VAST PROFITS OF FILM
TRUST ALLEGED IN SUIT
U. S. Attorney Says 10 Manufac-
turers Made 1900 Per Cent in 1911.

Edwin p. Grosvenor, special assistant
to Attorney General Gregory, in making
the Anal argument in the Governments
dissolution suit against the so-called
moving picture trust, revealed to Judge
Dickinson, In the United States District
Court today, the amazing profits derived
by the General Film Company, an ad-
junct of the alleged combine, after It
had forced competing exchange dealers
out of business. OF the 116 competing
exchanges before the formation of the
General Film Company only one survives,
he said. Sixty-elght were absorbed by
the General Film Company, and the rest
were compelled to go out of business be-
cause of the unreasonable restrictions In
the licenses issued by this constituent
to the alleged trust.
In the first IS months of its existence
the General Film Company expended
more than S1,00O.O0O for the purchase of
independent exchanges, more than 1,0OO.-
900 more to manufacturers, producers
and exhibitors In the combine. and paid
7 per cent. on it's preferred stock and 12
per cent. on the common to its share
holders. on an investment of $4,000 each
10 manufacturers made a profit of 1900
per cent. in 1911. Mr.. Grosvenor said.
1t cost Lewis NJ. Swaab. an exchange
dealer OF this city, $40 minute for 10
minutes, Mr.. Grosvenor declared, for
agreement relating to the time for the
release of films. Swaab had a requisi-
tion from n Baltimore exhibitor for
films to be produced before noon. In
order to fill the order, Swaab was obliged
to release the films at 7:50 n. m. to catch
the o'clock train for Baltimore. The
hour set by the General Film Company
for the release of Aims was 8 ocloch.
For violating the provisions of his license
agreement Swaab was fined 500 by the
under the penalty of
having his supply curtailed II he failed
to pay the penalty.
Isn't that an arbitrary interference in
interstate commerce with the rights OF
an American citizen?" demanded the
lawyer.
Mr.. Grosvenor urged that the Govern
ment had proved that every act OF the
was intended to obtain a
and restrain trade,

MAYOR RECEIVES
BILL TO PROVIDE
RELIEF FOR POOR
Expected to Sign $4,000
Appropriation, Though
Opposed to Principle Of
City Almsgiiving.

Mayor Biankenburg received this morn.
ing for his signature or veto the trans
fer bill passed by Councils yesterday that
carries an appropriation of $4,000 for re-
lief Of the oity's unemployed. II the
Mayor approves the bill. the money be.
comes Immediately available
BY the provisions Of the relief meas
urs, the $4,000 Is to be expended by the
Department Of Health and Charities
through the Emergency AID COMMITTEES
Although It is expected that the Mayor
will sign the bill. such action is not con-
sldered as certain.
The attitude Of the Mayor from ths
start Of the agitation to relieve the un.
employed by municipal funds has been
regarded as more in favor of rellsf
through existing charitable Organizations
supported by private contributions, which
could be increased to meet the present
emergency,
Indication OF that sentiment on the part
of the Administration forces was evil
denced in Common Council yesterday
when Robert d. Drlpps, Of the 22d Ward
floor leader of the minority Independents
spoke against the appropriation as a
measure creating n bad precedent. one
that would attract dependents to tbs
city, increase the burdens of charity ana
cripple existing charitable Organizations
by leading their supporters to believe that
the city would meet the emergency ana
that private support was not essential
URGES EMPLOYMENT, NOT Aims
Mayor Blankenburg sent a message 10
Councils voicing his opposition to the
appropriation and urging Councils to Gre
ate employment for the idle men of the
city rather than render them the recip,-
ents of municipal aims. He advised that
Councils should leave the matter of alrns-
giving to the charitable organizations
that are supported by private contribu-
tlons.
The Mayor cited In his message action
taken along relief lines by % cities He
said: "It is evident that conditions in
other cities are about the same as in
Philadelphia. Some cities are proposing
to meet the problems OF unemployment
BY making special appropriations and
bond issues for immediate public work,
and by establishing municipal lodging
houses.
$50 far as have been able to learn. no
American city has as yet made a direct
money appropriation for outdoor relief.
The consensus OF opinion seems to be that
work, and not relief, Is what the unem-
ployed want and need''
Mrs, A. j. Cassatt. chairman OF the
Emergency Aid Committee, and Mrs. John
G. Groome, chairman of the home relief
division OF the committee, issued a state
ment yesterday indicating full confidence
that the committee would receive the ap-
preparation.

WANT TO EXCHANGE
AN OLD CAMERA FOR
AUTO? CAN BE DONE
Harry C. Turner Tells of
Remarkable Series of
Swaps Which Finally
Brought Him a Motorboat.

Have you an old secondhand box
camera that you would like to swap for
seven-passenger touring car in good
working order. or eight building lots or a
chugging motorbont on the schuylkill?
Impossible, you say?
Not bit OF 1t. It's been done right
here in Philadelphia.
Harry c. Turner. 5OS2 Knox street. Ger
mantown, came home one night and
looked with ennui at his box camera. Not
that It wasn't good machine, because
It was. II had originally cost S2S, and
was worth at least half that much. But
he was tired of 1t. The many pictures
determined to get rid of 1t.
He inserted small ad in the exchange
and-sale column of newspaper and sat
down and waited.
He didn't have long to wait. A few
days later a man with white elephant
came to talk business with him. The
white elephant was an organ. the tones
of which had begun TO weary the man.
Turner and the organ-owner swapped ele-
plants
GOT BICYCLE FOR THE ORGAN.
When the organs music began to pail,
Turner exchanged 1t for a bicycle. Then
he longed for music again, and bartered
with man who possessed phonograph.
The outcome was that Turner swapped
his bicycle for the talking machine, It's
outfit and S25 to boot.
That was not the end. Like Alexander
the Great. Turner longed for more worlds
to conquer. He continued putting ads in
the eXchange-and-sale column,
''I really became interested when I
got that photograph" said Turner, land
determined to work out the trading pos
sibilities to the end, although at first /
had only entered into II for amusement
81 traded the phonograph TO an Eng
lishman for three oil paintings. That was
the best deal 1 had made so far. When
man offered me eight building lots at
Anglesea for the masterpieces, 1 nearly
fell over"
The real estate. however, was not as
promising as II sounded, for the prospec-
tive buyer and the owner had to hire a
rowboat to make a tour OF inspection
Nevertheless, Turner assumed ownership
OF the island lots and cheerfully paid 5
for the transferenee.
AUTO HIS NEXT ACQUISITION
1t was a stroke OF genius not long
afterward, when he advertised the lots for
sale or exchange, a man and his wife
offered a seven-Dassenger Rainier autos
