Judge Lewis signed Injunction
orders Friday afternoon prohibiting

granting the formal injunction
During the morning session, how
ever, he held that comparisons
could not be made between the sale
prices and the cost price. Judge
Lewis continued:
1T is the desire of every law
abiding citizen to see profiteers
prosecuted, but the increment Of
stocks of goods, purchased several
years ago must be considered as a
persons or corporations property
and by the fifth amendment to the
constitution it is impossible to take
his property without just compen-
