Painter Not to Blame;
AdulteratiOn of Paint
Results Unsatisfactory

LAFAYETTE, Ind.-The public is be
ing many times fooled by some clever
compounders of feady-miXed paint
through the adulteration with linseed
oil substitutes which are so elevery
camoufaged that even the most eN-
pert painter at times can be victim.

by unscfupulous puryeyors and which
Is but a semblance Of the quality for
which the property owner has paid a
good price and Is entitled TO high
grade material.
The astounding and reliable infor-
nation has been handed to the Paint
er and Decorator (the Official Journal

that 300 tank cars 100000 pounds

linseed oil under the present tariff.

7l2 pounds to the gallon there were
2.400,0OO gallons Of spurious oil

Mention was made editorally In the
April issue of the Painter and Dec
orator that the United States Tariff
Commission had recommended 20
President Coolidge that the tariff on
linseed oil be reduced but up to this
time. no report Of action in the pre-

October 12-Serenely confident that

They were accorded the usual honor
upon entering their box. both teams
lining up before them while the United

After threatening rain all morning,
the cloud banks that had hung low
over Washington dissolved just half
an hour before Chief Umpire Rigler
commanded the feud to get under
way. The sun shone through, and
for the first time since this world Sc
ries moved to the National Capital the
temperature was really comfortable.
Overcoats and furs, however, were
still the official fan garb.
The crowds were slow arriving at
the ball park. AS late as l o'clock
only handful of fans were scattered
through the stands and at field pa
vilion. Then the flood began and for
the next hour the turnstiles played
merry symphony of great riches as

GOVERNMENT LOSES
TRADE CASE APPEAL
Supreme Court Upholds Legality of
Flooring and Cement Con-
Germs Methods.
By the Associated Press.


The Government lost in the Supreme
Court today in its efforts to reopen the
trade association cases.
These cases were decided at the last
session in favor Of the Maple Flooring
and the Cement Manufacturers AS
and exchanging trade information was
attacked unsuccessfully by the Gov
ernment as constituting unfair busi-
ness methods.
BY the courts refusal to reopen the
cases, questions Of tremendous i'm
portance to organized industry
throughout the Nation, particularly
the right of trade associations to
gather and distribute statistical in
formation, are finally decided, and the
hard-fought litigation is ended.
John w. Davis, Democratic presi-
Dental candidate of 1924, who con-
Quoted the case for the cement manu-
facturers, said, after the courts ac-
ton today:
cot all the charges made, the lower
court disapproved only Of the ex-
change of statistics which it thought
permitted control of production and
so affected prices. Its decree was
based on that conclusion. The Su-
preme Court reversed this opinion
by recognizing that statistical knowl-
edge is a legitimate part of an in
duStry'S economic existence.
Thus the cement industry, after
years of unjustif1ed charges, is free
of Illegal intent"

American League were at first and
third base, respectively.
Bluege was on the starting end of
a sparkling double play that retired
the Pirates in the second inning. He
came in fast to pick up Aldridge's
grounder and whipped the ball to
Bucky Harris to head off Smith. who
had singled. Harris relayed to Judge
we'll ahead of the batter.
At 2:04 Coveleskie made his first
pitch to Moore and the game was
under way.
Goslin and Bucky Harris did some
snappy fielding to get Covey out of
trouble in the first inning. With two
on and one out, Goslin backed against
the left field bleacher wall to drag
down Barnhart's liner. After Tray
nor walked to fill the bases, Bucky
shared Wright's grounder that bound

THIRD INNING.

THIRD INNING.
PITTSBURGH M oore rolled to
Bluege after taking a strike. Covey
was unable to locate the plate for
Carey, who walked on four pitched
balls. Cuyler took one ball, missed two
swings, and, after Covey tried twice
to catch Carey off first, fouled one
into the right-tield stands. He did this
again after getting another ball. And
on the next ball Carey stole second.
Ruel'S throw struck Carey just as he
crashed nto Stan Harris, the ball
bounding into center field. Carey was
hurt by the impact and layed prone on
the ground as players from both clubs
rushed to his assistance. Max was on
his feet in short order and, after rub
bing his right shoulder, resumed play.
Cuyler fouled another, and then re-
ceived his base on balls. Barnhart had
one ball when he stepped into a fast
delivery and singled sharply to left,
scoring Carey with the run that knot
ted the count, and sent Cuyler to
third. Zachary and Marberry both
were busy warming up at the bull
pen at this point. In an attempted
double steal Ruel threw to Harris, who
headed off Barnhart at second, then
fired to Bluege too late to nip Cuyler
off third, Barnhart reaching second
and being credited with a stolen base
Traynor then lined deep to Rice in
center, Cuyler scoring after the CATCH
Rice's throw holding Barnhart at sec
ond. With one strike on him Wright
rolled to Peck, who tagged him at
first. Two runs.
WASHINGTON-Th Pirates were
hitting Covey rather freely and his
Indifferent control made it seem un-
likely that he could go the route.
President Coolidge, with official ap-
pointments to keep, left his box at this
juncture. Stan Harris had one ball
and one strike when he bunted to his
death by the Aldridge- McInnis route.
GoSlin rolled to Moore on the first ball
pitched. The latter thinking three were
out, started for the bench. but re-
sumed his position when the mistake
was discovered. Judge waited out the
full string before flying to Cuyler. No
runs.
