HOLD RIGHT OF MANUFACTURERS TO FIX PRICES

Trade Commission Says Law Should Permit Makers to Maintain Resale Prices. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 12 Renewed recommendation that manufacturers be permitted by law to fix and maintain resale prices, subject to review by a disinterested agency, was made by the federal trade commission today In a special report to Congress. Ex istlng laws which have been Interpreted by the supreme court In the case against Colgate and Company and in other test cases, to prevent fixing of re-sale prices, should be amended, the commission believes, with a view to removing the present complexity in the business -world, to promoting the efficiency of manufacturing and commercial institution and to serving the interests of the consuming public. Under the commission's recommendation, first advanced in a report to congress last December manufacturers desiring to fix and maintain re-sale prices would file with an agency to be designated by Congress, descriptions of their articles, contracts of sale and the price schedules to be maintained. The disinterested agency would be charged with the duty "upon com plaint of any dealer or consumer or other party at Interest," to review the terms of contracts and prices. Price Cutting Danger. The commission's recommendations the report said were based on the fol lowing conclusions: What producers of Identified goods Identified by trade mark or trade practice should be protected In their Intangible prop erty right or good will created through years of fair dealing and of sustained quality of merchandise: That the unlimited power both to fix and to enforce and maintain re sale prices may not be made lawful with safety: and "That unrestrained price cutting Is not In the public Interest and tends eventually to Impair, if not to destroy the production and distribution of ar ticles desirable to the public.

Waiters' Strike Is On In Paris Restaurants

(By Associated Press) PARIS, July 12. Paris Is deprived by the waiters' strike of one of Its distinctive features, no little tables being set outside of restaurants on the pavements except In a very few casts. Those engaged In food purveying are giving six months for reaching an agrement with their employes, according to the eight hour law. Hitherto the waiters have proposed a ten hour day but the employers have been demanding twelve. Proprietors of the principal hotels conferred with representatives of the waiters tonight but failed to effect a settlement. Another meeting will be held at the Ministry of Labor tomorrow. There were a few clashes during the evening between the police and strikers who were trying to induce men working In establshments that are still open to walk out. About forty strikers were arrested during the day for obstructing workers but were subsequently released. TAKE-ALL DISEASE INFECTS ONLY 300 ACRES IN INDIANA INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. July 12 Less than 300 acres of wheat in Indiana have been attacked by the take-all disease, according to Richard Lieber, director of the department of conservation. Lieber said that tabulated re ports on every field In the state Indicated that the presence of the disease is very limited. Lieber Bald that he was confident that the statewide quarantine order proposed by the Federal horticultural board would not be enforced against Indiana. He pointed out that the police power delegated by the last legislature to the conservation department had made it possible for the situation to be instantly controlled before any serious consequences had resulted. He said the state authorities have the situation entirely In hand and that there is no necessity for federal Intervention. Lieber said that Frank Wallace, r.tate entomologist, and John G. Brown of Monon, president of the Farmers' Federation of Indiana, would appear before the federal board in Washington Tuesday as the representatives of the department. He said that on account of the serious results which would follow a state-wide quarantine, W. A. Guthrie, chairman of the conservation commission, probably would accompany Wallace and Brown to Washington. Settlement Is Seen In Shipping Board Strike (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, July 12 Hope that conferences here today between representatives of striking marine fire men water tenders and oilers and members of the United States shipping board would result in a settlement and prevent a tie-up of coastwise traffic was expressed by union leaders. Conferences begun in Washington yesterday, although failing to produce an agreement are said to have paved the way for more favorable results today. Should the Union delegates and officials of the shipping board fail to get together, union leaders indicated that the strike might spread to transAtlantic shipping and also that affiliated workers in the coastwise trade to the number of seventy thousand would be called out in a general strike. Union leaders claimed to have assurances that Marine unions in England would refuse to unload vessels manned by non-union crews. The strike here has resulted in many coasting vessels being held at their piers. These included vessels of the Mallory line for gulf ports and Savannah liners. The old Dominion line sent one vessel out yesterday. At the United Fruit pier it was said that the lack of a crew was holding one vessel and that another might sail on time.

