THE OREGON DAILY - JOU RNALj PORTLAND, OREGON. FRIDAY," NOVEMBER 26 1820. FEDERAL TRADE J-- . - - ' ' IS BODY FIGHTING UNFAIR ME T HODS , Washington. Nov. 26. (WASH INGTON BUREAlr OF THE JOUR NAlfcl The federal trad comrali Blon is gradually retting , down to Jeflnitions of. unfair competition, under the rules laid down in the law creating it, and its orders are becom ing a guide whereby business men may know the things which they wth certainty will be protected against. In the case of certain trade practices, like the guarantee of fixed price, there is divided opinion among- business men themselves, and the commission estab lishes a rule only after exhaustive Ini vestlgatlon, In which the views of busi ness men of 'high standing have great weight. In most cases that have been decided, however, the practice con demned by the commission are forms of trlcksry and deception, for which no quick or effective remedy was heretofore available. IT RIGHT PROTECTED The commission thus protects the av erage upright business man from his tricky competitor. It has come into sharp conflict with the big five packers be cause It published widely the practices these packers have used and showed how their profits were hidden. The packers retaliated, by trying to stir trie business interests generally against the commis sion, on the ground that the commission was "Interfering with business" and was "hurtful to business." - The reply of the commission .is that it is hurtful only to the wrong kind of business and that it means to help the business world by the protection of le gitimate business from unfair practices. Four esses decided by the commission .within the last week show what it is do ing in this regard, and are here sum msrlzed. COMMERCIAL BRIBEBT The Sparrows Point Stores Company of Baltimore Is required to refrain from giving, entertainments and gifts to cap tains, chief engineers, stewards and other employes of ships to Influence the purchase of supplies from that concern. ..This is a form of commercial bribery which adds to the cost of business gen erally, and the commission Is trying to stop it H. Norwood Ewlng of New York Is or dered to refrain from using .the name of Liberty Paper . company as a trade name or from advertising himself as the owner of paper mills. It appears that be Is a paper dealer, whose methods were calculated to deceive the trade into be- - lief that he was a paper manufacturer. The Oakes company of Indianapolis was Ordered to refrain from placing de tectives In the offices of its competitors in the radiator fan business. This Is an effort- to stamp out the spy system whereby sales lists and other trade it ers ts are obtained. ATTACKS ABE MADE Samuel Weinberg, using the name of International Flaxol company, of Bos ton, was ordered to refrain from selling a preparation called "flaxol" under that name, because his product was found not to be a fair substitute for flaxoil, belter known as linseed oil. Attempts to discredit the trade com mission have been made by the friends of the packers In ths. senate. Watson made a speech attacking the commis sion ; Smoot tried to cut down its funds t Harding has slurred it In some of bis speeches ; and Sherman, the particular thampion of the packers, fairly rages When the commission is mentioned. Thi la nno f th nrnmatlv AnIa of government which the reactionaries expect to be rid of if Harding Is elected. They may kill it entirely, or may prefer - io appoint ypon it men wno. win speatt softly when the packers are mentioned, and carry no big sticks.

SANDS PRODUCES NOTE TO SHOW $14,000 BRIBE New York, Nov. 26. (U. P.) Tucker K. Sands, treasurer of the Commercial National bank, Washing ton, continued " his testimony today before the Walsh congressional In vestigating committee concerning the alleged bribe Nof $40,000 given to shipping board officials by Wal lace Downey, president of the ship building corporation. Sands has testified Downey gave him $40,000 to -turn over to four officials of the shipping board for g:vlng his firm a large contract. R. W. Boiling, brother-in-law of President Wilson, and Leslie Sisler, then secretary of the shipping board, were named as two officials who received checks for $10,000 each. Sands testified today he had a con troversy with Downey over .the purpose or tne siu.ouo. Downey maintained the amount was excessive. He laid stress upon his statement the money was; not to be given for getting the contract, but for "financial accommodations." Sands told him he couldn't let It go that way, as it would embarrass him at the bank. Sands also said his bank had loaned Downey $100,000. It wasn't really a loan, he said, being just a sum of money placed to the credit of the' Dow ney" corporation which made it possible for the corporation to show that sum of money in its financial statements. The corporation couldn't use the money, he said. One of the notes produced by Sands, intended as evidence that Sisler had accepted $10,000 of the bribe money, was signed by Sisler, indorsing a deal between "two third parties."
