The East Side was particularly notice
able In this respect. While the majority
OF the saloons did their usual business
many were closed or operated cautiously,
and in several instances the saloons were
shut up and patrons were taken to
rooms above to be served.
In The Bronx the lid was not dis

ASK SCHIEFFELIN'S
HELP IN SUING HIM
Park 4 Sons Co., Seeking
5000 Damages, to Get
Drug Mans Testimony.
CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY

william j. Schieffelin. head Of the
Citizens Union, has been directed to tes-
~ before ex.Justlce Martin Slower as
referee in a suit brought by tho John
II. Park & Sons Company. retail drug
eists. against the wholesale drug arm
of Schleffelln Il CO. and a number OF
other wholesale and retail drug concerns.
The suit Is for 100000 damages for
alleged conspiracy. 1t has been pend
ing since 1897. Since that tim four
different law Arms have represented the
plaintiff. Testimony Of witnesses has
been taken in all parts OF the country.
The action is not yet ready FOR trial,
although IL is expected that the testi-
mony OF Mr.. Schieffelin will enable the
plaintiffs attorney to move for "A trial
soon.
The application for the order to ex-
anime Schieffelin recites the history OF
the litigation since 1897 and states that
It has been delayed by proceedings In
the Federal court. in which 1t was de-
cidcd in 1907 that the attempt OF the
defendants to control the drug trade was
unlawful. The testimony Of witnesses
has been taken constantly since 1910.
hut the evidence Is not yet complete,
Tit petition alleges hat Mr.. SchieYelin
and his firm and the other defendants
have sought to control the jobbing trade
in all sorts of proprietary articles and
to prevent the plaintiff from obtaining
such articles for sale for failure to
maintain the uniform scale OF selling
prices. Il IL alleged that after the pres
ent action was brought the defendants
extended their control over the retail
drug trade to compel the retailers to
unite with them in carrying out their
plans. 49,.
The plaintiff alleges hat Mr.. Schief-
felin is a material witness because his
Arm IL a member OF the National Whole
sale Druggists Association and that by
his testimony the plaintiff will be able
to prove q conspiracy TO prevent COM
petition and TO restrain trade. J. Is as
serted that he will be able to TESTIFY
that the means employed to maintain
prices were to punish all dealers
whether wholesale or retail. who were
guilty OF an infraction Of the
rules by refusing 10 sell them goods
IT is stated that the plaintln claimed
tn. right to establish Its own retail
prices, and that one result OF this actor
was the adoption OF more drastic plans
and resolutions looking TO the mainte
nance Of prices. aimed directly at tn
plaintiff.
The plaintiff expects to prove by Mr.
Schiefelln's testimony the pressure use'
on the plaintiff and other dealers. tn
order for his examination requires hin
10 produce all reports. lists OF dealers
circulars and letters received by tn
Schieffelip firm from the committee oil
proprietary goods Of the National Whole

gis,s, containing a list OF those witt

or ~selle,s. 1t is alleged that this lis
was prepared tn aid the defendants II
their efforts to keep the plaintiff from
being supplied with goods.
