STANDARD OIL
FACES CHARGE
Violation of Clayton Antitrust
Law and Unfair Dealings Laid
To Company.

Washington, April 30-The fed
eral trade commission today issued
complaint against the Standard Oil
company of Indiana, charging Yio-
latiOn not only of the trade COM
mission act prohibiting unfair bus
mess practices but violation of the
Clayton antitrust law as well.
AS an infringement of the Clay
ton act the complaint asserts that
the company is discriminating in
price between different purchasers
of petroleum products and that
the effect of this dissemination may
be to substantially lessen compe-
tition or tend to create monopoly"
1t also is charged that the Standard
Oil company of Indiana, fixes diff
ferent prices in different sections,
selling it's products at lower
price in highly competitive areas.
Various methods by which the
company is alleged to have taken
unfair advantage both Of competi-
tors and the trade are described at
length in the complaint.
The company is accused of stiff
ing competition in Michigan, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa. Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, North
Dakota, South Dakota, by. distribu-
ting its products by means of tank
wagon stations and tank wagons
and refusing to sell in carload lots
or in such manner that the pro-
ducts can be reshipped to other ter
ritory where higher prices prevail
except where such sales are made
to other standard companies
The trade commission complains
that the company sells its gasoline
and kerosene only to those dealers
who will handle other products of
the company. An advertising cam
paign designed TO injure its COM
petitors, also is charged against the
company.

GOOD FINISH
is APPEAL IN
ANWINDUP
Final Squirt Is Urged
Total Subscription Now
$2,403, ,442,400.

Washington, April 30.-Appeal to
all Liberty loan committees to see
that no possible subscription is over
looked, was sent out today by the
treasury department The appeal
contains II suggestions of things
that may yet be done to make the
third loan a big success.
Intensive canvassing of the final
week of the Liberty loan campaign,
was reflected today in the treas
ury's report of s2,403. .442, 400 total
subscriptions, an icrease since
last nights report of S120,140, $50.
This increase covers only part of
yesterdays business.
Big Gains Reported.
The Atlanta district, which has
stood lowest in the percentage col
umn, showed a sudden increase of
S20,000,000 in subscriptions. Other
districts recorded unusual gains
yesterday. The Cleveland district
reported a gain of s26,000,000.
The village of Concrete, Colo,
has oversubscribed eight times,
Antioch, Neb, and Badwater, Wyo.,
six times.
The Chicago district, which leads
all others in the number of individ-
uaI subscribers, reports the follow
ing number of bond sales by states:
Illinois, $1,000; Indiana, $1,000;
Iowa, $4,000; Michigan, 330, 900;
Wisconsin, 100000.
Suggestions Given.
The suggestions offered by the
treasury department are:
Inaugurate buy another bond"
campaign with the idea of getting
those who have subscribed little
to subscribe little more.
See that the employees of every
industrial plant have been canvas
sed creating if possible, committees
of employees to complete the work.
Find out if any plants need re-
canvassing
See if all stores and Office build
ing have been completely canvas
Sed
Call attention publicly to the fact
that the desired 100000 subscrib-
ers means one bond buyer to every
five people, or practically one to a
family. Has your community re-
sponded to this extent?
Many wealthy men and large in
stitutfons are holding off on ac-
count of paying large income taxes,
hoping that their subscriptions will
not be needed. Impress upon them
that every possible subscription is
needed and remind them again that
the schedule of government pay
ments on Liberty bonds calls for
no payments in the month of June.
Follow Up Pledges.
Follow up all pledges and see
that all of these pledges materialize
into actual subscription.
Check up to see that each indi-
vidual and community has done its
share.
Ascertain if these communities
whereAQuotas have been reached are
alive to the necessity of continuing
the battle for large oyersubscrip-
ton and wide distribution.
Take advantage of the fact that
May l is pay day and a good day for
thousands to make initial payments.
See that individuals and firms
which benefit from war business in
crease their subscriptions in ade-
quate proportions.
Many women whose husbands
have already subscribed can buy
bonds on their own account. Make
an appeal to them.
Appeal to your newspapers to
publish these suggestions in the
hope that they will serve as re-
minders of new opportunities for
subscriptions.
