HENRY L. HARRISON TEsFFIES TO MEETING TO FIX PRICES IN 1917

In ap66ftfon to other testimony MT. Harrison made the statement that his company are gradually favoring the exteneion of the artificial facilities. and that they preferred to buy from the Berkshire company rather than develop their natural facilities for Ice at Sa1tonstaIl and Na1tby lakes. MT. Harrison was one of those wit Enessee. who failed to recall much that he considered might be discriminating to ht1n, but under the skillful ques- ltioning of 0dr. Crawford he was smoked out of many verbal situations into which his answers led him. It was difficult tor him to under stand much that the questioner asked, and many times he answered only af- ter repeated explanations and trans lations of the questions into other forms | MT. Crawford has records concern ling the facts of allegeH coilusion or
 monopoly. and he made these records largely the basis of his questioning. The conference at the Hotel Garde 1 was to discuss ice conditions in the
 spring of 1917. He knew the condi- 1, tions were not good; that's all he recalled, but he knew nothing was | said about prices. This conference I | Berkshire Ice company, C. F. Brown
 his agent, Mr. Futile. superintendent | of the Hygienic company. MT. Har-
 rison and MT. Sullivan The general
 opinion of the ice men, MT. Harrison
 said. was that prices were not ade- | quate.
 Yet he admitted there was no
 shortage of ice during 1917 and the
 Berkshire and Hygienic had the
 identical scale of prices on the plat | form
 He was asked if he recalled thai when the Centerfreeze company open ed the platform prices of the two lcompanies ice dropped almost in two to as low as $2 a ton for ice. The Berkshire even cut its prices to $1-5f
 a ton
 He was asked if it were the i'm. minence of additional competition which dropped the prices and he sait no, it was because the Hyg1enic coulf not hope to compete with the Berk' | shire.

 Other reports in the document say that the JewishEpopulation was sub jected to indescYibable cruelty. The Polish authorities prohibited any one from selling bread to the Jews. It was also impossible for them, it is said, to bring in food from neishbor- ing localities because the Poles for bade the Jews to cross the bridges leading out of the city.
 Between April 19 and May 4, the document says the Jews in Wilma suffered dana ges estimated at 6,00o,- 900 rubies.
 The bodies of 54 Jews were found in the streets between April 19 and April 22. The majority of these killed it is asserted, were buried in the spot where they fell. It is i'm possible to arrive at the exact num- Der of victims.
 TT document says that the Lithu- anian commission desires to point out that it appealed to the great powers for a commission of investigation be- fore Premier Paderewski of Poland took such a step.
