POOR CONVICT ACT
NOVELTY INVOKED
Prisoner Sentenced to 1870
Days Says 30-Day Term
Meets Law.

Carl 4. Smith, convicted in the
United States branch of Police Court
July 8 last for a first offense of trans
porting liquor and sentenced to ray
a fine of $500 or, in default. to serve
18O days, has applied to United States
Commissioner Needham c. Turnage
for his release from custody. Smith
has been in Jail 80 days and now In
vokes the provision of section 1042 OF
the Revised Statutes of the United
States, known as the poor convict
act.
Through Attorney w. Bissell
Thomas, the prisoner says he is not
able to pay the fine and having
served 80 days has met the require
ment of the poor convict act and Is
entitled to release. Assistant United
States Attorney Rover will oppose the
release of the prisoner, and hear
ing is set for Wednesday before the
commissioner.
Section .1O42 provides that where
the prisoner is sentenced in United
States court to pay fine with or
without Imprisonment, and is unable
to make payment after serving 30 days
Imprisonment he may apply to
United States Commissioner for his
release, and after a hearing, at which
the United States Attorney may be
present and offer objections, the COM
missioner may take an affidavit of
poverty from the prisoner and make
a certificate to that effect to the
jailer as authority for the release of
the prisoner.
The section has been frequently in
voked where a fine was added to the
term of the Imprisonment and the re-
lease given after an additional 80 days
of prison life, but the proposition of
applying it's provisions where an alter
native sentence has been passed is
novel one. The outcome of the case
will be watched with interest.
a decision in favor of the prisoner,
it is said. would limit punishment for
first offense of transporting or pos
session of liquor to 80 days in Jail be-
cause the law provides only for
fine and no matter how large the fine
an INDECENT transgressor would es-
cape it's payment by serving 80 days
and taking the proper oath.
The Government, it is expected, will
contend at the hearing that the act
does not apply in the case of the
alternative sentence and will argue
that Smith accepted Imprisonment of
1S0 days which was given in lieu of
the fine and that he is not now serv-
ing time for non-payment of fine.

from respondents correspondence
with its dealers and agents which
show that respondent established
uniform prices; that they insisted
upon an observance of these prices,
and that they refused further sales
to offendign dealers. The general
effect of respondents sales mainte-
nance plan, the findings state, is to
suppress competition in the sale of
its products in interstate commerce.
Among the practices prohibited by
the commission, and specifically recit-
ed in the order, are:
/. Inviting or soliciting directly or
through its agents or employees from
its dealer customers, reports or COM
munications, oral or written, concern
ing price cutting by retail dealers,
competitors of the dealers so report
ing or communicating.
2. Investigating through it's off,
GERS, agents or other employees, al
legged instances of price cutting by
retailers reported to it by it's custo-
mers.
3. Communicating with retailers
reported to it by its customers as
having sold its Holeproof products at
prices less than resale prices estab-
lished by the respondent, and threat
ening to refuse further goods to such
dealers.

HOLEPROOF
Hosiery Co. Ordered to Stop
Fixing Retail Prices

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-The Holeproof
Hosiery Company, of Milwaukee,
Wis, is ordered by the federal trade
commission to cease from carrying
into effect it's policy of procuring and
enforcing resale prices at retail upon
it's Holeproof products in the hands
of customers by cooperative methods,
in which the respondent and its dis
tributors undertake to prevent others
from obtaining Holeproof hosiery at
less than the designated prices.
Commissioner Humphrey dissented.
1t was found that the respondent
issues to it's dealers price lists and
requests that the prices so stated
shall be adhered to. The respondent
makes it known generally to the trade
that it requires all those handling
it's Holeproof products to maintain
the retail prices designated, and that
it will refuse further sales to all
dealers failing to abide by such prices.
The findings contain many excerpts
