Colgate & Co. Accused
Under Antitrust Law
Fifty-six Counts in Indictment
Charging Violations by Re-
sale Prize, E;xinU

An indictment containing hfty-six
counts, charging violation Of the Sher-
man antitrust law, was returned by a
Fedora grand jury in Trenton, N. j..
yesterday against Colgate e. Co., of
Jersey City, N. j., manufacturers of
toilet preparations. The indictment
claims the company illegally fixed re-
sale prices of it's products to whole
salers and jobbers.
The company was indicted in 1918
for fixing resale prices, but because
of technicality a 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 yesterday
quotes alleged correspondence between
the company and its selling agents and
dealers in its products.
Colgate e. Co., in a statement given
out after the indictment was issued,
denied price fixing agreements were
made with dealers.

N. 4. Restaurateurs
Plan Economies to
Meet New Expense
Reconstruction Of Bust
nesses Declared Necessary
Due to After Prohibition
Affairs; to Unite Forces

New York's big restaurant men de-
cided on drastic steps yesterday to
meet an after-war and after-prohibi-
tion condition, which. in the opinion Of
members of the Society Of Restau-
rateurs, makes necessary reconstruc-
tive activities as farreaching as those
in other lines Of American business.
August Jansen, the society's newly
elected president. at meeting of the
membership on the third floor Of his
cafe, "a West Thirtieth Street, an
nounced a program which embraces
the following points in the society's
plan:
Creation of bureau of markets.
bureau Of purchases and bureau of
price Quotations, to be incorporated in
centralized office representing every
restaurant in the organization.
Slmplified bookkeeping and account
ing, for the purpose of effecting
economies in every phase of the restau-
rant business.
Establishment of legislative bureaus
here. at Albany and at Washington to
work IN behalf OF the society and to
Tounteract detrimental or unfair legs-
lation.
Creation of an insurance department
for the protection of the rcstauratenrs,
many OF whom, Mr.. Jansen declared,
ara improperly insured.
Poolng of all advertising interests.
Concerted and cooperative action in
times. of food shortage and in labor
troubles.
Hitherto, Mr.. Jansen said, restaurant
proprietors have been prone to dis
regard the economic laws under which
their businesses are conducted give
years OF steadily mounting labor, con-
struction and food costs, coupled now
with high taxes and prohibition, have
made the restaurant men realize that
they must organize and cooperate as
never BEFORE" he declared. We are
taking up this work with a view to
placing the restaurant business on
plane as efficient as that of other bus-
nesses. Many restaurants have been
forced out of business by prohibition.
"The cost of restaurant help has
risen 100 or ITO per cent since the war
began. In addition the cost of food
has gone sky-high. But the restaurants
are charging only from Is to 25 per
cent more to-day than they charged
five or six years ago."
William Healy, proprietor Of Healy's
Restaurant, Forty7second Street and
broadway, said:
III the restaurant owner had been as
careful in matters Of economies and
cooperation with his -restaura-
teurs ten years ago as he is compelled
to be to-day" Mr.. Hcaly said, "he
would be rich"
Among those in attendance at the
meeting were j. J. Lusser, Andre D.
Bustanoby, j. Wagner, Louis c. Mou-
quin jr., Theodore Kemm, j ohm j. Cava-
nagh, Enrico Gailito and c. l.. yucca.

The handling OF troublesome children.
Already so cases have come before the

childhood" are formulating definite
principles OF procedure for parental
handling Of children who have gained
the reputation Of being unmanage-
able.
Some Of the conclusions follow:
Boys, contrary to general report,
are not more refractory than girls.
An equal number OF cases from each
sex comes before the bureau.
The period from six months to three
years Is the most Important, from &
moral standpoint. Although children
may not understand the words spoken.
they are taking in Impressions all the
time.
Bad boys are sometimes merely
boys who have been kept Indoors too
much and had, therefore, no chance
% work of their energies and tire
themselves out naturally.
There Is subconscious reason for
stealing that goes much deeper than
q desire for something at the mo-
ment
Very often the trouble Is not with
the child at al. but with parents who

trouble with children, when Il should
be the last resort Il should only be
