LAUNDRY TRUST ALLEGED.
Charges Made In $1,000 suit Be-
tween Rival Organization

An allegation that Greater New York
is in the grip of a laundry trust was
made in the Supreme Court yesterday
when the oak Laundry. Inc, got an
order from Justice Ford directing the
Brooklyn Steam Laundrymen's Club.
Inc. to show cause on October go why "A
Judgment for $1,000 entered against the
oak Laundry on August 16 last should
not be set aside.
The petition, drawn by the law firm
Of Frank Moss. alleges that the judg-
ment was filed on notes for $500 and
$1,000 executed on June 20 last which
were without consideration The petit
ton states that for a long time there
were only two large steam laundries In
Greater New York which were not MEM
bers of the Brooklyn organization, and
1t was then represented to the petit
toners plaintiff. samuel Stamler. that
the Oak Laundry should join. The petit
TONER says that instead " being a
social organization. for which 1t was
Incorporated, the alleged club is a
subterfuge TO its organization for
the purpose of sitting competition. max.
ing possible increased rates and prevent.
ing one laundry from taking the trade
of another.
The oak Laundry was compelled to
execute the two notes upon Joining the
su-called club and with the notes the
Oak Laundry signed u confession of
judgment for he amount of the notes.
\ dispute arose between the OAK Laun-
dry and the Brooklyn organization In
July, as a result OF which the 81, 000
confession OF judgment was filed. The
oak Laundry asks that the judgmen,
be vacated on the ground that 1t re-
ceived no value for the notes.

do emergency or lifeboat work the law
requires him to understand orders for
such emergency or lifeboat service. The
practical effect of the language clause
still is to subject American ships, which
must have American officers, to the hope
less disadvantage Of competing on the
Pacific with japanese ships while EN-
ploying labor at wages Ave or six times
In excess of those paid Oriental seamen
n at a daily cost Of feeding four times
In excess Of their competitors.
Those affected by the discontinuance
of the transpaciic steamships of the Pa
cific Mail are its stockholders on the one
hand and shippers m the public gener-
ally on the other. The stockholders of
the Pacific Mall. including a large num-
Der of minority stockholders, for the
Southern Pacific owns but little more
than a majority OF the shares, have
unanimously concurred In the conclusion
of its managing officers that the require
ments of the seamen's bill left the COM
pany no alternative tina to withdraw its
ships from the Pacific Ocean. and sois
concurrence vas given before the sale
subsequently, made had been thought Of.
1t remains to be seen whether the other
parties interested-the shippers and the
public generally-can be persuaded to
pass by the obvious cause and ascribe
the disappearance OF Americans ships and
the monopoly OF the japanese on the Pa.
cifc Ocean to the stupidity OF the owners
OF American ships or to a self-destroy-
ing conspiracy formed by them for the
purpose OF discrediting the authors OF the

The Wright Aeroplane Company

II was said, will he added later.
Mr.. Manville is the new president of
the company. lie is a manufactures OF

and Mr.. Gibson is the treasurer. The
capitalization of the company is 81 ,o00.-
900. divided into shares of 500 each.
but II was limited nat this capital may
be increased.
One of the most significant points of
the deal is Orville Wright's status with
the company. Although he was not
elected 10 the directorate he will play
an important part In the company's
future. Unlike his brother Wilbur.
Orville Wright has little patience for
business. He has been known to let
chances for making thousands OF dollars
pass by UNDECIDED because he was more
interested In designing or improving his
machine than in exploiting II. The
change which makes II possible for him
to give his entire attention to improving
and inventing ~aeroplanes without any
business worries will be a welcome one
for him.

lulu Kruttschnitt, president OF the
Pacific Mail steamship Company. gave
out yesterday a statement in answer TO
the attack made upon the company by
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo IN
an address in Indianapolis wednesday.
lie reviews at length the efforts made
by the Pacific Mail through many years
to prevent legislation destined to drive
American shipping from the Pacific and
treats In detail the features or the
La Toilette %sesrnen's bill which forced
the company to sell its five biggest
vessels and retire from the shipping
trade.
I'VE quit simply because we could
not obey the law and live said Mr..
Kruttschnitt in giving out his state
ment.
Mr.. krutschnitt charges Government
officials with an attempt to shift re-
sponsibility for a burden too grievous
to be borne from those who imposed
the burden to those who were unable
to bear it,"
The criticism that the company failed
to give adequate notice of Its inten-
ton to discontinue its service Is retuteu.
In discussing this charge verbally while
handing out his statement the Pacihc
Mail president said
1--WE went before Congressional COM
mittees every year for eleven consecu-
tive years and told them that the en-
tine of such "A law as this would
force the discontinuance of American
operations on the Pacific. We cited
facts to show that this would be the
inevitable consequence of such legis-
lation."

Regarding the statement that the
company should rave waited to see in
what manner the Secretary OF Com

goes into effect November 4. Mr.. krutt-

Of the Secretary to construe away the

The following statement In Mr.. Me-
.\doo's address also comes in for con-
sideration
Il am told that the seanen's bill
was not the handspring for the trans

Panama Canal act, which denied rail-
roads owning competitive steamship

which made 1t possible for the Paciiic
Mail To- sell its ships for more than

the true cause of their sale.
To this Mr.. K~ruttschnitt replies
The same reasons which increased
the vali- of ships would have made the
Pacific Mail unwilling to part with its
vessels if the intolerahle provisions Of
the La Toilette bill had not deprived 1t
OF any choice IN the matter.
