CONVICTION OF
MA. CREAMERY
co. Is UPHELD
Decision Of Supreme Court
AffirmS COnstitutiOnality
of State Law

Cpholding the constitutionality of
the state law prohibiting descrimin.
alton in the price offered for cream
at various points in the state, the
supreme e0urt today upheld the
Stark county district court in find
ing the North American Creamery
company guilty Of violating the sta
tute.
The case is the first one Of the
kind to come to the supreme court
under the anti-discrimination law
and was designed to test the validity
Of the statute.
Evidence reviewed in the opinion
today shows that the North American
company was paying 38 cents a
pound for butterfat at Richardton
and Taylor, n. d.. l3 cents ut Glad
stone and ~ cents at Dickinson. The
state contended that this variation
in prices was contrary to law and
was made for the purpose Of prevent
ing the Dickinson Creamery company
from getting sufficient volume OF
buttcrfat to carry on its business.
Discrimination Shown
The court held that payment Of 43
cents at Gladstone was dscrimina-
ton against butterfat producers at
Taylor and Richardton in view of the
fact that the Dickinson company was
not represented at Gladstone. 1t held
that the price paid ut Gladstone was
intended to prevent the cream pro-
duced near there from being shipped
to Dickinson and that it was not
Legitimate competition under the
terms Of the law.
The constitutionality of the law.
was upheld on the ground that the
state has police power to regulate
business enterprises and methods Of
doing business for the public good.
The creamery company contended
that the law violated both the state
and federal constitutions.
Interpreting the meaning Of the
statute the court held that "the law
is aimed ut unfair discrimination
against locality and permits only
such discrimination as is caused By
actual and necessary cost of trans
portation in order to insure the same
terms to all localities where such
dealers as the defendant operated"
The case was brought by the dairy
division Of the state department of
agriculture and labor which contend
ed that continuation Of the practice
of paying high cream prices in the
vicinity of small local creamerics
would enable the large centralized
creameries to drive local. plants out
of business by forcing them to pay
prohibitive prices for cream. At
the same time, it was contended that
if discrimination were allowed the
large centralizers could unduly de-
press prices at points where they had
no competitors seeking to purchase
cream,

the war alarm was subsiding as rap

to prompt steps taken by the Paris.

there was further negotiation today.
1t was announced nothing would be
left undone to settle the question to
the satisfaction of all concerned, and
to find way to prevent recurrence
Of the trouble.
For the most part the diplomat ic
efforts are understood to be directed
toward satisfying Italy without hav-
ing to invoke the good offices of the
League Of Nations council. Italy de-
ciined to accept the authority of the
council in 1928 in the dispute with
Greece over the island of Corfu But
urgent summoning of the council
still remains possibility and the
powers interested will not hesitate to
do this should the situation show
further signs Of becoming aggravat-

Albania. Notwithstanding this
Italian newspapers continue to pub

seled the Belgrade government to
act with utmost caution. while it is

EFFORTS TO NEGOTIATE
COMMERCIAL TREATY FAIL

NaSnlngt0n, Marcn u lNy "A n
intimation that the United States
had been unsuccessful in efforts to
negotiate a commercial treaty with
Mexico was contained today in a
state department announcement that
the smuggling convention between
the two nations would be terminated
on March 90.
The department., in whose hands
has rested the long standing and
delicate situation involving American
property rights in Mexico, issued a
formal statement explaining that no.
tice Of termination Of the treaty had
been served on the Mexican govern.
ment last night by the American en-
bassy Mt Mexico City.
In the absence of commer rcial
treaty or other arrangements with
Mexico, safeguarding Americ n
commerce against possible discrimin-
ation," the statement said, the Wash
ington government did not deem it
advisable to continue the smuggling
convention, (which might in certain
contingencies bind the United States
to cooperation for enforcement Of
laws or DEGREES relating to the i'm
portation of commodities of all sorts
INTO anOtner country.
Bearing on Arms Embargo
The smuggling convention has a
direct bearing on the American en-
barge on arms shipments into Mex
leo. Under the convention, even If
the embargo were lifted, the United
State would be required to notify
Mexico Of impending shipments from
the United States of arms or any
other commodities prescribed from
importation under Mexican law.
Whether the recent secret cores
pondence with Mexico involved a re-
newed effort to negotiate COM
mercial treaty with that country to
protect American-owned property,
has not been disclosed.
Ambassador Teller has not visited
the state department since his hur-
ried trip to Mexico City to consult
President Gales. He sent q COM
munication to the department on
Saturday, however, and the state de-
partment last night notified the
Mexican foreign office that the
smuggling convention would cease to
be effective so far as the United
States is concerned March %, when
its original one year term expires.
With the convention off the books,
the Washington government would be
in q position to raise the embargo
on arms at any moment II it 50 de-
sired. There was no indication at
the state department early today,
however, that the embargo would be
raised for the present ut least.
