anu ~ sum
As result. there was to be held
late this Thursday afternoon a
public hearing on a measure of far
reaching significance. which other
wise might have popped onto the
house floor and gone on its way
before being sighted by those bust
ness men and institutions it would
yitally affect as law
II is HB-2s2. known as the I'm
fair Practices Act"
By the committee on COM
merce and manufacturing, Of
which Rep. Earl :. Coe, fruit
shipper from the Columbia
river area across from Hood
River, Ore, il chairman and
Montgomery il a member, the
proposed law would forbid
"Ioss leaders," "giye-aways"
that might injure competitors
in trade, rebates and any and
all practices the state might
decide were designed TO de
stroy competition"
Montgomery recognized n 2
measure as one which would affect
almost all business. In committee
he demanded a public hearing
Disregarding him, the commit
tee reported the bill to the house.
Then, on the open floor. the Puy-
allup member "revolted."
He was upheld. and todsy's Z 80
p. m. hearing was ordered by the
membership.
The bills declared purpose
il ito safeguard the public
against creation or perpetual
ton Of monopOlies, and 10 fos-
ter and encourage competition
by prohibiting unfair, dishon-
est. descriptive, destructive,
fraudulent and discriminatory
practices by which fair and
honest competition il destroy

Montgomery favors the bills
svowed purposes, but viewed IL as
one which might be used. in part.
to hamper legitimate business. At
least. he wanted the legitimate
business man. VINO might be 60

'BaniCade' Is Action
Filled Romance
(REVIEW)

Two Americans live a startling
drama, trapped in a remote United
States consulate besieged by fierce
Monaghan bandits, in "Barricade,"
thrilling 10th Century-Fox picture
which opened yesterday at the
Rialto theater. Alice Faye and War
ner Baxter, co-starred in the film,
are the couple and their story is one
of the adventure-packed romantic
highlights of the season.
With death seemingly .ut an hour
away, these two learn to love in the
face of peril and their efforts to re-
sist the bandits and fight their way
to safety make for thrilling enter
tainment in the best screen manner.
Featured in the cast supporting
Miss Faye and Baxter are Charles
Winninger, Arthur Preacher, Keye
Luke and Willie Fung, under the
direction Of Gregory Ratoff.
The screen play by Granville
Walker opens in a city in Northern
China where Alice Faye is singing
in a big hotel. When she happens
to be the only eyewitness to a po-
litical assassination, she fees in fear
for her life, only to plunge straight
into deadly danger when she reaches
an American consulate.
Hot on her trail for the eye-wit-
ness account of the murder, Warner
Baxter encounters Alice in a train
just as it is stopped by the raiding
bandits who have torn up the tracks.
Somehow the pair manage to get
through the fighting line to refuge
in the American compound but they
are not to be safe for long. At the
risk Of his life, the Consul CHARLES
Winninger) goes out to get a group
of Britishers at the local mission
and they nc sooner return than the
bandits attack. How the little
group fares in its predicament, and
how Alice and Warner find romance
is told with a cinematic verve and
zest that makes "Barricade" well
worth seeing.
