business of the organization and at
12:30 a delicious dinner was served.
The principal address of the after
noon was made by Mr. Fine, con
nected with the Oregon Agricultural
college, whose subject was "official
Testing." He advised that the testing
lie followed and the poor producers of
the herd weeded out. lie said that
many other states were looking to
ward Oregon to supply them with
Jersey cows, for the state has made a
reputation of having some of the best.
A. Malar, whose home is near Bor
ing, talked on "Private Testing." At
the present time he has a herd of 13
cows. When visitors call at his farm
iesir'iig to make a purchase they ran
judge for themselves, he says, as to
just what each cow is producing, for
the record appears after her name in
tabulated form.

TRADE COMMISSION.
itmlge Declares Congress Cannot
J. Confer Power to Make Industries
Furnish Monthly Reports,
i.".
WASHINGTON, April 19. The su
Vrnie court of the District of Colum
bia ruled today that the federal trade
Horn mission is 'without authority to
iuforce its order requiring monthly
&-rjorts of production costs from coal
aiiiiie companies and other industries.
i!'Ju granting: application of t"e May
Y.'ird Coal company of Kentucky and
Htio for an ijuaction to restrain the
i ojiimipsion from proceeding: to collect
ji jit-nalty of $100 a day for every day
Xf failure to report. Justice Bailey de-
iured that the powers the commission
fought were "vast and unprecedented"
flrrd beyond the province of congress
fa confer. The court's decision af
T,; 3 virtually every mining and man
ufacture cumpauy in the country,
it was said tonight by corporation
lawyers.
. Justice Bailey held that if the busi
ness of the concern from which pro
duction cost reports were demanded
was entirely in interstate commerce
the commission's claim of authority
might be valid, but that in the May
nard case the commission obviously
was demanding information from a
company whose business was both
intrastate and interstate.
J. S. Foster, general counsel for
the National Coal association, de
clared in a statement that the deci
sion was far-reaching.
"If the contention of the commis
sion had been sustained." he said,
"it would necessarily follow that the
commission had the right to require
not only such detailed reports of cost
of production from coal operators but
from all manufacturing and commer
cial concerns which ship any portion
of the products or articles in which
they deal in interstate commerce and
would force, all such companies to
report In detail every item of cost and
profit, as well as their financial con
dition." V .

Merger of Mississippi Associations
and Action Against Foes of
Waterivajr. Work Suggested.
ST. LOUIS, April 19. Recommenda
tion that the Mississippi valley water
ways association merte with the Mis
sissippi valley association was made
in the annual report of J. E. Smith,
president of the former organization,
at the annual convention tonight. He
pointed out that the purposes of the
two associations were similar and
that members of one organization also
were members of the other.
The convention of the Mississippi
valley association opens tomorrow
and virtually all waterways delegates
are remaining' for it. The water
ways convention ended today.
Mr. Smith's report criticised action
of congress In appropriating only
$12,000,000 for waterways projects
and approved the Newton bill now
pending, which asks more than
$65,000,000 for waterways improve
ments on the Mississippi, Missouri
and Ohio rivers.
Concerted action by the business In
terests of the valley to defeat candi
dates inimical.to constructive water
ways legislation was urg:ed.
The report praised' the Ksch-Cum-mins
railroad act "as the greatest
piece of constructive legislation ever
enacted" because the law prohibits
railroads from large rates in section
A. in sections in which there is water
way competition.
H. E. Merrick, Chicago, president
of the Mississippi valley association,
in an address attacked "criminal
strikes" and advocated an alliance of
business men, farmers and the pub
lic to prevent further strikes and
walkouts.
Major-General Lansing H. Beach,
newly-appointed director of the gov
ernment barge line on the Mississippi,
in an address explained why water
way transportation was cheaper than
rail
"It takes one-half as much power,"
he said, "to handle a given tonnage
by water as by rail."
Late today delegates attended the
launching of the self-propelling barge
Birmingham and the christening, of
the barge Tuscaloosa. A quartof
champagne was used in the christen
ing. . .
