"MOVIE" TRUST
NOT ELIMINATING
COMPETITION-DYER

New York, November 12-The so-called
moving picture trust. defendant In a
government suit, has not eliminated COM
petition, according to the testimony to-
day of Frank L. Dyer, president of the
General Film company, which with the
Motion Picture Patents company and
other firms and individuals, Is accused
under the Sherman law.
The General Film company said Dyer,
has network of film supply exchanges
across the country. "Our competitors
follow us wherever we CO." he declared.
Their competition is live, keen and Of
ten bitter. The Independent film eX-
changes often are located In the same
building with our offices, and frequently
they try to get offices on lower floors
in order to intercept our customers be-
fore they reach us on floors higher up.
Dyer said the company pays motion
picture actors and actresses as much as
$500 and $1,000 week. We make ridicu-
lous offers to get them to work for us,
he testified THE competition is also
keen for the work of playwrights. There
is open competition between us and the
Independent film exchanges. 1t is impos-
sible for us to unduly raise the price OF
films but we do get better prices than
the others as general thing"
