There Ia nothing In the Sherman law

taller who cuts the price Of the manu-
%facturer's goods. according TO n decision
handed down by the United States Cir
cult Court Of Appeals yesterday In the
equity suit brought by the Great At
lantic and Pacific Tea Company against
the Cream OF Wheat Company. The
opinion was written by Judge e. Henry
Lacombe and concurred In by Judges
Coke and Rogers.

Judge Lacombe, where the selection OF

The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company brought Its suit In equity to
compel the Cream of Wheat Company 10

to enjoin the defendant company from
sending to the trade requests not TO sell
Cream OF Wheat to the plaintiff COM
pany. The defendant company contended
that Il had decided to sell It's goods only
10 wholesalers thereafter. Judge Charles
NJ. Hough % the United states District
Court dismissed the suit last July and
the plaintiffs appealed holding that the
defendant company was discriminating
against them because they sold its prod
ucts at a reduced price. TIT enort or

The suit was one OF the first OF It's

Court will. in the opinion OF Joseph j.

Judge Lacombe In his opinion dis

the remark thai the Cream of Wheat

that the lauded poor would gladly

that the former do not realize that

Better to place an undue emphasis
