j. 5. AFTER
SHIP OWNERS
Suits For Dissolution of
Many Companies Filed in
Federal Court
TRAFFIC MONOPOLY ALLEGED
Action Is Result of Comprehen-
sive Investigation Into
Conditions.

lBy Special Leased Wire to New Mcxicam
New York, n. Y, March 30,-Suit
for the dissolution of certain steam
ship companies engaged in traffic be-
tween New York and the Far East by
way of the Suez Canal was flied by
the United States government in the
federal court here today The COM
panies are charged with pooling &
freight rates and rebating to concerns
who ship exclusively by their lines.
Announcement that the government
had filed an antitrust suit against
several big steamship companies
comes as the result of comrreher-
sive investigation into the general
steamship conditions Alleged pools
and agreements covering other phases
of American ocean trade are being
investigated. More than score of
big companies are named as defend
ants. Several British companies are
included in the list
The governments action was
brought under the Sherman antitrust
law and sets forth that by means of
agreement, pools and conferences
freight trade between the United
States and the Philippines, Chira
Japan and other countries of the Far
East has been monopolizel. An un
lawful combination and conspiracy
was alleged through two agreements
one cornering the eastward traffic
and the other the westward. 1t was
charged that the pooling agreements
were made at periodical conferences
in London, New York, Hong Kong and
Singapore.
Both the eastward and westward
agreements, it was alleged, divide the
traffic among the defendant compa
nies; that under the eastward agree
! ment, the lines do not compete at al
| for government contracts and the prof
its are divided; and that a deferred
rebate system maintained under the
westward agreement. Pools are sale
| to exist under both agreements irtC
which the earnings of the steamship
lines are placed after the deduction o.
certain expenses.

A night of velvet blackness, softly
Opaque, lay upon land and water. The
police launch, shuddering with the vi
brations of motor running at high
tension, sped down the silent reaches
Of Rangoon River like a hunted ghost.
She ran without lights, these having
been extinguished by COUGHS direc-
lions, regardless of harbor regulations
or danger. Happily the hour was late
enough to relieve them Of much fear
of trouble with other craft; the upper
reaches of the river were practically
deserted.
In the bow Couch was handling the
wheel with the nonchalance of one
from whom the river had no secrets
by night or day. To O'Rourke 1t seemed
no light task to pilot so slight a craft
