obtaining the money. He called per
sonally on Mr. Shaw.

no threats. He explained that he wanted
to buy ten million dollars worth OF the

MAKERS OF CEMENT
MUST GO TO TRIAL
Federal Judge Knox Refuses to
Quash Indictments in
Antitrust Action.
WARNS OF UNFAIR ACTS
Government Attorneys Argue
That They Have a Strong
Case to Present.
WARNS OF UNFAIR ACTS

Federal Judge Knox yesterday refused
to dismiss indictments against nineteen
corporations and forty-four individuals
engaged In the manufacture Of cement
on trial in the United States District
Court charged with violation Of the
Sherman antitrust law.
The argument for uuashing the indict-
nnents was made by Goldthwaite III. Dorr
of counsel for the defense, who alleged
that the Government had not shown any
violation of the law in the indictments
or in the bill of particulars furnished to
the defendants. He raised the point
that Congress had so nullified the law
by enacting special legislation exemptins
certain groups of citizens from penalties
that there was no law left.
Mr.. Dorr requested the court not to
allow the prosecution to go into the
activities of cement manufacturers prior
to 1916, the year in which the Cement
Manufacturers Protective Association
was formed. He contended that the
Government planned to go into the his
tory of the industry as far back as 1902
Such a wide scope. the attorney argued.
Wouiu DTlHS out IdClS III WHICH u Iild-
5ority of the defendants had no part.
'1This gentleman seems to know more
hbout what the Government is going to
do than we do" said Judge James A.
Fowler, special assistant to the At
torney-General. who is conducting the
prosecution. I'VE are not going to pre-
sent events that happened prior to 1916
II. the cement industry for the purpose
of creating prejudicial atmosphere that
might influence the jury. l ask that the
court allow the indictments to stand. as
the prosecution will present a very
strong case"
In overrulfng the motion made by the
defense Judge Knox said he could not set
n hard and fast rule that would apply In
the case. but would have to rely on the
good faith and integrity of counsel for
both sides not to introduce irrelevant
matter.
Unfair tactics on either side always
result in irjury to the side that attempts
such practice said Judge Knox. "That
counsel don't quite agree as to how this
case should be presented and tried is
nothing new in my experience on the
bereh"

FIGHT CARGO RULE
IN SUBSIDY BILL
American Owners Object to
Offering Space to Cen
eral Merchandise.

An important section of American
shipowners who own cargoes they carry
believe themselves Disseminated against
in the proposed subsidy legislation and
are likely to suggest changes in the
bill. The matter has been discussed In
committee by the American Steamship
Owners Association and may be made
the occasion for concerted action.
The Objectionable provision bars from
participation in the subsidy owner Of
a vessel carrying his own cargoes unless
he offers in the public market one-third
Of the space to general commercial busi-
ness at reasonable rates Some of the
companies that would be affected are
the Standard Oil companies of New
York and New Jersey. the Tidewater
Oil Company. the United Fruit Com
pany. the Union Sulphur Company and
the Bethlehem and United States Steel
corporations. The tonnage involved Is
about 45 per cent. of that now privately
owned under the American flag.
In most cases 1t Is said, it would be
entirely inpracticable to throw open
one-third of the ships space to general
cargo. The steel companies might be
able to DO 1t. but the others could not.
A transfer in the registry of the ships
owned by these companies will prob.
ably follow enactment of the alleged
discriminatory provision, Il is said. In
support of the contention this is no idle
threat, 1T was pointed out that before
the war practically all the tonnage
owned by the big trading corporations
was under the British flag. The POSI-
ttnv. fc ta1, xf,.t -
to be Disseminated against in the SUBJ
sidy legislation there can be no pa
triotc objection to n transfer of registry
that will allow them to reduce operat-
ing costs.
These objections are expected TO be
voiced before the joint committee in
Washington when the private ship
owners and their representatives are
called to testify probably within a
week. Meanwhile tho various commit
tees are drawing up suggestions for
changes or additions.
