they consider unreasonable demands
or unreasonable methods on labors

"Leftist' front, and the breakup of
that front will unquestionably hearten
the promoters of the various dictato-
rial movements.
Warnings by Newspapers.
1t is significant that many Of the
Leftlst" newspapers, which have I'M
swervingly supported labor up to now,
are today uttering solemn warnings
against trying public patience too far.
The first hotel strikes in Paris &C.
Cured year ago, and although they
lasted only a few hours in most es-
ADJUSTMENTS, they cost many millions
OF francs to the French tourist indus
try. Guests for the most part suf-
fered no greater inconvenience than
having to climb few flights of stairs
to their rooms, or having to 20 out
10 the nearest cafe for breakfast. but
hundreds OF visitors, fearing condi-
tons might get worse, left Paris hur-
friendly, while thousands of others,
hearing OF the trouble, preferred to
modify their itineraries and avoid
Paris altogether.
Public opinion. whether rightly or
wrongly, is already placing the bulk of
the blame on labor for the DELAY in
opening the Paris exposition. 1t
should have opened May l, thus catch
ing many thousands of visitors before
and after the coronation in London.
The postponement to May 25 breaks
the coronation tie-up. In reality, the
blame does not lie so much on labor
as on the initial delays in deciding
on the plans two years ago. Back in
1888 1t was already being predicted
that the exposition would have to be
put of until 1888 because of the ma
terlal lmpossibility of getting 1t ready
this year. But the work has been
pushed rapidly, and if there Is a de-
lay OF three weeks in the opening it
Is due not so much to labor as TO the
late start
Labor Should Be Careful.
The fact that the public is in
clined to blame labor. however, is
symptomatic. 1t shows that the pub
hes sympathy with the labor move
ment in general is waning. Labor
uoght to regard it as a warning signal
and be ultra careful during the next
few months, to commit no act which
the public might regard as an act of
sabotage against the exposition.
The exposition, its architects state,
Will be IS per cent complete on the
opening day and 100 per cent COM

Fair Trade Acts Passed by IS States
To Outlaw Wars by Price Cutting

the original California law Of 1881
was adopted by Iowa in 1884.
Although the first minimum price
law was enacted several years before
there was any such Federal body as
the N. II. A., that act indicated to
business men generally what restric-
lions might be laid on price cutting.
When the N. r. A. was declared I'M
constitutional by the Supreme Court
many demands were made on State
Legislatures for some effective means
OF controlling prices that would stand
the test Of the court. Since then fair
trade acts have been increasingly
popular.
Apply TO Intrastate Business.
These various State laws fixing
minimum prices, Of course, apply only
to business done within the State it
self. Necessarily, therefore, a cor
poration in one State wishing to take
advantage Of . law in another must
set up some sort Of subsidiary or in
some other way "domesticate" itself
within the other State.
New legislation, in the form OF
what Is known as the Tydings- Miller
bill, is now pending in Congress to
take care of this interstate situation.
This new legislation would permit q
producer in State which has a fair
trade law to request wholesalers and
retailers in another State which has
similar law to enter into a con-
tract fixing the minimum price for
goods passing between them.
An unfair trade practice is de-
fined-in practically the same words
in these laws IS "wilfully and know
ingly advertising, offering for sale or
selling any commodity at less than
the price stipulated in any contract
entered pursuant to the act"
A person damaged by an unfair
practice of this type has the right to
sue in several States which provide
for the cancellation Of the charters
Of corporations found guilty OF vio-
lating the statute.
