Goodrich company has sent out the
following letter:
ION March 81, 1916, there ended in
the United States District Court in
Cleveland, o., trial which has lasted
for three weeks and is of vital interest
to dealers throughout the country. The
suit was one brought by a consumer
league known as the Automobile Co.
Operative Association of America,
which was organized in New York in
1908, and went out of business in 1911.
The suit was against the B. F. Good
rich company, the Diamond Rubber
company, the Firestone Tire and Rub
Der company, the. Republic Rubber
company and the U. S. Tire company.
"The consumers league, the plain
tiff, alleged that these companies had
refused to sell tires to it at Dealers
prices; that such refusal was the re-
suit of combined action or conspiracy
on the part of these companies and that
the result was that the consumers
league failed in business.
'The case was argued before the
jury which brought in verdict com.
pletely in favor of the defendants. It
was brought out in the testimony that
the Goodrich company had always and
consistently refused to sell to clubs,
consumers leagues and kindred organ
izations at dealers prices, recognizing
that to do so would be unfair to and
would undermine the business of the
legitimate dealers.

Interned German Shin to
Be Taken to Philadelphia

Washington, September 6-Conveyed by
American warships and flying their own
flag, the German auxiliary cruisers Prinz
Eitel Friedrich and Kronprinz Wilhelm,
now informed at the Norfolk navy yard,
will be transferred to Philadelphia some
time between December 20 and Decem-
Der 80 The American escort will serve
the double purpose of guarding against
any attempt to escape and protecting
the German boats from attack by allied
warships, as it will be necessary for the
squadron to pass outside the three-mile
limit
The state department will notify the
German ambassador of the change, but it
will not be necessary to ask permission,
as this country has become responsible
for the ships, and may do whatever is
believed necessary. The transfer is to
be made because construction of new
dock at Norfolk has reduced available
space there.
There are 324 officers and men on the
Prinz Eitel Friedrich and 40 on tho
Kronprnz Wilhelm. The facilities at
Philadelphia will allow greater liberties
to the interned seamen, who are kept
under close surveillance.
