Government Charges That Retailers

Trade by Attacking Mail

CHICAGO, Jan 10. Details of the
business of Montgomery Ward and
Company mail order house. were re-
fused both to the government and to,
the defense In the investigation into
an alleged lumber trust in process
here. Ira A. Thompson, head of the
houses building material department
since 1908, refused to tell the volume
Of business done by his department;
whether 1t had Increased or diminish
ed since he became manager; wheth-
er it had decreased in the last year
and Of whom the departments obtainA
its stock. In each case Thompson
said that to give such information
would injure his house. and in the
last case he added that it might in
Ijure the firms supplying him. Thomp-
son came here from Evansville, Ind.
Thompson said that his depart
ment had been hampered most by
retail dealers in obtaining stock. He
said at one time only one manufac-
turer OF sash, doors and blinds in the
country-the Roach and Musser Com
pany, Muscatine, Iowa--would sell to
him, and that that company had TAX
en- advantage Of the situation. The
reason manufacturers gave for not
selling Montgomery Ward and Com
pany, he said, was that they feared TO
lose their trade with retailers. Ths
charge of the government Is that
through their associations and publ
cations. the retailers have combined
to restrain trade by hampering mail
order houses.
Thompson said that his department
had been flooded by fake estimates
that he supposed came from compe.-
ing retailers in this section.
The defense made material of his
testimony that while the mail order
house sold practically everything used
In small cities and competed with prac-
ticaliy every retailer in the middle
west in every department of his busi-
ness, it owned no property outside Of
Chicago, except timber lands in the
northwest.
Thompson said that James Gould,
of the Gould firm in Oshkosh. wis.
Earl Morgan of the Morgan Manufac-
turing Co, same city; Samuel Whit
burn. Goshen, Ind. and other firms
had refused to sell to him because he
said, they feared to antagonize the

LONDON, Jan. 10.--Should Turkey

Conditions were practically in the
same shape this morning as they were
when the house adjourned last night
at 6:30 o'clock.
The first ballot of the morning, the
twenty-fifth, showed no material
change over the twenty-fourth. What
changes there were were due to alb
sentees.
A rumor was started before the
opening of the morning session that an
effort would be made to put Hubbard
over by a combination of the wet and
dry issues. Nothing came of it.
Leaders denied that any effort was
being made to draw President elect
Wilson into the fight. The activity OF
Sullivan and National Committeeman
Poeschenstein had led to a report
that federal patronage was to be used
in conjunction with state patronage in
effecting final deal. This also was
denied by the leaders directly inter
