Man Wins Suit
From Producers
Supreme £ourt Holds Refusal
to Allow Pictures to Be
Shown Is Matter of In- #
terstate Commerce.
A movie war that affected a score
of Nebraska town* was settled by
the 1 nitcd Slates Supreme court In
fl decision yesterday. Dana Van
lictisen of Omaha, as attorney for
Charles Z. Binderup of Minden, Neb.,
# scored in the ruling that a 9orpora
tion operating branches over the
country is engaged in interstate com
merce. Mr. Binderup now will have
i hr* opportunity of returning to dis
i riot court in Omaha to fix before a
Jury the exact amount of his dam
ages front all the big motion pieffire
producers in the country.
Months ago Mr. Binderup brought
suit for fT-IO.OOO against motion pic
ture producers in Omaha federal dis
trict court, charging that through the
local organization known as the
Omaha Film Board of Trade, they
'had"conspired to boycott him and re
lused to send him pictures to show
in the 2S picture theaters which he
operates over Nebraska. The case
was tried by Judge AVoodrough, who
directed a verdict in favor of the
producers, on the ground that he
was dealing with a Nehraska organi
zation. ai^d that therefore there was
no violation of the interstate com
merce law.
The case met the same fate when
carried to the clrjpit court of ap
l>pals. Finally It was taken to the
supreme court In Washington.
The case was filed October 4. The
film producers were represented by
William M. Seabury of New York
jL etty and Arthur Mullen of Omaha.
Yesterday the supreme court reversed
the decisions of the lower courts when
it decided that dealing through
branch agents who sold to the con
sumer in the. same state did not dis
prove that they were carrying on in
terstate commerce, although the
branches were carrying on state com
merce.
“The Importance of this decision,
so far as I can determine from the
unofficial opinion X have seen, is
that the business of a nation-wide
concern which deals with persons in
one state by means of branch agen
cies, is still engaged In Interstate
commerce, even though by transfer
ring the product from branch ag’ncy
to ‘consumer’ is not Interstate,” Mr.
Van Dusen explained last night. “This
is the first time that evaders of the
Sherman antitrust hill have been
brought to justice.”

sponds to Appeal Made by
Farmers of Nebraska.
A “buy more potatoes-' committee

committee of the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce to urge. Nebraskans to buy

year s crop. Mr. Gillan estimates, will
run about 3,800,000 bushels. Still, the
farmers are having trouble in mar

ters asking the assistance of the

Something Worth
Remembering
We celebrate Abraham Lin
coln's birthday February
12th. but it is worth while
r e number
ing that it
was just 60
years ago—
N'ov ember
19th, 1S63—
that Mr.
Lincoln de
livered hia
famous ad
dress at
Gettysburg.
From the
i n c i dents
surrounding the
delivery of that address we
may learn that just as “the
greatest men are the simp
lest,” so simple things are
often the most important.
Mr. Lincoln was not expect
ed to he the orator of the
day. That was assigned to
Edward Everett. His silver
tongue 'had kept the heart
heats of his generation go
ing. His polished orations
are piled high in the archives
where the words of Ciceros
and the Demosthenes of the
world are preserved. Gettys
burg battlefield was to be*
come a national cemetery
and the dedicatory services
were fixed for November 19.
Invited to attend. Mr. Lincoln
was informed that Mr. Everett
would be the orator and that
the president would be expected
to formally set asi8e the grounds
for their sacred use with a few
appropriate words. Mr. Everett
spoke for two hours holding his
great audience In rapt attention.
Mr. Lincoln spoke for a very
few minutes. No one remembers
the two-hour oration of Everett,
but all the world remembers the
few minutes’ talk of Lincoln. In
deed. Mr. Everett himself wrote
to the president: "I should be
glad If I could flatter myself that
1 came as near to the central
idea of the occasion in my two
hours as you did in two min
utes.”
“The world will little note nor
long remember what we say
here,’’ said Lincoln. But the
world has remembered what
IJncoln said. It is so well re
membered that countless thou
sands of children and grown
folks alike have committed it to
memory, while its pure cotes
have served as an inspiration
wherever there are free men or
men struggling to be free, t'n
der his great responsibility, Lin
coin thovight Truth. Inspired,
only as right thinking can In
spire. Lincoln, at Gettysburg,
voiced Truth. Because It is
Truth. It lives: for Truth "resist
less as the tides” Is "eternal as
the stars.”
