FOR VIOLATION OF
ANTITRUST Law
Minnesota Concern Is Fined Ten
Thousand Dollars.

The Creamery Package Manufactur.
ing company, an Illinois corporation,
of Owatonna and Mankato, was fined
$4,000 for a violation Of the state
antitrust law by Judge Childress of
the Steele county district court. The
amount Of the fine had been deposit.
ed with the clerk of the court and
the sentence means its conf1scation
by the state.
The company was convicted of vio-
lating the antitrust laws, the case
being a precedent for proceedings I'M
der the states antitrust act terminal
ing with the cases against the Peo-
Pies Ice company of St. Paul and
the Minneapolis Milk company.
The case was carried by the CON-
pany to the supreme court of the
United States and decision adverse
to the corporation handed down in
October.
Because the law provides that q
foreign corporation convicted of VIC.
lating it's provisions must be ousted
from the state the last legislature was
induced to modify this rule as applied
to this case.
A law was enacted providing that
the company might be readmitted, ii
ousted, provided it paid a fine not to
exceed $4,000, the amount to be de-
termined by the trial court.

-''Not only has the police depart.

forcement Of laws governing the So

vestigation leads us to the conclusion
that the police department gave pro.

and persons concerned in the illegal
sale of liquor, and shared in the

Attention is called to the report
made the common council by former

1918, stating there were 1855 hotels
in st. Paul and that of this number
none was considered immoral and
none sold liquor without a license.

tanned by the mayor and the board Of

long wished to withdraw from the di.

says statement issued by J. P.

Task Reluctantly Accepted.
"Most of these directorships we
have accepted with reluctance and
only because we felt constrained to
keep in touch with properties which
we had reorganized or whose securi.
ties we had recommended to the pub
lie both here and abroad.
IAN apparent change in public sen.
timent in regard to the directorships
seems now to warrant us in seeking
to resign from some of these connec-
ticns.
Indeed it may be, in view of the
change in sentiment upon the sub:
ject, that we shall be in a better posi-
ton to serve such properties and
their security holders If we are not
directors.
1--WE have already resigned from
the companies mentioned. and we ex'

from other boards upon which we
feel there is no special obligation to
