ICE MONOPOLY
 TO BE EXAMINED
Federal Prosecution Made From Standpoint of Re-
 straint of Trade.

Hartford, June 20-'I will confer with United States Dis trict Attorney John F. Crosby fin the morning, and will then decide my course of action, if I find any should be taken by me, against the ice dealers" said States Attorney Hugh M. AIcorn last night. 'If, I find that action should be taken, the matter will be pushed with all possible speed" he continued.
 The office of. the United States dis trict attorney was active yesterday in pursuit of information on the matter of the ice combine in the state. Mir. Crosby said he would exert every eff fort to see if the federal laws bearing on the matter had been violated. The federal prosecution, If made, will have to be from the standpoint of a com bination in restraint of trade between states
 Mir. Crosby said:
 T have sent to New Haven for a transcript of the evidence offered at the meeting DerOre the Ice committee in that city. Should I find that the matter should be brought to the att tention of the grand jury, I will see that it is done"
 The federal law under which Mir. Crosby seeks to find a violation by the fee trust is clear in its provisions. Federal action will have precedence over any that may be contemplated in the state.
 However. even if it Is found that the federal laws in the matter of combination in restraint of interstate trade have not been violated. there is yet recourse to the state law, which seems to show conolusively that the ice trust has been ill-advised as to the extent to which 1t might go in regulating the price of ice in the state It will be under this law that MT. Alcorn will seek to base his ac- tion against the ice dealers. MT. AL corn will have opportunity today to devote his attention to the ice ques- ton. his attention at the trial in Mid dletown not being necessary until Tuesday. It is likely that he will have the machinery of his office set well in motion by that time. if he de- cides that such action is necessary.

 AN INJUNCTION Will Be Based on Signing of the Peace Treaty Which
 Ends War.

Prevailing opinion among Bridgeport saloon keepers and wine and liquor dealers today, gave every indication these men would keep there cafes and stores open after July I.
 Practically every dealer in- tervieWed agreed with Thomas Fitzsimmons of New Haven. secretary of the Connecticut Wine and Liquor Dealers As sOciatiOn, who believes an in- junction restraining Federal authorities from enforcing the law can be obtained. It is planned to get the injunction on June 2S.
 The application for the injunction will be based on the signing of the peace treaty which will end the World War. With the formal con clusion, war time restrictions will have automatically ended and it is MT. Fitzsimmons contention that an injunction can be had on this basis
 While Bridgeport dealers pointed out today that such an injunction would only allow them to remain open for an additional six months or until the federal amendment goes into eff feet next January those who have been in the business for number of years are unanimous in their declara- uons that they will stay open.
 Some even took the view of keep ing open whether an injunction was granted or not in order to make a test case of the wartime prohibition and federal amendment, Connecticut being one of the states not ratifying the amendment
