concern was given contracts by the
United States government In 1917
and 1918 to make several million ar
tillery shells. Unable to make the
fuses, the Gillespie company asked
the complainant for assistance. The
two companies then formed the
Oliver Loading Company as a joint
venture. and it was stipulated that
all of the money received from the
federal government by the Gillespie
company for fuses should be turned
over to the new concern and the
monev equally divided between the
two older corporations. The defend
ant company withheld an aggregate
of almost 100000 on two contracts,
it was alleged. In one case, a price
of 35 cents a fuse for 100000 of
the article was received from the
government. but according to the
complaint. only 80 cents a fuse was
turned over to the Oliver Loading
Company
The suit asks that the Gillespie
company disclose the price paid to
it by the United States authorities
for loading fuses under the two
contracts. to submit all figures used
in negotiating the agreements. and
that the defendant company carry
out the alleged terms of the joint
venture
