P|TTSDURG PRICES
Steel Head Declares There is a
Little More Conscience in
Business Than Formerly.
ri Associated press 10 Every Evcnlnr.

~ RSSoclhten IreFs 70 Every Evening.
Washington. Nov. I5.-If the Fed
eral Trade Commission can demon
strate that the trade custom Of selling
steel products on the basis OF pre-
vailing I'ittsburg prices is due to
combination in restraint OF trade.
Judge r. III. Gary. of the United States
Steel Corporation, testified before the
commission today, the practice ought
TO be stamped out as mot only illegal
but uncomfortable"
II conoede that as a witness" Judge
Gary continued. But I claim 7 know
that the Pittsburg basing practice has
grown up naturally and normally
without any combination or price
/ fixing and in response solely 10 the
law of supply and demand. II the COM
mission could find any evidence OF
combination IN Il contrary to the
sherman law, the situation would be
difficult
Judge Gary was recalled today when
the commission resumed its considers-
ton OF the Pittsburg base question
and repeated generally his statement
that he considered the Pittsburg base
custom entirely justifiable
Il don't believe in large corpora-
tions taking unreasonable advantage
OF consumers 10 secure extortionate
prices even though stress OF circunl-
stances permits 1t occasionally" Judge
Gary continued. I'D like to see the
federal trade commission win this
case against the Pittsburg basing prac-
tice II that We're a factor in bringing
about harmful practices, but I don'r
want TO see it pursued on a basis oi
| false premises.
AS l see il, supply and demand
brings things to a reasonable equi-
hbrium because buyers and sellers
are both intelligent and neither one
can take advantage OF each other long
Then too. there's little more con.
science in business than there uset
to be. The Pittsburg base In stee

CONTEMPT CASE IN
j. S. COURT SETTLED
Litigation Involved Alleged In
fringement on Radio
Patents.

After months OF litigation. the
contempt proceedings brought against
the Radio Corporation of Amcricn
with headquarters In New York by
tho Radio Audion Co. of Jersey City
was settled this morning I'm the United
States district court before Judge
Morris. Both companies are Dela-
ware interpretations
Counsel for the plaintiff presented
a bill for s6.430e5 which he alleged
constituted all expenses incurred i'm
the preparation OF the case against
the Radio Corporation. He also asked
a similar amount be awarded as dam
ages. Judge Morris finally awarded
$5,550.50 for expenses. refusing to
make damage award because coun-
sci could not produce any evidence
which would warrant such an award
The contempt proceedings were the
aftermath Of charges brought by the
Radio Corporation alleging an in
fringment of its patent on an audion
bulh used as a detector. The Radio
Audion Company WAS then tho de-
fendant. Judge Morris granted tho
complainant a preliminary injunction
restraining the defendant from con-
tinuing manufacturing their product
known as "Audion" for use as n de-
| tector.
| Soon after this proceeding the
Audion Company went into court
charging that it's former prosecutor
had on July l issued a letter cap
| tioned-''Informatio Regarding Radio
Patent Situation"
! This letter, it was alleged, contained
( mis- statements 10 the detriment of the
Audion Company and was injurious tc
! their business. The court also ruled
that the letter was improper. mislead,
ing and deceptive with respect to III.
complainant. The court ordered also
that the Radio Corporation cease mail
ing the letters after July 26 and lie q
list of the names of those persons tC
whom they had sent the letters. They
filed a list of 265 names.
/ On October the Radio Audion Com
pany filed petition charging in effect
that the Radio Corporation issued
copies of the letter IN question after
the entry OF the courts order anC
omitted from the list of names filed
with the court the names of many
! persons TO whom the letters had beer
mailed prior 10 July s. BY such dis.
Obedience Of the order, the defendant
had been substantially injured and tn,
Radio Corporation should be adjudget
in contempt. the petition stated.
The court ruled that the Radio Cor
poration should have filed the names
of all persons who received the letter.
and II ii were found impossible to d,
so should have made a full DISCLOSURE
of all the facts. AS ii did neither, 1
was ruled, 1t was guilty of civil con
tempt
Evidence disclosed the fact that 2
many as twenty copies of the offend
ing letter We're sent TO each jobber-
or wholesaler-who distributed then

In the bill OF expenses given to tn
court and from which almost $500 wa
cut, counsel for the Radio Audiol
