Albert Ricci, Alleged to Be
Instigator OF Garbage Strike,
Arrested for Hating Driver

Albert Ricci of 1865 Commerce
street, whom the Marrone foreman
charged with being the prime agi-
tator in the scavenger strike which
was ended last night, was arrested
today by Plainclothesmen Lloyd and
w. Anderson, of the Second Precinct,
for interfering with a driver on one
of Marrone's wagons collecting ashes
on Garside street.
Ricci is the proprietor of a saloon
near Marrone's Adams street stables,
which the police closed during the
strike troubles. He was authorized
by the Essex Trades Council to assist
it's representatives in looking after
the interests of the strikers.
Ricci drove a buggy along Garside
street today in pursuit of an ash
cart driven by Frank Visciuto, of 222
Hecl<el street, Silver Lake, who
whipped up his horses in an attempt
to escape. The two wagons sped over
Garside street for nearly, six blocks,
and several pedestrians narrowly es-
capped injury. The wagons were
stepped by Lloyd and Anderson and
Inspector Del Deao, of the Marrone
forces, and Ricci was placed under
arrest
At the Second precinct station Ricci
said that he was going to find out
whether Visciuto was union driver.
Lieutenant Purcell warned him
against interfering with drivers and
accepted a deposit of $25 as a guaran-
tee of his appearance in the Second
Precinct Court tomorrow morning.

GARBAGE STRIKE
IS ENDED UNDER
. NEW AGREEMENT
Transfers and Helpers Return
to WOrk-T0 Have Thir-
teen-HOur Day.

A compromise brought the garbage
strike to an end today. Regular col
lections were resumed by Joseph
Marrone, the city scaYenger contract
or, with his usual force of men.
The agreement on which the settle
ment is based will run for about
two years and will terminate with
the conclusion of the three-year con-
tract entered into between the city
and Marrone on January 1, 1913.
The compromise arrangement calls
for thirteen-hour working day, for
$l.75 for drivers and $1.50 for helpers.
Overtime Is to be paid at the rate
of 1215 cents per hour. Albert Ricci,
of Adams street whose saloon oppo-
site the Marrone yards was closed
yesterday under the terms of the
settlement becomes the stable stew
ard to see that both sides adhere to
their agreement. The agreement was
signed by Mr.. Marrone and George A.
Colby, business manager of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Team
sters, Local No. 484.
Commissioner Charles P. Gillen, who
is chairman of the street committee
of the Board of Works, said today:
"I am glad the strike Is settled and
that there was no more rioting than
occurred when the New York strike
breakers were brought over here. l
was confident that Marrone would
reach a settlement with his men, but

made preparations for the street de-
partment to make the collections If
the strike had been prolonged"

Works has the power to take it away

work in the most satisfactory man
ner, you may depend upon that.
"T am perfectly satisfied with the
way things worked out. We have
good men and 1t was only a few of
the disconnected ones who stirred up
trouble. The drivers we have know
the routes, and we are paying them
more than they were ever paid be-
fore. I am grateful to the police and
citizens for their cooperation during
the strike
big Bill Edwards, local super
intendent for Mr.. Marrone, said
There isn't a city in the country
that has better service than Newark,
but every city is more or less ham
pered in the winter. We want to use
Newark men as far as possible" 2
The four men arrested yesterday
for participating in disturbances
during the strike were arraigned be-
fore Judge Hahn in the Third Pre-
cinct Court today and dismissed
with a reprimand. Through one of
the foremen, Joseph Marrone, the
employer of the men, asked that the
charges against them be dismissed.
The men are Ralph Gavino, of S05

POSTAL SAVINGS DEPOSITS
SLIGHTLY INCREASED HERE

Although reports from the postof-
fee department at Washington are
that the postal savings deposits have
taken a big jump within the last few
weeks due 90 the European war re-
tarding the transportation of money
20 many foreign countries. the ~luth
Bend postal savings department has
noticed very small increase in de-
posts Orders were received by the
South Bend office Wednesday not to
issue money orders for Belgium. Aus
tria or Egypt. The Japanese govern
ment has requested that the money
order business with that country be
stopped FOR "a time according TO dis
patches from Washington. but the
local office has received no nOtifica-
ton 81 such action.
To is stated at the South Bend post
office that there has been several new
accounts opened during the present
month but il is believed that very
few OF these are as a result OF the
war. The increase was expected dur
ing the present month and it is be-
Heved that the deposits viii be above
those OF July.

HARVESTER TRUST
is DISSOLVED IN
MINNESOTA CASE

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONED
through w c. Lane. New York
banker
That the case involved no question
of over capitalization was made clear
by the court
Here Is Decision.
After citing portions of the decision
in the cases Of the American Tobacco
company. the Dupont De Nemours
and company and the Standard Oil
company, on the question as to what
constitutes restraint of trade, reason
able and unreasonable, the decision
reads in part:
We think it may be laid down as
a general rule that if companies could
not make a legal contract as to prices
or as 20 collateral services, they could
not legally unite and as the company )
named did in effect unite the sole
question is as TO whether they could
have agreed on prices and what col
lateral services they would render
when their companies We're all pros
porous and they jointly controlled so
TO 50 per cent of the business in that
line in the United States. We think
they could not have made such q
statement
IF the five companies which form
ed the international had been set and
their combination has been essential
TO enable them to compete with large
corporations in the same line, then
their uniting would in the light not
have been in restraint of trade but in
the furtherance of it; but when they
constituted the largest manufacturers
of their articles in America if not in
the world, and held Jointly about so
10 50 per cent of the trade and two
at least of the companies forming the
com binatlOn were prosperous, their
combining was. when similarly viewed,
an unreasonable restraint of trade.
If the business of the separate COM
panies combining was unsuccessful 1t
could be plain that their combination
was reasonable in view of the rule of
reason as proclaimed by the supreme
court but il is conceded that McCOr-
mick and the Deerins companies had
established reasonable successful and
prosperous businesses 50 that a ques-
ton is eliminated.
Restraint is Alleged.
There is no limit under the Amer
lean law 10 which business may not
independently grow and even cOmbi-
nation of two or more businesses, If II
does not unreasOnably restrain trade,
is not illegal. but il is the cOmbina-
ton which unreasonably restraints
trade that is illegal and if the parties
i'm controversy have so or SO per cent
of the American business and by the
com biuation of the companies all
competition is eliminated between the
constituent parts of the animation
then il is restraint of trade within the
meaning of the statutes under all the
decisions
The suit was initiated by the Taft
administration against the harvester
trust. Atty. Gen Wickersham enter
ed into negotiations with the harvest
er company for its voluntary disso-
luton. An agreement could not be
reached. The matter was carried over
into the present administration and al
ter an investigation it was decided to
file suit Atty. Gen. McRcynoldS
made the closing argument in behalf
of the government in the case here.
