Old Rubber Cheaper.
Old rubber is lower in price now
than a year ago, and considerably so.
The reason for this is that now the
United States Is having enormous re-
celpts OF South Americas crude rub

rubber in general.
The reason this country now gets so
much South American crude rubber is
because the rubber cannot be mar

ruling on the price of paper and this
has reduced competition 20 some extent
and stabilized the paper making bust
ness so that buying competition IS
abolished
Junk Preferred Freight.
karchmer calls attention to the fact
that next 10 food and fuel, the gov
eminent has made scrap iron almost
preferred freight
The reason for this Is because the
government so badly needs scrap iron
for its machine manufacturers. Scrap
iron is often more valuable than pig
iron because pig iron has TO be allowed
whereas scrap iron reaches the ioun-
dry with It's composition all right, hav-
ing OF course been alloyed before il
became part Of a machine.
AT present Oklahoma Junk dealers
are handicapped by the fact that no
freight can proceed out Of ST. Louis 10
the east except certain kinds. Thus
Ohio IS the great market for old rub
Der. Wooden rags speed east as do
bottles but none OF these kinds Of Junk
can at present get farther from Okla
homa han st. Louis.
The Karchmer company, II it could
obtain the necessary freight cars, could
ship Us carloads OF junk out of Okla

hOma every month As il is, during
the last two weeks this company
shipped twenty five cars Of scrap iron
and ten cars Of miscellaneous Junk to

There is an element Of patriotism too
in the business OF the junkman today
There are certain kinds Of Junk, for
example rugs that are needed BY COM
panies engaged in filling government
contracts. The junk business Is so
i%lounShing now that the junk dealers
can sell all they obtain
In the case Of most Junk dealers IN
this state, II is stated to be their habit
in looking through the orders received

INGERSOLL co. WINS
WATCH PRICE FIGHT
Department Store Enjoined
From Selling Below Manu-
facturers' Figure.

In an opinion filed in Newark yester-
day Vne-Chancellor Lane ruled that a
manufacturer may fix price to which
retail dealers in his product must
adhere.
The opinion was on the complaint OF
Robert II. Ingersoll & Bro that Inger-
soil watches had been advertised for
sale by Hahne & Co. proprietors of a
Newark department store. at less than
the price advertised by the manufac-
turing company.
The opinion enjoins Hahne & Co. from
selling watches bearing the Ingersoll
imprint except under conditions fixed by
the manufacturing company. The Vice.
Chancellor held that the trade name of
the Ingersoll watch was a thing OF value
that was entitled to protection by law.
THE practice OF a manufacturer to
make and sell an article, not the sub
ject of monopoly and subject TO keen
competition. the price of which has been
standardized through extensive and eX-
pensive advertising. and of afflxng a
notice under the terms of which pur-
chases are forbidden to resell at less
than the standard price without re-
moving the manufacturer mark and
guarantee, is not offensive to public
policy or the Sherman or Clayton acts"
he rules.
The Vice Chancellor wrote that the
United States Supreme Court. in his
opinion, had not passed upon a case
where the situation was precisely the
same as in the case presented to him.
1t was maintained In defence that the
restrictions imposed by the Ingersoll
company upon the sale of its watches
were in restraint of trade and In viola
ton of the Sherman and Clayton acts as
