Uneasiness reigns supreme among

in no kindly manner and many a hope

The prospects Of a semi-pro league

Maine State league. OF the teams
that composed the circuit last year at
least three were amply fed up on the
proposition and are deaf to overturnes

may be made to link up the Easterns,
Bar Harbor with either some of the
northern towns or possibly the prov
inces. In any event Ben Houser may
be counted upon to date up some good

While Lewiston will probably have
as strong a team as last season, there
will be dearth of teams Of like cali

it puts in another outfit, would be
worthy opponents and possibly San

State. Augusta will have team, but
In the plans being outlined it would be
no match for Lewiston. Portland or

j. S. TRADE BOARD
PROBING TRUSTS
Commission Investigating
Sherman Law Violations
as Alleged by Congress.

The Federal Trade Commission is
proceeding with two of the hig anti
trust Investigations which IL has been
directed to undertake and Will con-
tinue with its inquiries until a report
is made to Congress. One or two of
the inquiries ordered by the Senate
have been deemed improper" by the
commission and might result in vio-
lation of resolution passed by the
Senate at the last session which di-
rected the commission not to act and
spend public money on Investigations
unless the resolution directing the in
quirv was concurrent or unless the
inquiry was plainly one involving vio-
lation of the Sherman act.
s Four Cases Outstanding.
Standing out among the inquiries
turned over to the commission by the
last Congress are four. Two of them
have been deemed not pertinent to
violation of the Sherman law, while
the commission is proceeding with two
more. One of the two phases of the
investigation ordered by the resolu-
ton sponsored by Senator Norris-the
phase charging conspiracy to set up a
monopoly in the electric power in
dustry--is under investigation, but
the other pha se-that alleging that
the General Electric Co. and other big
electric firms disseminate propaganda
in favor of private ownership-has
not been undertaken because counsel
for the commission did not deem this
a violation of the Sherman law. In
fact, the commission holds that the
constitution gives every man the
privilege of free speech and that the
burden of proof of propaganda would
nf nFaIt he hn oslo hr,t
would be very difficult of proof
Furthermore. the chief economist of
the commission estimated this pha Sc
of the electric industry investigation
would cost S12, 900 and the commission
does not care TO spend so much money
in the face of the Senate resolution
when it is not definitely ascertained
that the inquiry is one involving vio.
lation of the antitrust law.
Alleged Tobacco Monopoly Up.
The commission is proceeding with
the investigation of the alleged tobac
co monopoly charged against the
American Tobacco Company and the
Imperial Tobacco Company, but has
not taken action on the Senate reso-
lutions calling for an inquiry into the
production, transportation and sale of
flour and bread, sponsored by Senator
La Toilette, or the resolution of Sen
ator Shipstead calling for a report on
the probability of the cooperative
farm movement. The majority of the
commission held that the body should
not go ahead with the bread inquiry
according to Chairman Van Fleet, be
cause the charges were not specific
and were too general. This was one
of the inquiries on which the advice
of the Department of Justice was
asked.
The commission. several weeks ago,
through a statement. made 1t known
that the Investigations about which
there is doubt had been submitted to
the President with the request that the
Department of Justice give ruling
