The commission was created by an act of Congress approved September 26, 1914, and was organized March 16, 1915. The present is the eleventh annual report to Congress. On June 30, 1925, the commission consisted of Vernon W. Van Fleet, of Indiana, chairman; John F. Nugent, of Idaho, vice chairman; Charles w. Hunt, of Iowa; Huston Thompson, of Colorado and William E. Humphrey, of Washington. CHANGES IN PROCEDURE AND POLICIES On March 17 and April 30, 1925, the commission announced changes in its rules of procedure and policies (see p.111). LIMITATION ON CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRIES The act making appropriations for the Federal Trade Commission, approved March 3, 1925, contained the following provision: That no part of this sum shall be expended for investigations requested by either House of Congress except those requested by concurrent resolution of Congress, but this limitation shall not apply to investigations and reports in connection with alleged violations of the antitrust acts by any corporation. On July 1, 1925, when the appropriations became available for the year, there were before the commission five certain resolutions of the Senate directing investigations and reports with respect to, viz, (a) wealth, debt, and taxation (see p.131); (b) bread and flour (see p. 112); (c) electric power and tobacco (see p.112); (d) trade associations (see p. 114); and (e) cooperative organizations (see p.114). In view of the provisions of the appropriation act above quoted the commission, being in doubt as to its power to proceed with certain of the foregoing mentioned Senate resolutions, requested the President to ask the Attorney General of the United States for an opinion in the matter. Messrs. Nugent and Thompson dissented and addressed a separate letter to the President (see p. 117). The 1 2 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION commission’s correspondence and the opinion of the Attorney General appear on page 112. The commission also requested an opinion from the Comptroller General of the United States. This correspondence and opinion appear on pages 128 and 129. Work on the inquiry with respect to national wealth, debt, and taxation was definitely discontinued as of June 30, 1925, it being the unanimous opinion of the commission that this resolution was not authorized under the Federal Trade Commission act or the appropriation proviso. Work with respect to the electric-power and tobacco inquiries was not discontinued but was carried forward in usual course, it being the unanimous view of the commission that this resolution was clearly authorized, except the second portion of the electric-power resolution relating to the expenditure of money to control the avenues of publicity on the question of public ownership. As to this portion the commission was of opinion that it was not authorized, and consequently no works was initiated with respect to it. Commissioners Nugent and Thompson dissented. REPORT BY DIVISIONS OF WORK The commission here reports its administration of the Federal Trade Commission act, approved September 26, 1914 (38 Stat. 717); delegated sections of the Clayton Act, approved October 15, 1914 (38 Stat. 730); and the export trade act, approved April 10, 1918 (40 Stat. 516). For the administration of these acts the commission has been organized into four major divisions, I. e., administrative, legal, economic, export trade, and the work of the year is reported under those captions in the order given. ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION This division conducts the business affairs of the commission. It is made up of several units such as are usually found in Government establishments, the functions of the units being governed largely by general statutes. These units are personnel, fiscal affairs, publications, docket, mail and files, supplies, stenographic, and library. The units are under the direct supervision of the assistant secretary of the commission. The character of work of each is indicated by its designation. PERSONNEL During the fiscal year there were several changes in the presidential membership of the commission, The term of office for which Mr. Nelson B. Gaskill was appointed expired September 25, 1924. He was given a recess appointment by the President, effective September 26, 1924, under which appointment he served, until February 24, 1925. The vacancy was filled, by the nomination by the President of Mr. William E Humphrey, of Washington, January 26, 1925, who was confirmed by the Senate February 23, 1925 (calendar day), and took oath of office and entered upon duty February 25, 1925. His appointment is for the term expiring September 25, 1931. Mr. Vernon W. Van Fleet was elected chairman of the commission for the year beginning December 1, 1924, succeeding Mr. Huston Thompson. Mr. John F. Nugent was elected vice chairman for the same period. On June 30, 1925, the total personnel of the Federal Trade Commission was 314, with a total salary of $857,500. Of these employees 175 were under civil service and 139 held excepted positions. Of 66053---25-----2 3 4 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION the total personnel (314) 160 were administrative employees, 87 attorneys, 32 economists, and 29 accountants. Excluding the commissioners and secretary, the average salary for all employees was $2,604.87.

  • The Ftc from 1925 to 1929
    THE WILLIAM HUMPHREY AND ABRAM MYERS YEARS: THE FTC FROM 1925 TO 1929 MARC WINERMAN WILLIAM E. KOVACIC* The Federal Trade Commission is one of the oldest U.S. experiments with a multi-member federal regulatory body. To formulate coherent programs and establish a respectable institutional brand, such bodies benefit from a basic level of consensus and internal harmony. Though uniformity of perspective within the board is neither attainable nor healthy, a core commonality of pur- pose and fidelity to collegiality are highly desirable. Attaining such common cause depends heavily on the backgrounds, philosophies, and personal sensi- bilities of the board’s members. During President Calvin Coolidge’s second term (and first full term), the FTC Commissioners shared neither the requisite commonality nor collegial- ity, as William Humphrey served as a protagonist in two successive splits among the Commissioners. The first, triggered by his arrival, was a partisan confrontation. The Republicans had controlled the White House and Congress since 1921, but first controlled a majority of Commission seats in June 1924 and first began to change the agency’s direction aggressively when Humphrey arrived in February 1925. Though Humphrey was not a Presidentially desig- nated Chairman (he arrived a quarter century before the President could desig- nate the Chairman1), he was a boisterous man and a clamorous public official. He dominated the agency for a time by the force of his personality, and he continues to dominate discussions about FTC history between his arrival in * Marc Winerman is an attorney in the Office of International Affairs at the FTC and for- merly an attorney advisor to Commissioner Kovacic.
