missioner Payne had correctly inter!
preted the rule, 1t has been decided
to re-examine the new rule with q
committee from the Federal Com
muntcations Bar Association. This
group, it was said. not only had ap-
proved the rule in draft form when
1t was submitted to it for considera-
ton prior to adoption, but actually
had proposed the rule against. which
certain members of the association
now are complaining.
Seven other petitions to intervene
In as many cases, 1t was said, also
were overruled at the same time and
the commissions decision today af-
fected these same cases. The new
regulation, it was explained, is q
move to cut down on the number of
stations which seek to oppose ap-
plicants for new stations as well as
for increased facilities. The new
rule merely requires that those who
seek to intervene in such cases must
set out in their petitions full state
ments of claims on which they base
their applications.
The underlying purpose of the
commission in adopting its new
regulation on Intervention, it was
asserted, was to correct the practice
which had become prevalent under
the prior rule of the commission.
Under this former rule the commits
sion permitted any person to inter-
vene in hearing If his petition dis
closed a substantial interest in the
subject matter.
This standard was held to have
been so broad and the commissions s

Retailers Urged
To Fight Contracts
Aiding Price Rises
Attempt Is Launched
To Permit Boosts After
Order Is Placed @s4
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Re-
tail trade sources said yesterday
some manufacturers, notably in the
mems clothing field, had attempt
ed to start a practice of blank
check" contracts, which would per-
nit increases Of prices after the
order had been placed and ac-
cepted. .
Frank M. Mayfield of st. Louis,
chairman of the Emergency Com
mittee of the National Retail Dry
Goods Association, urged retailers
to resist strenuously" any such
efforts on the part of the manufac-
turers, in order to protect the buy
ing public from unjustified price in
creases and to prevent vicious
upward spiralling of prices.
Stamp Allows Raise.
The practice complained of, It
was said, consisted of sending back
order acceptances with a. super
imposed stamp to the effect that
prices could be increased should
PAouASOASAA SOoNo AA1SAC CdoCs
Other rail sources said retailers as
group had suffered badly in N. r..
A. days. from similar practices.
Mr. Mayfleld said: This sort of
buying is contrary to the effort to
hold prices down in the interest not
only of the consumer, but of business
as well
Every manufacturer has the un-
questioned right to quote prices
which he thinks are justified and
retailers have the same right to buy
or decline to buy if they believe such
quotations are unreasonably high.
Held Against General Interest.
"Once a price has been quoted,
however, and an order has been
placed, it is up to the manufacturer
to deliver in accordance with the
terms of interest which he has &C.
cepted. To reserve the right to
change some of the terms of that
contract in accordance with his later
experience, is, believe, against the
general interest. -"
The active principle which oper-
ates to keep prices under control is
the fact that, having committed
himself to the performance of a
contract at stipulated price, the
business man knows that he must 60
through with such contract and
consequently all effort is directed to
the matter of keeping costs within
the contract price,

Intervention Curb
In Radio Cases
Upheld by F. &C.
Boomerang Effect Of
Action Will Cut Down
On Legal Completely
By WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY,

Limitations placed on those seek
ing to intervene in radio broadcast
station cases in an opinion handed
down last week by Commissioner
George Henry Payne were upheld
today in a unanimous decision of
the Federal Communications Com
mission.
The original action of Commits
sioner Payne, which did away with
procedure of long standing in the
commission, led to number Of pc
titions asking the F. c. G. to over
rule the decision, after granting the
petitioners oral arguments. The
commission, however, acted with
out giving the attorneys an op-
portunity to argue their petitions.
AS a result, it is probable that at
torneys for the petitioners will take
the cases to the Court of Appeals.
An examination of the whole case
by the full commission disclosed
that it apparently was a boomer
ang, thrown out by those practicing
before the body, which had re-
turned with a heavy blow, threat
ening, as it does, to cut down con-
siderably the legal appearances be-
fore the commission.

