B. Peticolas of this city expresses
himself in favor of the antitrust law
recently enacted and more recently
gone into effect. He is satisfied that
no one who is not a member of a trust
need have any worry over or fear of
violating the law inasmuch as they
might buy goods of a trust, but not
that the trust may be benefited, but
because of a personal advantage.
That any one may buy from a trust
because they can buy nowhere else or
because they may buy there cheaper

touch them. The law" he holds, lis
aimed exclusively at officers and en-
ployes of trusts who knowingly do the
