TRUST HAS RIGHT
TO MAKE TERMS
Judge LOchren Dismisses Suit
of Dealer Against Cont
mental Tobacco Co.

In the case of Joseph P. Whftwell,
local cigar and tobacco dealer,
against the Continental Tobacco COM
pany, known as the tobacco trust,
Judge Lochren in the federal court
yesterday dismissed the case on the
motion of the defendant, who de-
INJURED on the ground that the COM
plant did not show sufficient cause for
action.
The suit was brought under the
Sherman antitrust law, which gives a
dealer the right to bring suit for three
times the amount involved. Whitwell,
who had ordered $500 worth of goods
of the Continental Tobacco company
and refused them for the reason that
the goods would be delivered only on
condition that the buyer accept other
goods which he had not ordered, sued
the company for $500.
Judge Lochren held that the COM
pany had right to impose terms and
conditions under which it should dis
pose Of it's goods and that such action
was not in violation of the law. At
torney D. L. Lawler, who represented
the plaintiff, asked for a stay of pro-
ceedings, and the case may be carried
up to the higher courts.
