Judge Hazel stated that, while it APP
peared that no irremediable hardship
would result from a separation of the
aratc companies. it was not at this time
intended to indicate either dissolution,
division or reorganization.
1t no doubt is possible, he said, that
an adequate measure of relief might re-
suit from enjoining the unfair practices
of the terms of sale agreements, and from
a separation of the business; but the
defendants should have an opportunity
to present to the court on the first day
of the 1915 November term a plan for
the abrogation of the Illegal monopoly I'M
duly and unrea sonably restraining inter-
state trade and commerce, or If an APP
peal from his interlocutory decree Is
taken to the supreme court and this de-
cision is affirmed, such plan is to be
presented Wltnln " uayS IIO11 tnc llllIlS
of the mandate.
The bill was filed June 9. 1918. and al
legged that from 1902 to 1906 the Eastman
company of New York Intentionally mon
opolzed the business of manufacturing
and selling cameras and supplies in the
United States by acquiring control of 20
competing concerns. which were after
ward dissolved, the plants dsmantled
and their business removed to Rochester.
That the Eastman Kodak company of
New Jersey acquired many stock houses
engaged in different states in selling pho
Geographic supplies manufactured by the

That the defendants with the intention
of monopolizing Importation, acquired the
exclusive right to sell in the United States
and Canada raw paper stock from Euro

ufacture of Photographic papers.
That from 1899 to 1908 all Eastman prod
ucts were sold by dealers under restric-
tons and with discounts which stified
competition. In 1905 these discounts
were discontinued and subsequently So
called terms of sale were adopted limit

amendment through the senate by means
of which the courts of jefferson county
will be rearranged In accordance with
the consolidated court bill, prepared by
the Jefferson county delegation and not
in accordance with the plans of the re-
cess committee on judiciary. AS a re-
suit of the amendment, Jefferson county
will have 10 judges and not eight, as the
recess committee would have had it,.
Senator Judges bill providing for an
election commission to have control of
elections in Birmingham, and his bill
providing that the commissioners of Bir-

District No. 2

Delay will hurt chances of victory Five
Alabama girls who win will be treated
like queens. a little cooperation, little
effort a few hours spent in actual can
vassing for subscriptions and votes, will
change the whole aspect of the cam
paign. 1t Is preposterous for any candi-
date to relax her efforts at this time, for
someone will be laying a plan of action.
and the first thing you know your lead
will be overcome and your friends mar
shalled into another camp and you will
be stranded. Keep your eyes open.
Both in the city and country districts
the voting figures show that those who
interested deeply enough to pitch into
the matter of securing votes, their eff
forts bring bountiful results There should
be considerable element of pride in dem-
onstrating that no mistake was made
when your name was suggested for an
energetic and popular candidate.
What one has done others can. easily
do. In the territory outside of Birming-
ham few have reaped splendid har-
vest of votes, but in many communities
practically nothing has been done.
This is the time for action, for thought,
and for endeavor of many kinds.
The motion picture campaign of The
Age Herald is not lucky contest nor
one in which any candidate can win with
out votes and the only way in which
votes can be secured is by clipping them
from individual issues of The Age-Her-
aid or by securing subscriptions to this
paper. The most popular candidate in the
state of Alabama would be defeated II
no attention was paid to the matter OF
securing subscriptions and votes.
