This gas question applied to the com.

even II the company has a legal right

Some Talk Of Fight.
While there Is a community OF In.
terest between the Consolidated Gas
Company, the New Amsterdam Gas
Company, the Mutual Gas Light Com
pany, the Standard Gas Company, the
Northern Union and the Central Union,
some lawyers holding an advisory ca
pacity toward the minor companies hold
that the decision of the United States
Supreme Court applies only 20 the Con-
solIdated. officers of the minor SOM
panies are considering the advIsabilty
OF going right along on the dollar basis
and lighting the question through the
courts.
Such a move would he radical In the
extreme and interests allied with the
gas monopoly are strongly opposed to IT,
The more far.seeing OF the capitalists
interested say that this Is not the proper
time for a show OF defiance OIL the part
OF public service corporations. especially
Ms the general belief is that the Con.
solldated Gas Company controls the
minor companies which are trying to
sneak out OF the sO-oent rate on tech.
nlcality.
To show that there is community
OF interest between all the gas com.
panles. Mr.. Sterling. the lawyer for
the Consolidated, Is on the directorate
OF all the minor companies except the
Mutual. But in the directorate OF the
Mutual are Anthony n. Brady, William
Rockefeller and Fl. E. Cavity, directors
OF the Consolidated.
