OF CHANCE In SALE OF
CANDY VIOLATES CODE

The Federal Trade Commission
has prosecuted approximately sew
enty cases of unfair competition in,
volving lotteries in the candy trade
during the past year. These cases
were based upon substantially the
same practices as those charged in
the complaint of the Federal Trade
Commission against R. F. Keppel
and Brother, Inc, of Lancaster, Pa.
which complaint was sustained by a
decision of the U. S. Supreme Court,
rendered February 5, 1894.
Following the Supreme Court de-
cision forty-eight candy companies in
fourteen eastern and midwestern
states consented without contest to
the Commissions issuance of cease
and desist orders enjoining prac-
tees similar to those in the Keppel
case. Since then other companies
have been served with complains
and orders.
The companies in the cases were
charged, the complaints allege, with
distributing to wholesale and retail
dealers, packages or assortments of
candy SO packed and assembled as to
involve the use of lottery scheme
Jr game of chance when distributed
% customers, many of whom were
school children. According to testi-
mony, candy containing lottery de-
vices was sold in several school
cafeterias and in stores near schools
with the apparent approval of
teachers.
Candy manufacturers who pro-
mote the sale of their products by
means of lottery or draw packages"
are not only violating an order of
the Federal Trade Commission, it is
disclosed, but of the U. S. Supreme
Court and also the candy manufac-
turers' code of fair competition.
Several states also have statutes de-
claring, tina. lotteries constitute
penal offenses.
A number of formal complaints of
alleged unfair competition, involving
lotteries in the sale of candy, are
now pending before the Commission.
Several of them will be brought to
trial during this month.
1t may be that some candy dealers
are not aware of the full meaning of
the Supreme Courts decision in the
Keppel case. They, as well as the
manufacturers from whom they buy,
violate the law and are liable to pro-
secution for selling and distributing
these assortments of candy.
The penny candy trade is large,
with thousands of retail dealers SELL
ing candy assortments to school
children. In its decision in the KEEP
pei case, the Supreme Court recog-
nized this, saying that "a practice so
widespread and so far-reaching in it's
consequences is of public concern"
Many are of the opinion that such
practices as complained of by che
Federal Trade Commission subtly
inculcate the habit of gambling in
children and is reflected in the effort
| to reestablish lotteries in many
places.

February 81, 1895
Honorable Harry w. Nice
Governor of Maryland
Annapolis, Maryland
My dear Governor:
At the weekly meeting Of the
Maryland Delegation in the House of
Representatives today, it was decid-
ed to communicate with you, the
President of the Senate, the Speaker
of the House of Delegates, the Chair
man of the Committee on Finance of
the Senate, and the Chairman of the
Committee ON Ways and Means of
the House of Delegates concerning
the matter of social legislation.
The Members of the Maryland
Delegation have communicated with
the appropriate Senate and House
Committees, and are strongly of the
opinion that the Congress will pass
Old Age Pension and Unemployment
Insurance legislation at this Session
of Congress.
We are also strongly of the opin-
ion that this legislation will require
State cooperation in order to be
effective.
In view of the fact that the Mary
land Legislature will adjourn at the
end of March, and that the Congress
will probably not adjourn until July,
and in view of the further fact that
the Federal legislation may not pass
until after the Maryland Legislature
adjourns, it seems to us proper to
suggest that the Maryland Legisla-
ture pass legislation that will enable
it 20 cooperate with whatever the
Federal legislation may be, in order
that the people of Maryland may re-
ceiye the full benefit of the Federal
legislation.
The Members of the Maryland
Delegation, House of Represent
atives, will be very happy to CO.
operate in every way to carry out the
purposes of this letter.
Should you consider it desirable,
we can arrange with the Chairman
of the Committee ON Finance of the
Senate, and of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House, for con-
ference with you and representatives
of the Legislature.
All the Members of the Maryland
Delegation attended today's meeting
except Congressman Lewis, who was
unavoidably absent.
With kind regards, we are
Very sincerely yours,
Ambrose J. Kennedy.

Winchester, Mass, Aug. 3-(UP)
"A score of strikebreakers and
private detectives, beleaguered in
the Begg & Cobb Tannery, faced
the prospect today of remaining in
the building over the weekend.
In a situation unparalleled in
Massachusetts, labor history, sew
eral hundred strikers armed with
baseball bats resolutely have kept
the men inside from leaving the
plant since yesterday morning.
Violence Yesterday
Violence fiared briefly yesterday
when two men were arrested and
several others were injured during
clashes after. automobiles bearing
strikebreakers attempted to run
the picket gauntlet. Windshields
and windows of the machines were
smashed and the occupants show.
cred with glass. After the two sor.
tie attempts, the private detectives
ana strikebreakers decided to re
main within the plant. Local police
fearing they would be unable Il
cope with the situation IL riotine
were resumed, called aid from

hall Monday between representa-

Coroner Probes Into
SadDrowning7 Tragedy
Carelessness Rumored on the Outing OF Clerks From
Wortl1's Bank Street Stofe-State Officers Are
Still Investigating Accident

Evidence of carelessness was be-
ing sought by Coroner John T.
Monzani in. his investigation today
of the drowning Thursday night,
at Beacon Falls, of Sherman H.
Kramef, sof III Branch street, and
Minnie Cohen, of $40 Cooke street,
who lost their lives when the row
boat in which they were returning
from an outing of employees of
Worth's store, capsized.
Coroner Monzani with four
members of the state police bar
racks at Beacon Falls raised the
boat from the water and after
emptying it, placed it back in the
water and got into It to recon-
struct the mishap. There Is no
question but what the boat was
overcrowded, the officials de-
termined. They discovered split
in the side of the boat which was
brought down below the water
level when the weight of the Cor
oner and the four officers was
concentrated near the split.
Officers i'm the Probe
Lieutenant william Schatzman
and Troopers Schwartz, PARROT
and IIenzel conducted the investi-
CATION yesterday. Lieut.. Schatzman
told Coroner Monzani that David
Greenberg, credit manager of
Worths, who weighs about 800
pounds, an unusually large man,
was rowing the boat at the time of
the accident.
1t Is believed that his weight to-
gether with the seven or eight
other passengers, caused the boat
to sink deep into the water so that
the split in the side of the boat
permitted the water to enter.
Kramer. his friends say, could
not swim a stroke, SO that when
the boat capsized, he immediately
sank. The water was about five feet
deep at the point the boat cap
sized.
Miss Cohcn's Head Hurt
Miss Cohen Is believed to have
struck her head against the side of
the boat for examination showed
her head to have been bruised.
She is said to have been able to
swim but that she was apparently
dazed by the blow upon her head.
