Political interest was stimulated
here today by activities on sew

Henry j. Allen, Kansas pub
Usher and editor, predicted in a
speech that the Republican party

The BoratfKnox controversy
was enlivened by the action Of

Knox, of Chicago, demanding to
know whether Knox was counte-

Illinois delegates on the Borah

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK CITY, May 4,-Since
the N. R. A. was declared unconsti-
tutional price cutting in the drug
and cosmetic industry has increased
to such an extent that in many cases
products are sold at retail at from
40 to 60 per cent below their adver-
tised levels, Samuel L. Antonow,
president of the Vadsco Sales Corp,
states in his annual report to stock
holders.
, The consistent decline during the
year of prices received for finished
merchandise has been reflected in a
decrease in the companys gross profit
per unit of sale, said Antonow.
The outlook for the coming year
is more encouraging. Recognition OF
the disastrous effect of price-cutting
and unsound competitive practices in
this as in other industries has re-
suited in the adoption by large
number of States of fair trade laws
and in growing movement within
the industry for cooperative en-
forcement of fair trade practices.
