COMPLAINT NAMES.
AUTO PARTS FIRM
Price Fixing and Attempt at
Monopoly Charged by
Trade Commission.
BY the Associated Press.

by tAiC ASoOSlutcu 1iCcS'
The Federal Trade Commission yes
terday issued complaint against the
National Standard Parts Association
and 81 member companies charging
them with price -fixing, unfair COM
petition and an attempt to monopoli7e
the sale and distribution of automo-
bile parts and accessories.
The commission set May % as the
final date on which the association
and others named in the complaint
may show cause why an order to
cease and desist from the practices
complained of should not be issued"
The association, with headquarters
in Detroit, has a membership of 295
jobbers and 1874 manufac turers, in
GLIDING many makers Of nationally
known trade-marked articles.
Among the firms cited were the
A. c. Spark Plug Co.. Flint, Mich;
General Electric Co., Schenectady, N
Y; National Carbon Co., Inc, New
York City; Perfect Circle Co.. Hagers-
town, Md, and Timken Roller Bear
ing Co., Canton, Ohio.
The complaint alleged that "the
respondents Tin 1926 entered into
various agreements, still in effect
among themselves and others con-
certing with them, to control the
price of automobile parts and acces-
series, to eliminate price competition
and to prevent new and additional
competition"
Under the agreements, the COM
plant charges, manufacturer members
FIX uniform and substantially identi-
cal prices for their products to job
bers," resale prices at which jobbers
sell their products, and the jobbers
abide by the price schedules set by the
manufacturers.
The results of the alleged practices
Of the firms, the complaint said, ARE
not only injurious to manufacturers
and jobbers, but also tend to restrain
the free and natural flow of com.
merce, to enhance prices to the pur-
chasing public and deprive the public
of the benefits that would result
from normal competition among the
respondents and their dealer custom
ers and others"

I
which helped to found the League and
Is a permanent member of the Coun'
Gil"
The proposed resolution concluded
by confirming that the anti-poisor
gas convention was obligatory upon
both belligerentS, who are signatures
to the convention.
The resolution was drawn up by rep
resentatives of Spain. Finland. Norway
Sweden and the Netherlands. The
representatives of either Spain or Den
mark. who are members OF the Coun-
Gil. we're to present the resolution.
An attempt by some powers to nave
the Council, executive body OF the
League. adjourn until May II without
adopting some resolution in the Italo-
Ethiopian conflict was frustrated by
the so-called neutral powers.
Stanley M Bruce of Australia pre-
sided over the first public session OF
the Council this morning.
De Madariaga presented his report
as chairman of the Cancellation Com
nittee showing the collapse of peace
efforts through the disagreement OF
italy, demanding direct negotiations, "
and Ethiopia, insisting on negotiations
within the League.
Immediately after De Madariaga read
his report, Baron Aloisi told the
Council:
Responsibility for the failure can
in no wise be laid at the door of my
government"
He asserted no government had given
such proof of good will toward the
League as the Italian government,
(which has remained in the League,
even after that denial of justice of
which Italy has complained.
Baron Aloisi said: 1T should be I'M
derstood that the Italian government
is attached to its own principles ana
that it will maintain these principles,
but I repeat that Italy does not refuse
to discuss peace"
Premier Mussolinis Geneva Spokes-
man defended point by point II Duces
plans for bringing peace to East Africa
by direct negotiations between the two
belligerents, negotiations outside Gen.
eva and suspension of hostilities only
after establishment of Cancellation
preliminaries.
He said an absence OF any direct
Intervention by the League in the
negotiations was judged necessary by
Italy as being the most practical and
the most eff1cacious method.
He insisted this constituted no re-
lection of the spirit Of the League
covenant.
1T is Italy from the start which
has insisted upon application of all
the covenant, not only certain
articles" Baron Aloisi declared.
Italy especially demands not only
the letter of the covenant, but its
spirit, which can have no significance
unless it shows living comprehension
of history, which is not static image,
but a dynamic functioning of human
civilization"
Baron Aloisi gave picture of
Premier Mussolini's legions bringing
Ethiopia the benefits of reconstruction
and civilization.
The sword has been accompanied
by the plow," he declared.
Baron Aloisi defended particularly
Italy's insistence that a suspension Of
hostilities should come only after
peace preliminaries have been fixed.

The House AUGy From
The Road
BV w. B. Fdhrney


Let me live in house away from the
road
Where the cars and the trucks go by;
Where the noise and din and the rattle
of tin
Ring loud through midnight sky.
Where the sirens Shrek like a fire alarm
And back-fires like cannons roar.
I've sold that shack, and I'm not going
back
To live there any more.
The maple that stood where it looked so
good
With seats beneath its shade,
Was hit by truck-it was my hard
luck
When the brakes failed down the
grade.
The sparkling spring with its babbling
brook
That flowed through the meadow
green,
Along its brink looks bit like ink,
And it smells like gasoline.
I'd like to live by the side of the road
And be a friend to man;
And freely give of the life 1 live
But / don't believe 1 can.
I've lost my nerve watching "Dead
Mans Curve"
Where the manned and the dying
call
Where through the night from glaring
light
Strange ghosts dance on my wall.
Tn moving back from that old race
track.
From the din and the trafic's roar,
To little home where the roses bloom
And the birds sing round my door;
Where the trees in bloom give a sweet
perfume
| A part of an infinite plan;
| Where the sun shines bright and I slee]
all night
And feel like friend to man.

Washington, Dec. 17-If ex-King

Particularly in boom times, as we

Tax exemptions are offered; real es-

Fearful that heavy SHOWS would

shoes and through the sky.
Fifteen planes modified here to aid

Subsequently relatively improved

State Compacts; Special
Session Fifth and Shortest
Extra Since 1900

Raleigh. Dec. -(AP)-Members
If North Cardinals legislature rested
from their duties today after a record
breaking special session and prepared
for the regular biennial meeting start
inc January 8.
The special session covered seven
DAYS but only six were legislative
working days and not a single mega
tive vote was recorded as an unem-
novment compensation measure was
enacted.
1t was the fifth special session since
1900. and the shortest of the other
four was II days in 1908.
Faced with most of the same pro-
bens which have caused recent ses-
sions to run from January until mid
May. the legislators expressed hope
as usual for a short regular session.
Senator A. Hall Johnston, of Bun
combe, the Senate president protein,
predicted the regular session would
be completed in about 80 days.
Senator j. A. Patterson, of Scotland,
and Representatives w. w. Eagles, of
Edgecombe and w. E. Fenner of Nash
said they expected legislation dealing
with agriculture to play an unusually
important part in the regular session S
deliberations.
Both the State Grange and State
Farm Bureau Federation have passed
resolutions asking for tobacco crop
control through State compact laws
and during the campaign Governor
elect Clyde r. Hoey pledged himself
to aid the farmers in securing better
prices for their products.
