Phitippine Mahogany Name Case Appealed to United States Supreme Court -PhilippiRe Government Joins in Appeal

The now famous Philippine Mahogany Case has been appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States and will go to that highest tribunal for final adjudication.

The Philippine Government has joined in the appeal, and is going through with the case with the regularly named defendants.

Has Sawn Veneers For Fifty Years

Talk about "Cobbler, stick to your last," there is a man named J. H. Williams in the employ of the 'Western Hardwood Lumber Company, at Los Angeles, who has been sawing veneers for morl than fifty yJatr, and considers it second to no profession on earth. He is seventy odd years of age. He has a son helping him saw veneers for the same concern.

The Supreme Court will not pass on the matter until they reconvene in the coming fall, and there is much likelihood that no decision will be reached for perhaps a year.

In the meantime the Philippine Mahogany Association urges all Philippine Mahogany people to continue the use of the term, and continue to exploit it until such time as it may be finally forbidden by larv, the understanding being that until the United States Supreme Court settles the matter, there is no legal reason for not using the name.

With the Philippine Government joining in the appeal the defendants feel doubly certain that the Supreme Court will grant them a full re-hearing and review of the case.
