GREGORY T0PROBE
B|GSTEEL MERGER
Department Of Justice Ready to
Investigate All Attempts at
Combination.

Attempts to combine able competing
businesses In the United states VIII DC
subject to the closest scrutiny ny inc
Department of Justice.
This Is in substance the attitude OF
Attorney General Gregory on mergers
and business combination.
The position Of the Department OF
Justice with respect to the proposed
combination OF independent steel manu-
facturers was made clear by the At
torney General last night In an official
statement. intimating that he believes
such combination to he illegal and in
violation Of the Sherman law. He says
likewise that regardless OF any other
considerations all proposed comblna-
tions that have the effect or preventing
competition will continue to be the sub
ject OF close scrutiny.
The statement makes Il clear that the
Attorney General has no Idea or abating
the prosecution Of the Steel Trust. "
and that other prosecutions waits only
on a smoothing out OF divergent opin-
ions OF the law by circuit courts. The
statement Is as follows:
ut cannot be questioned that II II was
lawful to unite through the United
states Steel Corporation. one half OF the
competitive units In the steel trade, the
other half would also have the right to
combine. And. of course. what could
be done in the steel trade could be
done In every other branch OF trade,
thus virtually putting an end to COM
petition.
But the decision Of the circuit
Judges OF the Third circuit In tho steel
case is not yet the established law. II
Is because Of just such consequences
that the Government Is appealing from
that decision. Besides. in the Harvester
case a court OF equal rank took a very
different view OF the law.
the question IL now pending before
the supreme Court In the meantime

competitors. affecting trade over a wide
area. VIII be subjected to the closest

Molly to fall in love.
When Molly told her father he was
furious. He stamped out of the house
to his neighbor's boundary, and, see
ing him at work among his trees,
shook his fist at him.
Don't you ever dare to cross my
line again, or I'll set the dogs on you,
and horsewhip you into the bargain!"

Honolulu, April 2s--A succession of storms has prevented any work be- ing done looking toward the raising of the sunkcn submarine F-4 for sev- eral days. In fact it is feared that much of what was accomplished has been undone, as but one of the four cables that were attached to the hulk remains unbroken, the balance having parted owing to the immense strain occasioned by the storms. The probabilities are that work will be re- newed tomorrow as the weather condi. tions are greatly imVruveH.

BAD MARKETS STOP FISHING

The recent sag in the price of fresh salmon at Seattle threatens to put stop to fishing in this region. Yesterdays quotation of six cents for reds and three cents for whites, indicates a market in such a condi- tion that it were suicidal to ship any more at this time. The absence of mild-curing on the Columbia will throw the fish usuall consumed by that industry on the fresh fish market, and is bound to keep it at such low point that our fish with the long haul will have hard time com peting with it.
