Probability that the AAA may be
ruled unconstitutional, bringing down

In some quarters it was believed
the stage was being set for a separ

The fact that the future of the to

boosted the price of that commodity
to a level where procedure are enjoy
ing better pricse than in any recent
year, is under consideration, became
known yesterday.
Representative Hancock, Democrat,

was silent about the meeting but ad
