COMMISSION BANS
TRADE TERM Use
Three Companies Ordered to
Desist From Specifying
philippine Mahogany"

Orders were issued by the Federal
Trade Commission today against three
companies, instructing them to desist
from using the words philippine ma
hogany" as applied to u wood which
is not genuine mahogany "as is gen.
orally understood by dealers and the
purchasing public.
The companies are the Indiana
CHARTERED Oak Co. of New York, Jones
Hardwood Co., San Francisco, and
Thomas w. Powe and F. c.. Harring-
ton, trading as the Thomas Z. Powe
Lumber Co. of st. Louis. Commits
stoner Humphrey dissented from the
orders.
The commission held the wood ad-
vertised and sold by all the respondents
as mahogany is imported from the
Philippines, the common trade name
being lauan and tangible.
Wood Declared More Porous.
ut was further found" the ruling
said, that the wood Philippine ma
hogany' is much more porous than
genuine mahogany. and that in flush
ing the Philippine product the appear
ance OF genuine mahogany is Simu
lated, but that with time and wear
the filling shrinks into the pores and
consequently presents a much inferior
appearance after a lapse of time than
does the genuine mahogany"
Commissioner Humphrey said he
agreed that the word mahogany"
should not be used in describing the
wood from the Philippines without
the prefix, philippine" This would
be in accordance with the common
usage, he said, as in the trade it is
customary to say African mahog-
any," Honduras mahogany" etc.
If the majority is consistent" he
said, 'it appears to me that it will
at once proceed against the Ma
hogany Association for using the
term African mahogany as this
wood, like the Philippine product, is
not mahogany botanically."
Sees Blow at Competitor.
The real milk in the cocoanut,"
ne said, was the Philippine mahog-
any was coming into the United
States duty free and was becoming
serious competitor of the Mahogany
Association, which, he said, was the
only objector to use Of the descrip-
ton. The order, he said, would tend
TO give the association a monopoly on
the American mahogany market. He
held that in its higher grades Philip
pine mahogany is equal in beauty to
the finest of other mahogany woods.
The majority, on the other hand,
declared "the absence of certain
characteristics possessed by genuine
mahogany prevents lauan and tan
guile from being used because of the
great prevalence of worm holes
which constitute serious effects in
all Philippine woods" for a number
of purposes where mahogany is de-
sired.

Under the present law, he pointed
out. the owners of this medicinal
liquor have a comparatively small
legal market. While many handlers
of this liquor, he said, have undoubt-

there have been some unscrupulOus

liquor had found it's way into bakeries
for use in mince pie, Gen. Andrews
said. Many permitees had been using
