vance.
British, French and Italian
military attaches are already pro-
ceeding in the Greco-Bulgarian
frontier to conduct an inquiry on
behalf of the League of Nations
Council, the foreign office an
nounced.
Further Outbreaks Unlikely
These definite announcements
were given out from the Greek
legation here today.
Nightfall will lsee the evacuation
under way. The possibility of
further outbreak was minimized by
the agreement Of the Bulgars not
to occupy the territory vacated by
the Greeks until the Greeks have
progressed beyond the frontier and
into their own territory.
Indications today were that the
zone of trouble was quiet, with
small possibility of further out
breaks to complicate the problem
OF the league council, now in ses-
sion in Paris to determine the
origin of the border fighting and
the best means Of making peacs
secure in that section of the Bal
kans.
Suffering BY Refugees
Reports from Vienna last night
were the Greeks had extended their
front, but it was believed that such
activity, if accurately reported.
would end with the announced in
tention of a peaceful retirement.
Dispatches from Bulgaria told of
pitiable conditions obtaining among
the Bulgars who had been forced to
flee from their homes during the
border trouble.
Refugees from Petritch and from
nearby towns which were under
Greek artillery fire were camped
in the open.
