HOSIERY MILLS
MAY CURTAIL
MANUFACTURER rs. TO .HoI
MEETING NEXT WEEK TO
CONSIDER sTEP-TRADE
is DEPRESSED.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 19.--Manuu-
facturers OF hoisery and underwear in
all parts of the country are looking
forward with intense interest to the
annual meeting OF the National Asso-
citation Of Hosiery and Underwear
Manufacturers. which is scheduled to
meet in this city May 22 to 26 inclu-
sive. The unusual interest mani
tested is due to the peculiar
and highly unsatisfactory situa-
tion in the hosiery and under
wear manufacturing industry. The
material falling off in the demand for
the manufactured products has made
Il practically imperative for the man
ufacturers TO curtail the production.
But many of thhe manufacturers hesi-
tate to adopt this course unless all
the mill owners in the association a
gree to follow the same course. IL
is expected that the situation will
be thoroughly discussed at the meet
ing next week and IL is hoped that
a general agreement will be reached
among the members with n view of
reducing the production during the
present depression of the hosiery
trade.

Sensational Allegations Made In
Suit Filed Today Against So
Called Lumber Trust by
Attorney General
MANY DEFENDANTS ARE NAMED
Action Said to be Only First of Sew
eraI Planned by Department of
Justice Against Combina-
tons of Retailers.

New York, N. Y, May 19.-Sweeping
charges of a gigantic conspiracy to
maintain high prices, To blacklist con-
Germs not regarded as proper" I'm the
trade and to violate generally the
Sherman antitrust law, are made I'm
a government suit filed by Attorney
General Wlckersham in the United
states court here today against the
so-called lumber trust.
Trade organizations and more than
one hundred and fifty individuals are
named as defendants I'm this suit,
which may be the first of several plan
ned by the department of justice
against combinations of retailers i'm
staple commodities and necessaries of
life TO prevent the ultimate consumer
from buying anywhere except from the
local retailers.
The government suit is replete with
sensational allegations. and 1t is as
serted the builders and consumers of
lumber the country over are at the
mercy of the retailers organization in
different sections of the u. S.
This, the governments antitrust
suit, conforms TO the supreme courts
standard oil decision, in that 1t alleges
undue" and unreasonable" restraint
of trade of the consumer and manu-
facturer. II is the evident purpose of
the plea to conflne the charge largely to
that feature, small stress being
placed upon restraint of trade among
the conspirators themselves.
Wickersham and a special assistant
were more than year gathering evil
dence on which tod8y's suit IS based.
This evidence includes copies of al
legged agreements, blacklists and re-
ports of various organizations brand
log wholesalers and retailers, who
have dared to violate the rules of the
associations, as "Poachers." 'Maver-
icllA" "Scalpers" and "Illegitimate
dealers" TO whom short shrift,"
must he applied. The government
charges that by an elaborate system of
blacklsting not only individual con-
sumers but some of the largest Indus
trial corporations. have been prevent
ed from dealing directly with the
wholesalers.
II is believed that should the courts
uphold the governments contention
that It Is a violation of the Sherman
anti trust law TO prevent the ultimate
consumer from buying direct from the
producer other suits will be started
against combinations of retailers al
legged to be In control of the market
ing of many of the commodities of life,
The government asks Tor permanent
injunction restraining the defendants
from continuing the conspiracy
charged.

Railroads in Central Passenger
Association Doing Interstate
Business May Charge
Higher Fares
AT LEAST UNTIL MAY |, 1912
interstate Rate in Territory in Cues
ton is Two and Half Cents Per
Mile, While lntrastate PATIO {
is Two. q.

Washington. ID. c., May 19.-The
railways OF the Central passenger as
sociation territory, including Ohio. In
DIANA Illinois and Michigan, are per-
mitted by an order of the interstate
commerce commission issued today to
exact higher passenger fares for in
terstate business where the legisla-
ture or state commission have estab-
lished the two-cent mile rate. Carriers
in such instances are forced by the
state railroad commissions or legis-
latures to apply on all intrastate pas
senger business a maximum fare OF
two cents a mile. This would result.
through the application OF the long and
short haul provision Of the law, in
maximum rate Of two cents a mile
throughout the territory In this same
territory the interstate rate Is 2iz
cents a mile. The commission ex-
presses the opinion that "the present
condition of charging cne rate a mile
for intrastate traffic and higher rate
formed is the same in both
cases is indefensible" The commits
sion says no proof was offered Of the
insufficiency of the bwo-cent rate TO
yield fair returns to the carriers but
the carriers had asked for time in
which TO prepare necessary data. The
commission permits carriers therefore
to exact a higher rate until May /,
1912.
The interstate commerce commission
held today that "in absence of routing
instructions the shipper is entitled TO
have the shipment moved via the
cheapest available route" The prin-
ciple had been in dispute for years.
and is now determined finally by the
commission.
Des Moines Iowa, and Rock Island,
Peoria and Chicago, are grossly ex-
cessive, unreasonable and illegal"difty-
three business concerns of Des Moines
complained today to the interstate
commerce commission against the
Rock Island and Milwaukee and Bur
lington railways II is averred that
greater charges for shipment are ex-
pected for shorter than for longer
hauls over through routes from At
lantic seaIboard points to Des Moines
and the commission is urged to adjust
the alleged inequalities in the freight
charges.
