Hat Board votes against Alberta retail codes
Medicine Hat chamber of commerce endorsed by unanimous vote opposed to any Alberta retail codes. HM Manning as government referee would enforce a master code slated for April. Forster argued codes ban unethical practices and would not raise prices, while the Consumers' League warned of possible legal challenges. An Edmonton advisory committee of merchants backed the plan as a cross-section of opinion.

Lionel Fisher, chief counsel for Hauptmann, says sufficient evidence exists to seek a new trial. Milne General Wilentz plans a statement on another reprieve as Hauptmann faces execution next Tuesday.
