stifle competition in the manufacture

sought to prevent mine operators
from using the commodities presen-
ted by the so-called independent con-
Germs; that they have Disseminated
as to royalties exacted from various
operators, thus creating ''favorite"
concerns; that they have falsely dis

intended to reflect on congress and
was willing TO repair any blunder that
he might have made" Creel, in writ
