PEDDLERS LAW IS HELD
VOID BY FEDERAL COURT
Four Points in Federal Consti
tution Conflict; Incorporated
Towns Not Effected.
( By United Press Association )
Portland, Jan. 21. Declaring the so
cafled peddlars' law of the state of
Oregon is discriminatory and that its
enforcement means the violation of at
least four points in the federal consti
tution, the executive officers of Mult
nomah, Clatsop and Hood River coun
ties were enjoined from the enforce
ment in a suit filed by the federal
court by attorneys for the Grand
Union Tea Co., of New York.
The peddlars law was passed by the
legislature in 1909, and prohibits per
sons from going through the country
taking orders for future delivery of
goods to consumers without passing
through a wholesale or retail store. It
does not effect incorporated towns.
Federal Judge Wolverton granted a
temporary injunction and set the hear-,
ing for January 30.
