sioii. The Senjite judiciary eominittec 

 recently reported a resolution autlioriz 

 in^j tlie appointment of a committee to 

 invest ifjiite trade conditions with a 

 view, anion;; other things, to establish 

 ing- the status of cooperative organiza- 

 tions as distiiis:uishe(l from illicit com- 

 binations in restraint of trade. 



The great educational, economic and 

 soci.al value of trade association work 

 is at ])resent somewhat underrated and 

 grave doubts have crept into the minds 

 of the ](ublic coiu'erning the real pur- 

 j>()ses of legitimate a.ss(U'iations, because 

 of the activities of a certain group or 

 class of associations engaged in ques- 

 tioniible jiractices. There is no doubt 

 that out of the Hardwood Lumber de- 

 cision, the iloover-Daugherty corre- 

 si.ondence, Mr. Jloover's recent trade 

 association conference, and the P]dge 

 bill, there will come some solution of 

 the (juestion as to the real functions 

 ;in(i jtowers of trade organi/ations 

 which, Ml-. IIoo\-,'r s.ays, ''liave been 

 well proven to be in jiublic interest." 



Provisions of Bills. 



The K,lf.e bill. Senate li.'iS,'., and its 

 '■"iiipaiiion by .Mr. McArtliur, U. H. 

 lll->t), ;ire lengthy measures. J'rovisions 

 of particular interest may be briefly de- 

 scribed as f(dlows:

 'lii'i'''! to tile with the commission: 



I. St;iteiiient of its general cliaracter

 '"■'I'ti' iif members, concerning ])ro<bic- 

 tioii. shipments, stocks on h.and, con- 

 tracts, prices, credit inforni.ation, or anv 

 other statistics resjiecting the trade. 



In less luadiibited by order of the fed- 

 eral tr.ade commission, associations may 

 distribute any statistics so filed .among 

 their nieinb(>rs. 



The commission would be given au- 

 thority to prescribe the method of filing 

 such informafion, .and f.ailure to comidy 

 with the or<ler of tli(> commission would 

 be made .a m isdeine.anor ]Minish.able by 

 fine or by line .and ini]irisoninent.
