the bill he was staggered by its pro-
visions. I belonged to the school whir?: has
believed in the law of supply and de-
mil ml." he said "but It now Is ob-
vious that the law of supply and de-
mand will not meet this situation.
The demand Is far greater thnn the
supply and the demand will continue.
Hoarders can command any price
they please. There Is a new situation
to which my old beliefs cannot ap-
ply." An attempt by Representative
Scott of Iowa to inject a gasoline and
fuel oil amendment Into the bill
failed but Representative Lewis said
one would be added later.
NEWS PIRATES BEATEN
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
International News Service Is
Permanently Enjoined From
Stealing Stories.
NKW YORK June 21. The I'nited
States circuit court of appeals today
granted the full prayer of the As-
sociated Press In Its case ngalnst the
International News Service nnd di-
rected the district court to Issue an
Injunction In accordance therewith.
In reviewing the facts of the case the
court gays:
"The writ In question (reduced to
Its lowest terms) restrains defendant
from (1) procuring any agent or em-
ploye of plaintiff or any of its mem-
bers to give or to permit defendant
to take for b consideration or jther-
wlse any 'news' received frotu or
gathered for plaintiff and from using
or selling any 'news so obtained.' The
Injunction as granted also (2) enjoins
defendant from procuring any news-
paper represented by a member of
plaintiff from violating any agree-
ment established by charter or by-
laws of plaintiff. Defendant alleged
us prior 'he Issuance of the writ
ubove outlined."
Frank It. Noyes. president of the
Associated Press explains te signifi-
cance of the decision as follows:
"The broad effect of this decision
Is to establish tho right of the Asso-
ciated Press and of every other news
gathering agency to enjoy the fruit of
Its Industry expenditure and enter-
prise. The Injunction against the se-
curing of our news by corruption of
employes nnd by surreptitious theft
required of course only proof that
these means were being employed
but the concern thus enlolntri con-
tended that after Associated Press
news was printed In one paper or
placed on one bulletin board all right
of property vanished and that It could
he freely taken and sold In competi-
tion with the Associated Press and
with Individual members who had
paid for Its original gathering. Greatly
to our satisfaction the court has de-
cided that such "a contention Is sub-
versive of fundamental Justice."
