THE ‘EVENING 'STAR, ‘WASHINGTON, D. T, MOX AY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1935. ¥ X-1n TOBACCO INDUSTRY “C0DE” 1S SINED “Practice Rules” Set Up Under Federal Trade Board. By the Associated Press. A “code” for the wholesale tobacco {ndustry, the first of its kind since N. R. A’s collapse, was announced | yesterday by the Federal Trade Com- mission. § Technically, the agreement is known as “trade practice rules” and is sim- ilar to those which have been issued by the commission since long before N. R. A. Although liberalized some- what beyond past commission prac- tices, it still was far from the elab- orate regulations which linked retail, wholesale and tobacco manufacturing industries under the Blue Eagle. The new agreement contains no fabor provisions. These may be at- tached later through petition to N. R. A. and after approval by the President. As “co-ordinator for in- dustrial production,” George L. Berry has been designated by President Roosevelt to handle the labor sections. Raules Voluntary. Trade Commission rules covering business practices do not require pres- idential approval. They are voluntary in the sense that no member of an industry is required to sign, although some of the rules may be enforceable | in the courts The new wholesale tcbacco agree- ment, which the commission said was adopted at a conference attended by | representatives of 96 per cent of al $150,000,000 industry with an annual sales volume of $1,000,000,000, has two | groups of rules. | The first covers unfair practices urder terms of the trade commission act. Persistence in them will prompt eourt action. Disregard of the second group would not constitute violation of statutory law, but “are considered by the in- dustry to be unethical, uneconomical or otherwise objectionable.” These are described as “not necessarily pun- ishable under law.” Loss Leaders Forbidden. In the second category was a rule, | termed new to commission practices, | forbidding “loss leader” sales. These are sales of some articles at a loss with the intention of attracting busi- ness in other lines. Officials conceded court tests would be needed to insure enforcement of this section. The old N. R. A. tobacco codes per- mitted fixing retail prices all along the line and the regulation of dis- counts. The retail tobacco code held loss leaders illegal, and N. R. A. ac- tually fixed the retail price of cigar- ettes. No such regulation is attempted by the commission. Some 20 industries, mostly compar=- atively small, now are negotiating for Trade Commission codes. Officials were doubtful that many industries would seek labor provisions from N. R. A. Such provisions must include | the controverted section 7a, guaran- teeing collective bargaining rights to labor. NAVY YARD EMPLOYE 33 YEARS SUCCUMBS - | Johnson Hardy, Retired, Dies at| 68 After Six-Month Illness. Burial Tomorrow. Johnson Hardy, retired quarterman of the Navy Yard and a lifelong | resident of the District, died yester- day at his home, 3730 Benton street, | after an illness of six months. Hei was 68. Funeral services will be held at the residence at 2 p.m. tomorrow. Burial will be in Congressional Ceme- tery. Mr. Hardy was born on Capitol | Heights, where his father, the late Henry Hardy, was one of the first | school teachers of the District. An employe of the Navy Yard for 33 years, Mr. Hardy was known for | devising a way of making training | circles for guns in one piece. He | was retired in 1932. Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Jane Mason Hardy; four sons, Harry E., Johnson D., James W. and Charles A. Hardy; three daughters, Mrs. L. E. Cookman, Mrs. J. R. Sisson, Oxon Hill, Md., and Mrs. Harvey G. Gray, Chester, Pa., and a sister, Mrs. Robert ‘W. Oxley, Poolesville, Md. SRS TAX USE CHANGE FOUGHT The Advisory Board of the Keystone Automobile Club has adopted a reso- lution opposing any change in the present District policy of applying gas- oline tax funds exclusively for the maintenance and construction of high- ways. The resolution was forwarded ,to the Commissioners. It pointed out that the motorist is entitled to the benefit of the gasoline tax fund because he pays, in addition, - one-cent Federal tax on gasoline, a Federal tax on lubricating oils, the fee for license tags, the personal prop- erty tax and the drivers’ permit fee.

LAUREL, Md., September 30— Playing penny-ante is no offense in Southern Maryland, « Police Court aludxc George B. Merrick ruled to- ay. Taking a liberal, attitude in the case of three young men arrested at Laurel last week on charges of violat- ing the gambling law by playing that game, the judge acquitted them with the remark he probably would have done the same thing himself. “Southern Maryland is famous for its card games, everyhody plays them,” the judge remarked. “There may have been a technical violation, tat I do not feel justified in convicting these men,” he added. The accused, William Harrison, Beverly Howland and Ira Harding, sald dfter their trial that the 40 cents which police confiscated when they broke up the game would be contributed to the Laurel Welfare Association. ‘The arrest of the trio, which closely followed an order by the county commissioners for police to investi- gate reports of the newest activities at the La Fontaine establishment on Bladensburg road, aroused the pop- ulace of Laurel and the court room was crowded this morning for their trial.” Policeman Howard Slater, who made the arrest, said he saw the men play- ing cards inside a garage as he walked down the Baltimore Boulevard. THEFT OF FIVE CHICKENS BRINGS 150-DAY TERM By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va. September 30. ~—“Thirty days for each chicken,” said Judge James R. Duncan in sen- tencing Buster Harris, 26, colored, in Police Court today for theft of five chickens from a henhouse in the 40¢ block of North Royal street Friday night. Thirty times five is 150, so Harris will spend Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year as a guest of the city. MOVIE FIRMS ON TRIAL Anti-Trust Hearing Due in St. Louis Today. ST. LOUIS, September 30 (P)— Trial of 10 film companies and six of their executives on charges of con- spiracy to violate the Sherman anti- trust law was docketed in Federal Judge George H. Moore'’s court today. ‘While the issues directly affect only three St. Louis theaters, to which the defendants are alleged to have refused first-run pictures, the case has at- tracted the attention of the entire movie industry. Department of Jus- tice counsel said the result may have an important bearing on film booking practices throughout the country. The companies to go on trial today are Warner Bros, Paramount, First National, R-K-O and various of their affiliates. - — Book on Birds.
