JUDCELAND|S
RULES AGAINST
BILL POSTERS
Complaint Charges Association
Had Sought to Crush Compe-
tition Since Its Organization

Chicago March 1.-THE Associated
Bill Posters of the United States and
Canada was held to be combination
in restraint Of trade by Federal Judge
lands today.
The ruling vas given in the govern
n.ent suit asking dissolution Of the
association, flied in August, 1912.
The rule Of reasonable restraint
has no application here" said Judge
Lands. for the reason that this is
not case of mere restraint, but of
total exclusion"
The court ruled that the injunction
asked by the government to restrain
the bill posters from carrying on their
business as an organization would not
20 into effect for so days to permit al
appeal to the supreme court
The complaint charged that ever
since its organization in 1891 the AS
ISOLATED Bllposters had sought to
crush competition. 1t was alleged in
support of the dissolution suit that
membership in the organization was
limited to one member in each town;
that it's members were barred from ac
ceptinG WORK from any do"ei tiSei VIII
furnished business TO non advertisers:
that a schedule of prices was adopted
cor all parts of the country; that com
petitors were bought of. and thal
members were prohibited from accept
ing work from solicitors not licensed
by the organization.
One of the governments contention
in the trial of this case, which began
last May. was that the association IN
1910 sought to force out of business
any photographer WHO attempted to
work with an Independent bill poster
or advertiser. The government further
charged that in 1911 the association
allied itself with IL national adyertis $
ing agencies and thereafter no adver-
tiser could hope to have his htho-
graphs displayed other than through
enc of these recognized agencies.

ST. PATRICK

The memory of st. Patrick is re
vered and honored, not because of
what the people of Ireland did for
him, but because of what he did for
the people of ireland. While the au-
thentic details of his career are OBJ
scured by and mingled with numer-
Gus myths and legends, it is gener-
ally agreed that when "a youth he
was seized by band of pirates and
taken from his fathers farm in Scot
land to Ireland, where he was sold as
a slave to petty chief. After six
years OF serVitude he made his es-
cape and later entered a monastery
in France. After being ordained
priest, he demonstrated his desire to
return good for evil, and went back
to Ireland, where he labored for
over 20 years with wonderful sue
cess. According to the accounts of
plographers, he founded 365
churches and baptized with his own
hands 10000 persons.
Nearly all of the numerous fanci-
lul myths regarding his career agree
IN emphasizing his goodness, his
hlndness of heart, and his great
powers of body and mind. Hi per-