RICHMOND LOOKED BETTER THAN PARIS . TO LOCAL SOLDIER AFTER .YEAR ACROSS

"I'd rather come to Richmond than! go to Paris," said Peter Lichtenf els, who returned to his home in this city after being in France and Germany for 11 months. Lichtenf els was very reluctant about giving an interview because he said he felt as though he had done nothing compared with the other men in his outfit and other outfits, many of whom, he said, were wearing three and four gold service stripes, and wound chevrons. He enlisted in the army and two months afterward was on his way to Europe. He arrived in France with the 84th division in September, 1918. In October he was transferred to the first division, regular army. He was in France until after the armistice was signed, and then went into Germany. During the war he took part in the Meuse-Argonne conflicts. Lichtenfels says he considers himself lucky in getting out without any wounds. It was during this time that his family did not hear from him. He said none of themen were able to write. In 8oldiers' Play. The first division was the first to go to Europe, and the first in battle and has at all times made a remarkable record for Itself. It is one of the two divisions that had the largest number of casualties, with over 30,000. Lichtenfels said there had been 110 per cent of replacements. In February a song composer of note, a member of the first division, wrote a musical operetta in three acts, and 19 men belonging to the first division, the majority of whom were professional theatrical men, were picked to form a company and tour Germany. Lichtenfels, who was formerly in vaudeville, was a member of the com pany. Many of the men dressed as chorus girls. The show was one of the big hits of the A. E. F. and was called the A. W. O. L. show. Lichtenfels said that almost every man in the show had three gold stripes and had been seriously wounded. For instance, he said the man who took the part of an Englishman in the show was suffering from shell shock at the time he went on, and stuttered, but this was not noticeable in his role. The show played all over Germany. It probably will be brought to this country for production. One of the songs has already been sold to Schu Hagerstown, Ind, Mrs. Christena Bailey and daughter, Mrs. Angie Vickrey of Marlon, are guests of Mrs. Bailey's sister, Mrs. Sarah Hardman and daughter.

bert for next winter. "It was lots of fun putting it on," said Lichtenfels.

When he came back to France for sailing orders the show was just ready to go to Paris and then down to Monte Carlo. He was asked to take the extra two weeks and go along but, he said, Richmond looked better to him than Paris. Upon arriving in New York he was approached by a theatrical manager who wanted to talk business, but "nothing doing." He was coming home, he said. American Girls Best. Germany is much cleaner than France, according to Lichtenfels, but the girls haven't as much style or looks as the French girls. "The American girls have got it all over them all. You have no idea what a grand and glorious feeling it is to talk to an American girl after wading about in French verbs and nouns." Lichtenfels has no plans for the future, but says he thinks now he will not go back to the footlights. He danced and he says that tramping about in woods hasn't improved his feet. Just at present Richmond looks good enough to him.

SPEECH-MAKING ON PROHIBITION OCCUPIES HOUSE Debate on Dry Law Enforcement Ranges From Technical Argument to Stump Speeches.

WASHINGTON. D. C, July 12. In the course of a five-hour debate in the house Friday on the prohibition bill the liquor traffic was likened to a convicted criminal appealing for a reprieve, while some of the more dramatic provisions of the measure were denounced as an Invasion of the liberty, hospitality and habits of the home. It probably was the last great day of prohibition oratory in the house. Not all of the twelve hours set aside for general debate had been used at the close of an all-day discussion, which ranged from a technical argument on constitutional questions to a straight stump speech for prohibition and its enforcement. Time of Speeches Limited. Chairman Volstead, of the Judiciary committee, in charge of the bill, and Representative Igoe, Democrat, of Mississippi, leader of the minority, were unable to allot all of the time desired by members anxious to be heard. There were more demands than there was time to give, with everybody seeking to speak. Time and again there was the droning call of "The gentleman asks permission to extend and revise his remarks." The Bpeechmaking continued today, but the house will not begin actual work on the bill, section by section, until Monday.