The youth vocational conference

planning a city-wide conference to
be held March 24-25 in conjunction
with the national vocational oppor-
tunity campaign which is sponsored
by the National Urban League.
This Conference is being. called
due to the need of more adequate
vocational guidance among the
Negro Youth of st. Paul. It is
hoped that through this conference
the young people will obtain infor-
nation concerning the large field
of jobs for which they might pre-
pare. There will also be discussed
the techniques that may be used in
seeking jobs; emphasizing the way
youth may cooperate in breaking
down barriers in the various ave-
nues of employment both locally
and nationally.
All young peoples organizations

Benefit Concert
And Big Dance

The Johnnie Baker Post of the
American Legion is presenting the
Phyllis Wheatley Band in a bene-
fit concert and dance Monday,
February 81, 500 P. M, at the
Phyllis Wheatley House.
The Legion Post is sponsoring
the music department in this spe-
cial program for the purpose of
raising funds to buy instruments
to equip the band. Success in this
effort will mean more opportunities
for children as well as adults to
develop talent which may have no
other chance to grow.
The music department offers In
struction on wind instruments and
if the department is supported in
its effort another Duke Ellington or
William Dawson may be developed.
The band will be assisted by the
string ensemble and the women's
quartet along with some special
solo by some of the most outstand-
ing young musicians of the music
department.

Forum Speaker
CLIO ORGANIZER TO SPEAK AT
HALLE @. BROWN FORUM

Frank L. Alsop, the new north
west regional organizer for the
Packing House Workers Organic
ing Committee of the CLIO, will
speak at Halle @ Brown Forum
Sunday, February 26. His subject
will be the Negro and the CLIO.
Coming from Omaha, where he
was CLIO organizer for the Ne
braska region, Mr.. Alsop is now
chief organizer for Minnesota,
North and South Dakota: In this
territory, he, a Negro, has jurisdic-
ton over some $4,000 packing
house workers, less than 5 per cent
Of whom are colored.
Powerfully built the SO year old
Alsop is a forceful and command
ing speaker. Married, he has one
daughter, age 8. Recently at a
mediation board meeting in Austin,
MINI, white lawyer, seeking to
introduce prejudice into the pro-
ceedings, refused to sit at the same
table with Alsop. Nothing daunted
Alsop sat at his place while the
"hly-white" lawyer stood and
fumed through the two hour ses-
sion.
In the course of his talk Alsop
will elaborate on some of the basic
differences between the ALL and
the CLIO.
Company unions and craft
unions" says he, "are useless from
the standpoint of the worker.
Company unions are always domi-
mated by the bosses or owners, and
craft unions are too narrow in their
scope. Only through industrial or
ganization where entire industries
come to the aid of the worker can
the labor problem be adequately
solved"
Sundays Forum will open at
4:30 p. m. The Forum viii be
thrown open for questions after Mr..
Alsop's talk.

John COquire,
Pioneer, History
Week Speaker

The Twentieth Century Charm
Club of Halle @. Brown House en-
joyed a rare treat on Thursday,
February 16, when Mr.. John Co
quire spoke to them as a feature
of Negro History Week. Mr.. Co.
quire's "reminiscences included mar
ratives of Lincoln's funeral, of the
Indian Wars of the 70's and SOS
when Mr.. Coquire served in the
18th Infantry, the only Negro SOL
diers ever stationed at Fort Shell
ing.
He also told the club of the Ne
groes who lived in St. Paul when
he came here, of Mr.. Crosby, whose
property holdings embraced much
of the district in which Negroes
now live in st. Paul, but whose
holdings, like those of many other
pioneer Negroes, shrank during the
many "panics." Of great interest
to the club members was the in
formation that the Rondo Street
car in those early days ran only to
Arundel Street, that Calvary ceme-
tary was located on Carroll in the
neighborhood of Western Avenue,
and that a "pest house" was located
on the site now occupied by Wei
come Hall.
So fascinated were the members
by Mr.. Coquire's narrative that
they hope to have him as their
guest again in the near future.
Gloria Williams is the president of
the Twentieth Century Club and

From studies in live stock breed

pointed out.
