Charge Colgate Co.
with Violation
Anti Trust Law

Trenton, \. j.. Mar 24.--An indict-
ment containing oG coun4.-. charging
violation of the Sherman Anti thrust
Law was returned by a federal grand
jury here today a2ains. Colgate a.
Company of Jersey City. y. j.. man
ufacturers of toilet preparations. The
indictment claims the company il
legally fixed resale prices of its pro-
ducts 10 wholesalers and jobbers.
The company was indie red in 1918
for fixing resale prices but because
of a technicality demurrer to the
indictment was sustained on the
ground it did not charge that the
company made any price fixing
agreements.
The grand jury's action today
quotes alleged correspondence be
tween the company and its selling
agents and dealers in its products.
The correspondence. it was charged
contains "a long series of instances
of written and oral agreements on
resale prices"
The indictment charges further
that the company 'sympathetically
and continuously followed the prac-
tice of procuring such agreements
and the resale prices of It's products
thus were continuously maintained
and enhanced.'

THE NIGHT BEFORE
CONTINUED from Pane One)

narrow partizanship of the Demo-
cratic national administration and
its autocratic methods have made a
deep impression on the rank ana
file, who have lost what patience
they had when war was on and men
were striving to do what they might
to help. They are out for q change.
and they are not in a mood to shirk
the job of making that change.
Overshadowing the interest in the
regular work cut out for the con-
vention, the choice Of delegates, the
making Of platform and what kind
of a plank shall be had on the
League of Nations, in short the topic
that intrudes itself on almost every
handShake, is What are they saying
about Governor down your way?"
Every candidate is within hail when
rot conspicuously in evidence. Their
friends are as busy as though CUB
ernational candidating were going
under the ban of the Volstead act to-
morrow.

Navy. If hearings are held on he
conduct of the war, a number Of
rather disagreeable facts must in
evilably be brought out. Without
going into details 1 may say that as
far as the navy is concerned we will
have fought this war with the bulk
OF our experienced personnel of The
navy on the side Of the ocean where
there is no war: we will have to be
able to show that it was entirely
necessary that we should have had To
fight the war over here with a very
large proportion Of reserve officers
who did not have the necessary *
perience.'
1T is that paragraph that hurts"
said Captain Laning's letter to
Sims. Are you sure that te bulk
OF our experienced personnel is on
thiss ide of the water now: Do you
realize that ultimately two fifths of
our experienced personnel will be on
destroyers alone and of the remain
ing three fifth at least half will be
over there before the war is over:
There is much for them to do over
here that may be less spectacular
and not deserving Of credit yet for
all that it is work without which the
Hun can't be licked.
"Crticism is easy and Just criti
cism bene fetal, but there is nothing
more lowering Of the morale than
unjust criticism and criticism made
without fun knowledge and thought
is apt to be unjust.
And don't lose sight of the fact
that it is only loyalty TO the general
plan and by the holding to it that
decisions are gained.
Before closing thsre is one ques-
ton l want TO ask. In your opinion.
when the entire navy has an actual
and vital part in the war, is it ad-
visable to separate the bulk of ex-
perienced officers from the bulk Of
the reserve forces in order that
some particular forces with particu-
lar missions, should the better ac-
complish their mission and in SO do
ing disregard the fact that we &C
tually interfere with the navy's
primary mission in the war;"

LETTER SAYS O. X.

win would have been foolish. We
would have sacrificed all and in the
end could have been only worse off
than at the start. Our mission was
and is to decisively beat the enemy.
Even you yourself questioned the
advisability of keeping our battle
ships commissioned and suggested
putting them out to send the per-
sonnet over there. To have done
that would have been disastrous, for
these battleships have trained over a.
hundred thousand men and thou
sands of officers.
1--WE recognize the importance of
working against the L boats but we
did not think that their extinct N
could win the war. AS early as July
first last year it became known on
this side that no matter how mucn
we curtailed the u boats the war
would be lost if we did not get troops
to France.
'How were the troops to get here
until the navy took them?
Hasn't it turned out that making
your force go and making the trans
port and cruiser force go were the
allied salvation? We now operate
over 40 transports and several hun
bred cargo transports.
Those troops of ours are saving
the day and believe it would be un-
fair to put blame on the department
for putting them across instead Of
sending the personnel to chase. sub
