The commission indicates that It does , net approve the use of the word as a trade name for stiver-plated hqllowware . d wiH proceed InV Individual eases 'that coma before it to the light of this . disapproval, with due regard to the mer it of the case. , ; ' - fit seems that the .ininstructed :pur . chasing t public - associates the .name Sheffield-, with origin in Sheffield. Kng- land, . says th commission, "and .; at tributes to ' silver-plated hollow" ware sold under that name , a .representation of quality not accurately measured, but -. eurrespondlng generally to the quality represented in the silver-plated line by original Sheffield plate. ' ('But the word as used by the manu facturers has no meaning at all, since It is indiscriminately applied in the trade : tot all classes and grades of silverware, "from the cheapest and poorest to the - bast -and most expensive. This absence t C meaning, in conjunction with what seems to be an accepted meaning on the part of the public, known to the trade and relied upon, seems to the commission to constitute an unfair-method of compe tition." r - At a conference of the trade m Wash ington it was proposed that "Sheffield" be n.ad to represent a certain standard of I quality, but the commission does not feel that this would solve the difficulty. Senator Ladd's Bill tTo Guarantee Farm Prices Loses Hold i C0MMIS11ULES Washington, May S. (WASHINGTON r BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL,) Sena r: tor Ladd's bill to guarantee the price of staple farm products is suffering from lassitude, a sort of spring fever which has increased, it appears, in proportion ' -'. to ith steady rise in farm prices. With . ' prices going up, the argument for the ' ? bill seems to- be losing much of its strength. - . Senator Lad d has not abandoned the bill. -holding that a temporary rise in .. prices at this season may be followed - byi a drop about the time the new crop is Sto be sold, next fall. lie is waiting Tos further reports of farmer organ ... isations which are considering the mat tei before he renews the . fight in full Vigor, ;. ; . . A few weeks ago It seemed that the ; tAdd bill would be favorably reported from- the agricultural committee of the ' senate. That, was in the season of the . lowest price- levels, and had prices not ' risen, the administration before this time would no doubt have been "consid ering the measures to be taken" to pre : vest passage of the bill in the senate, it t-eing welt understood that the president and. his advisers are much opposed to it. - The price rise has saved the- admini , stration from adding this new embar rassment to the bonus, the tariff and its other worriea The propaganda for the . 'bill has -slackened, the bill is sleeping, an . its opponents evidently expect to tokl it in committee without" great diffi culty. , r rJap anese Company Celebrates 20th Year of Founding he 20th anniversary of the founding of j R.
