Happy wall paper men (above) leaving
governments star witness, Frank
Hall (risht).
Cleveland, May 16.--Frank Hall. pro-
rTietor of the Peerless Five and Ten
Cent Wall Parer Co.. of Weehawken
n. j., is the chief witness for the gov
eminent in the trial of eight wall pa
per men in United States court here
on the charge of criminsny conspiring
in restraint of trade.
Hall testifies that the eight men met
In Cleveland on May so, 1910, and en-
tered an agreement to sell no wall
paper to five and ten cent stores. In
consequence of this agreement, he
says, he was seriously handicapped in
his effort to stock his store.
The eight men comprise a central
committee, representing the manufac-
turers' and jobbers' associations of
the country.
Hall related on the stand how he
had appealed In vain to several job
hing concerns for wall paper, and how
he had been refused in each instance.
One manufacturer promised to supply
him, he said, and later repudiated the
agreement.
II asked him why" Hall testified.
"and he said 1t was because the other
fellows had gotten after him. He said
]. B. Pearce, Of Cleveland, refused to
buy from him If he sold to me-"
Hall told how he had negotiated
with the Pittsburg Wall Paper Co.,
which first refused to supply him, and
then refused to do so unless he pur-
chased a $4,000 line and paid cash.

Day, and is being prosecuted by Dis
