today signed a decree W the bath tub
case. The decree will be sent to ]. g.

Announce the same in that city Monday.

The Judgment holds in part, that the
defendants In the manner set forth in
section 40 Of the goyernorments petit
ton. have entered into and are engaging
in a combination in restraint of trade
and commerce among the several states
in sanitary enamelej ironware and have
ATTEMPTED and are attempting to monop-
!olize trade and commerce in said ware
in violation Of the act of congress to
Iprotect trade and commerce against un-
lawful restraint and monopolies. The
fourth paragraph OF the decree holds
that the "so-called" Manufacturers IL
cense agreements and jobbers license

the means adopted by the defendants

and purpose OF said unlawful combina-
ton in restraint of interstate trade and

The decree is not to be construed so
as to prevent the owner or owners

Cars to Suit Taste of Po-
lice President

BERLIN, Nov 25-By issuing an or
dinance regulating the colors of automo-
biles, Herr Won Jagow, the police-presi-
dent of Berlin, has once more given
proof of his ceaseless devotion to his
arduous Office. Petrol-driven autos are
to be painted chestnut brown, with vari-
Gus bright red stripes, while those driv-
en- with electric power are henceforth to
be of an ivory color. with narrow black
stripes.
One Of the most pleasing features of
this busting city is the Kaleidoscope OF
color presented by the motley rows of
'taxis" which are in all tints to suit
owners and various tastes-blue, red,
yellow, orange. gray, green, adorned oc-
casionally with flowers and arabesques.
But the wealth of color has doubtless
vexed the stern eye OF the police-presi-
dent, who wishes the city over which ne
rules to have a sedate and sober look.
His right to govern the traffic and to IL
cense the automobiles is, of course, in
disputable; but his latest decree is re-
garded as an unreasonable presumption.
Fortunately, however, automobile owners

pense, as they nave to give their cars an

mands, declaring that general business
conditions did not warrant any increase
in operating expenses. The local unions
being unable to reach an agreement
appealed to the officers Of the interna-
tional unions, who came TO Chicago and
yesterday presented the case to Presi-
dent Nudge and Vice President Melcher
in a final attempt to obtain further con-
cessions.

their appeal and today sent letter to
