SUITS To TEST
PRICE FIXING

Testing the validity of Secre-
tary of Agriculture Henry A..
Wallace's authority to fix prices
for the sale of milk and cream,
two suits were filed today in Dis
trict Supreme Court, petitioning
injunctions to restrain carrying
out the price fixing order.
Justice Joseph w. Cox signed
a rule giving Secretary Wallace
until August 81 to show cause
why the injunctions should not
be issued. The suits were filed
by Attorneys Nugent Dodds and
Neil Burkinshaw on behalf of
the Economy Dairy Company,
Norwood Park, ILL.,, an interstate
dealer in milk and cream, and
Milton r. Beck, trading as the
Southwest Dairy Products, Stick
ney, Ill, whose business is con-
fined to the state.
In each instance the petitioners
declare they have no delivery
service which enables them to
sell their products at substanti-
ally lower prices than their COM
petitors. Secretary Wallace, the
suit declared, has ordered them
to sell milk at 10 cents a quart,
while they have been selling for
6A cents a quart.
The petitioners declare that
such an order is unconstitutional
and the Secretary has no author
itY to fix milk prices.

To ENFORCE
CODES
Justice Department and Trade
Commission Designated;
"Buy Now" Drive Begun
BY international News Service

Pledging a battle against
profiteering, Hugh S. johnson,
national recovery administra-
tor, today disclosed tentative
plans to delegate the policing
of industry to the Justice De-
partment and the Federal
Trade Commission.
The Recovery Administration
itself, johnson said, plans to con
fine its efforts at enforcing the re:
covery act to the compulsion Of
public opinion.
Complaints Received
Explaining his plan, johnson
said: ..-.--........
"We are receiving complaints,
and we shall try to decentralize
enforcement after codes are ap-
proved. This is to be a sort
of a guild government. Since
agreements of companies are
voluntary, it is my thought to
lay complaints before the trade
association.
But, on the other hand,
there is the question whether
the association becomes a mo-
nOpOly in restraint of trade. We
will have one to three people
sitting in trade associations,
without vote but with veto
power.
"If complaints are not settled,
It is my idea-thiS is tentative
that we will turn policing over
to the Federal Trade COmmis-
sion. AS far as our outfit is
concerned, we are going to as
sumo good faith. OF course, the
Department of Justice has
power and responsibility under
the law"
Asked if he planned to investi-
gate complaints of profiteering in
Cleveland and other cities, John
son replied:
1--WE don't have to investi-
gate-alI kinds of things indi.
cate chiSeling."
Progress on Codes
Developments in the NRA in
Eluded:
johnson made a tentative en-
gagement to see newspaper
publishers, declaring that the
code submitted to him is "un-
satisfactory in some respects"
He declined to give details.
Code for the lumber indus
try, as revised by NRA, was be-
fore johnson today. Includes
modification of hours of labor

HAVANA, Aug. II G.N.S.).
Defying President Machado,
Havana street railway work
ers refused to return to their
jobs today.
The workers flatly declined
today to obey an order issued
by strike leaders that they re-
sumo work at noon.
Their refusal was serious
blow to the efforts of President
Gerardo Machado to preserve his
dictatorship by bringing an end
to the "strike rebellion" which
has paralyzed the nation.
The workers served an ultima
tum upon Machado advising him
of their refusal.
Decision Expected Today
A defenite decision by President
Machado to resign his post or
defy the United States regardless
of consequences is expected to-
day.
The chief executive, barricaded
in his palace behind machine
guns, summoned leaders of all
parties for an important confer
ence.
Ostensibly called to obtain
agreement on emergency measures
to smash the strike rebellion"
the meeting, however, was believed
to be a cloak for political con-
ference which will decide the fate
of the President.
From a high-ranking member OF
the Liberal party, heretofore the
staunchest supporter of Machado,
it was learned that the organiza-
tion, in secret session, had decided
to ask the President to take a
"leave of absence"
Herrera Is Doomed
The informant, a member Of the
national executive committee, said
the party had decided to request
Machado to appoint Gen. Alberto
Herrera, now war minister, as Sec
retary of state.

An Interested Voter Appeals to
Garrett County Citizenry To
Vote Against the Return of
The SaIOOn

To the People of Garrett County,
How shall vote on September 18th
is the question now before us. Shall
l vote for beer and the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment to the Consti-
tuition so that we can have the saloons
back again? 1t is a question each
voter of the county must answer.
If we vote for the return of the
saloons, and that is what we will dc
if we vote for beer and the repeal of
the Eighteenth Amendment, we can
not have the saloons without custom
ers, and certainly if l vote for them
and want them returned l should
patronize them and could not object
to my family of boys and girls doing
likewise. Also if we want the saloons
for the revenue derived through the
license for same for the support OF
the government, then the more beer
and other liquors drunk the greater
the revenue will be for Uncle Sam. Sc
if we vote for them they are well pat
ronized. Would you want your boys
and girls to be their best customers
Could you object to this if you vote
for the return of the liquor traffic
Would your children be better men
and women by patronizing these
places? Think this over before cast
ing your vote on September 18th.
If the patronizing of these saloons
by your boys and girls will make
them better citizens, then, fathers and
mothers, you should vote for the re-
turn of the traffic. And if the saloons
are returned to county, never find
fault with those who patronize them.
In the depression times it is very
hard for the majority of the people
to earn sufficient to buy bread and get
the necessary things for the family,
much less spend their money for drink.
Every dollar spent for drink in the
family means that much less for the
necessities of life.
Men and women of Garrett county,
l appeal to you to think this matter
over carefully between now and next
Tuesday and then go to the polls and
cast your votes against beer and
against ratification.
This is the only sure way to vote
against the return of the saloons to
Garrett county.
Respectfully yours,
AN INTERESTED VOTER.
Oakland, Md, Sept. 4, 1888.
