These homely Illustrations are
typical OF an economic movement

Competition has become so Sc

come so keen the pressure for
volume has become so great that
we witness widespread poaching
BY certain lines OF business into
other lines.
The tobacco store often today
sells corrections, razOrs and q
variety of other goods not con-
nected with tobacco. The up-to-
date drug shop OF magnitude ear
ries almost as many different
items as q department store. You
find butchers furnishing vege-
tables as we'll ais fish. Grocers
carry anything and everything In
which they see a possible penny
OF profit. 1T Is not unusual today
for BARRIERS to sell tobacco, candies
and d varied assortment Of knick-
knacks.
This invading of the other fell

retail merchandisin by any means.
Overlapping competition is quite
as intense in basic manufacturing
industries. Indeed, ir1terindustrial
competition has threatened the

Also. inroads are being made as

TONSCOURT
FINES NAN

For the third time in the thirty
years OF it's history, the United
states Customs Court has punished
an offender for contempt, The rare
proceedings were taken against NJ.
w. Davis, custom broken, in the
Second Division OF the Customs
Court sitting in Duluth, Minnesota,
and the opinion was signed by Chief
Justice Fischer and Associata Jus
tice Tilson, with James r. Ryan,
special assistant attorney general
appearing for the Government.
The complaint against Davis
specified that he had signed his
name to an instrument before the
court as attorney, when, the Opin-
ion reads, he was never admitted to
practice before the bar of the Gus
toms Court, or of any other court
for that matter.
Ryan, who represented the Gov.
eminent was formerly attorney for
the National Catholic Welfare Con-
ference for six years in Washing
ton and later a practicing attorney
With Offices lit the DStlElhS Duiiu-
ing.
Davis was sentenced to pay a
fine of 500, but sentence was re-
mitted upon his promise not to re-
peat the offense.
The law gives the United States
Customs Court power to punish for
contempt any person who repre-
sents himself to be an attorney,
and as such attempts TO represent
the interests Of an importer before
the court.
