HEAR ARGUMENT
In POWDER SUIT
Judge Archibald. at Scranton,
0VerruIeS DemurferS Of
Three Companies

SCRANTON. Dec. 1s.-Judge Arch
bald, in the Federal Court yesterday
overruled the demurrer hted by three
powder companies to the Governments
bill Of complaint which includes them
as defendants with SO other corpora
tions in the so-called Powder Trust
litigation.
Thirty-three of the 36 companies
have entered appearances for triaa
the exceptions being the Austin Pow
der Company, Of Cleveland; the Eqbit-
able Powder Company, of Illinois. and
the Peyton Chemical Company, of
California. Their contentious are that
the so-called trust does not own a
majority of their respective capital
stocks and consequently does not dom
mate and control their business, as
charged in the Governments bill of
complaint.
The attorneys for the defendant
companies argued that she bill OF COM
plant made No SPECIFIC charges against
them; that the DUPONT Company, the
alleged parent company, only held a
minority of their stock, that the Court
had no jurisdiction in the case. and
that the arguments brought forward
by the government attorneys were
founded on conclusions, not on facts
revealed The lawyers for the pow
der company further protested against
tho admission and relevancy of all
the paragraphs in the bill.
James Scarlet, attorney for the
Government, declared that every para
graph in the bill showed that there
was a conspiracy; that there
was a com hination to restrain trade;
that the combination had been doing
50 for number of years; that these
were facts which the Government in
tended to prove.
He said that the powder company
had a capital of $30,O0O,000. and that
il controlled or manufactured So per
cent. of the powder and explosives
manufactured in the United States.
Judge Archibald in overruling the
demurrer said that il woald not be
appropriate for him, on the threshold
of the case, to throw out the bill of
complaint. The allegations that were
made, he said, were such as present.
ed themselves to his judgment as suf-
fcient to sustain the bill of complaint.
The defendants would be given an
opportunity at the trial to contravene
them If they were not facts. Charges
of this kind could not be specifically
detailed in a bill of complaint. he
further ruled. The three companies will
now have to appear as defendants.
The defendants were represented by
A. L. Humes, James NJ. Townsend
and Frederick Seymour, OF New York,
and johnson & johnson, of Cleveland,
while David 7. Marvel, of Whining
ton, was present as representative
of the dupont Company.
Associated with Mr.. Scarlet on the
Governments side was John p. Nields,
United states Attorney of Delaware.
