TRADE RESTRAINT IS
OIL COUNSEL CHARGE

Jefferson City, Mo-, Sept. 10 "a. P)
The entire gasoline trade in An
erica, and even in some foreign coun-
tries, Is involved in evidence being
produced in the gasoline price hear
ings conducted here by Attorney
General Jesse W. Barrett of Mis-
souri,, in the opinion OF well inform
ed authorities.
Contracts brought forward at the
hearing between the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana and nearly all
the other important companies of the
United States. and applying to their
foreign trade, are pronounced a vio-
lation OF the antitrust laws both by
United States Attorney General Stone
and Attorney General Barrett.
Some weeks ago the United
States Department of Justice filed
suit against As oil companies doing
interstate business. charging that by
system of licenses on cracking
process" patents, the gasoline trade
of the United States was being re-
stricted and monopolized, and asking
that the defendants be enjoined from
a continuance of the contracts and
their effects. The contracts, the eX-
istence of which was alleged by the
government, were produced at the
Missouri hearing by the Standard Oil
Company and admitted to be in
effect at the present time.
A form of engagement which was
Particularly denounced by Attorney
General Barrett is illustrated by the
contract between the Standard OF.
Company of Indiana and the stand
ard Oil Company of California. This
recites that the Texas Company is
owner Of certain cracking patents:
that the Texas Company authorizes
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana
to grant licenses under the Texas
patents; that the Standard of Indi-
ana thereby licenses the Standard of
California under the Texas Com
rany's patents on the condition that
the Standard of California sells none
CT the gasoline so produced in Indi-
ana. Illinois,, Iowa. Kansas, Mime
sofa. Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Neb-
raska, Montana Wyoming, Colorado
CT Oklahoma or in the Dominion of
Canada or the Colony Of Newfound-
land.
This, Attorney General Barrett as
serts, is a plain restraint of trade
and not justified by any rights grant
ed under letters patent.

The active consumptive demand for

are few departments that have not

slowly TO the call for organization of

are characterized as the Democratic
way of raising campaign fund.
Latesl reports of the club activities
received at national headquarters here
show that of the 10 Maine Democrats
who have undertaken the organization
of clubs with total membership fees
of 500 each, but FIVE of them have
sent actual cash to Washington. To
date. the total received is about
sS65.00 The organizers of these clubs
il Maine have guaranteed the national
committee a total of $1,000.
The Augusta club. headed by Gordon
Callert. reports one Of the largest
amounts paid among the cities of the
State. Its total is s1f5.00. The Lew
iston club which is in charge of Louis
J .Brann,. has reported no payments at
all.
Col c. c. Lyons, who made a tour of
New England towns and cities last
winter in an effort to set these clubs
started. had found that New England
is poor country for raising Democratic
