SUED AS new ENGLAND
KINDLING WOOD TRUST
Standard Company Accused Of
Driving Competitor Out
Of Business.

CHARGES that the Standard Wood Com
pany OF 90 West street maintains an IL
legal monopoly In the kindlng wood in
dustry in New England are made in a suit
for $4,000 damages filed in the United
States District Court yesterday by Russell
ID. Bullock and Fred l.. Pearce. formerly
in business in Providence. n. L. as the
Narragansett Bundle Wood Company.
The defendants named are the Standard
Wood Company. Joseph W Blaisdell
president and Walter +. Blaisdell. Phllo
C. Blaisdell. Charles .. Blaisdell. An
drew u. Whyte and George r. Whyte, di-
rectors.
The Standard Wood Company. according
to the complaint. not only effected work
ing agreement with producers and re-
t2ilers so az to establish a monopoly In
Maine. New Hampshire. Massachusetts
Vermont and Rhode Island but also took
over the New England agency for the
Greene Manufacturing Company OF Brook
Ign, the only firm which manufactures
machines for bundling kindling wood
BY the terms of the contract between
the Standard company and the Greene
company. the complaint alleges the latter
bound itself not to sell machinery in New
England without the approval of the
Standard company
Unaware OF THESE NOUuitlOnS, the plain
tiffs say. they started in business in June
1905. intending to market In Rhode Island
kindlng wood which they produced In
Massachusetts. They encountered their
first difficulty. they say. when they were
unable to get machinery and were forced
to have the work done by hand or by foot
machines at great expense.
Next, they say, they discovered that the
Standard company had pooling agree
ment with certain shippers and retail
dealers who were bound by the agreement
to do business with the Standard company
exclusively.
Through the pooling OF profits, Il is al
legged. these retailers were able TO cut the
prices demanded by the Narragansett and
Bundle Wood Company In Rhode Island
and still share the excessive profits made
! by other members of the alleged combna-
I ton In districts where there was no com
petition.
The plaintiffs ask the Federal court N
award damages and also to enjoin the
Standard company from continuing its
| alleged agreements,

Management Wants New York's
Open Markets Made Permanent.

NEW YORK, September 16.-The
members of the open market commits
sion of Manhattan borough, through
whose labors four public markets were
recently established in an effort to re-
duce the price of foodstuffs, yesterday
adopted a resolution urging the city
government to make the markets per-
manent.
This action on the part of the city, it
was explained. would result in a gen.
eral movement on the part of the
farmers to offer their produce for sale
at the open markets rather than con-
tinue their contracts with dealers. The
commission will urge that the four
temporary markets be improved and
equipment installed to keep them open
during the entire winter season.
