NO DYE COMBINATION
WOLCOTT TELLS SENATE
Refutes Senator Thomas Charges
That There Was Any Plan to
Control Market.

Washington. June 4-Senator Wolcott,
Democrat, Delaware, defended in the
Senate last night what he characterized
as "a business agreement between f. /.
du Pont de Nemours Company, OF VIII
mington, Del, and the Leyinstein Com
pany, Ltd, Of Manchester, England,
both manufacturers of dyestuffs, for the
interchange OF trade secrets.
The alleged agreement between the
two companies was denounced q few weeks
ago In the Senate by Senator Thomas,
Democrat, Colorado, who asserted that
the two concerns had combined In an
illegal way TO control the markets Of the
world in the production OF dyestuffs.
Senator Wolcott said the arrangement
had been entered into by the du Pont
company ito give 10 the American con-
sumner all the advantages secured 10 the
British consumer through the seizure of
the German plants.
''The immediate effect Of these nego-
tiations" Senator WoIcott said was to
secure for America the know-how' so
urgently needed In this country and
which enabled the du Pont company
In a comparatively short time TO reproduce
and make available to American consumers
substantial quantities Of dyes equal III
quality to any manufactured BY the
Germans. If my views Of this contract
is correct, il cannot be fairly said that
any monopolistic or otherwise improper
motive underlies either negotiations or
execution"
