CHARGES OFFICIALS
PROTECT TRUST"
Manley Says He Will Probe
u. S. Stand on General
Electric Co.

Basil NJ. Manley. director of the
Peoples Legislative Service. in a
statement made public last night
charged that the Department of JUS
tice had failed to prosecute the Cen
eral Electric Co. to determine whether
II had been engaged in an unlawful
combination and monopoly in restraint
of trade concerning electric light
bulbs.
i am familiar with the general con-
ditions surrounding the manipulation
of the General Electric Co. case by the
Department of Justice" said Mr.. Man
ley. Il intend, however, to press my
investigation further TO determine
what relation the overshadowing in
f1uence in the present administration
possessed by Mr.. Dwight Morrow of
the firm of j. z. Morgan & Co. and
director of the General Electric Co.,
has had to the suppression of the
most important charges against the
so-called electric trust. Mr.. Morrow
has been one of the most frequent
participants in the Mayflower voy-
ages.
Will Probe Radio Grants.
Il intend also to inquire into the eX-
traordinary radio facilities placed at
the disposal of the present adminiStra-
ton by the General Electric Co. with
out compensation"
Mrs. Manly made public two letters
written by Samuel Untermyer, New
York attorney, one to him urging that
all the facilities of the Peoples Legis-
Iative Service be marshaled to collect
evidence ION which to place this mis-
carriage of justice before the next
Congress to the end of bringing about
an investigation that will uncover
the facts and force a legitimate pros
ecution of these powerful offenders"
The other letter of Mr.. Untermyer,
addressed to Owen d. Young, chair
man of the General Electric Com
pany's board of directors, declared
that Mr.. Young had sent a letter
to stockholders in which he sought
10 make it appear that the company
had been "vindicated" by a court de-
cision of charges made against it by
the Lockwood investigating committee
of the New York Legislature.
Denies Charges Disproved.
1T is not the fact" Mr.. Untermyer
said in his letter to Mr.. Young, that
those charges have been disproved
by the decision in the case referred
10 by you, or that they have even
been denied. or that your company has
ever sought to disprove them. The
Government has, on the contrary,
studiously evaded bringing suit upon
the most serious of such charges and
has by its tortuous course of conduct
permitted your company to continue
in the unlawful exercise and enjoy
ment of this monopoly to the great
cost and injury of the public and to
the disgrace of the administration of
justice. Notwithstanding the persist
ent, but as vet unavailing efforts of
the committee and its counsel to bring
your company to the bar of justice
upon these charges.

March 6. 1925-Sinclair case came

Illicit transactions between Sinclair

tinental Trading Co.'S liberty bond
transaction.
March &c. 1925-Sinclair trial at
Cheyenne concluded. briefs filed, and
case now ripe for decision.
Appeal Certain.
1t may be put down as certain that,
whatever the decision in either the
Doheny or Sinclair case. or both. the
Government and the defendants alike
will go to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals. 1t is within the
range of possibilities that the civil
cases will never get beyond the Fed
eral Circuit Court OF Appeals, that
Is to say, to the United States Su-
preme Court. Under the revised Fed
eral procedure the bench of the Cir
cult Court of Appeals consists of
three judges. The appeal from the
Doheny- California case would be
heard by three judges sitting at San
Francisco. The appeal in the Sin
clair-Wyoming case would be heard
by a similar bench sitting, probably.
at Denver The appeals, in other
words, will have been argued before
and decided by six United States
judges. Counting the two judges who
sat in the courts of first instance,
this will mean that a total of eight
Federal judges will have already
passed judgment on the oil cases.
This will be but one judge less than
the full bench of the Supreme Court.
Law authorities are inclined TO
doubt whether the Supreme Court
under the circumstances would find it
desirable to review a decision made by
Federal bench numerically virtually
as large as itself, particularly if the
respective Circuit Courts of Appeals
should reach concurrent decisions.
The statute passed by Congress on
February 13. 1925. known as the Fri
day. the 18th law" limits the number
of cases that go to the Supreme Court
for review Under it litigants have
only the right to apply for a review
of Circuit Court of Appeals decision
which it is within the rights of the
Supreme Court to grant or dendy in its
discretion. Under the best of condi
tions, finality III the oil cases is still
long way off.

/. OF GOLD STANDARD
British Treasury Secretary
Says Two Conditional
Loans Secured.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May Am moving the
second reading of the gold standard
bill in the House of Commons this
afternoon, Walter Guinness, financial
secretary to the treasury, said two
credits had been conditionally nego-
tiated in connection with the stabil-
ization of exchange.
The first of these, he stated, was
with the Federal Reserve Bank,
which had undertaken to give the
bank of England revolving credit of
5000, 100000 for two years, from May
10, or the date of the British govern
ment's guarantee, whichever date
was the latest.
The second arrangement was with
syndicate headed by the house of
Morgan, with the British government
direct, for revolving credit of $780,
100000
In each case the arrangement was
for two years interest, to be paid as
and when the credit was drawn on, at
3 per cent above the Federal reserve
discount rate, with a minimum of 4
per cent and a maximum of 6 per cent.
or If the Federal reserve discount rate
exceeded 6 per cent, then at the dis
count rate of that bank.
Discussion of the measure is ex-
pected to occupy the House for the
next two or three days.
Snowden Leads Opposition.
Phillip Snowden, who was chancellor
in the Labor cabinet, plans to move
rejection of the bill on the ground
that the proposed action is unduly
precipitate and may aggravate the
| existing condition of the unemploy-
| ment and trade depression, but it is
not expected that his motion will be
pressed to division.
Meanwhile the controversy over the
proposed duties on silk wakes hot,
and rumors that these taxes are to be
abandoned are given much prominence
| in newspapers opposed TO the plan.
Government supporters, however, ridi-
| cule the idea that any administration
even a weak one, would abandon an
| important item in its budget in def.
erence to what they describe as care.
fully engineered clamor.
They admit that some notifications
| in details may be conceded in conse
| quence Of the conferences being held
between treasury officials and repre-
sentatives of the silk trade, but con.
tend that this is quite an ordinary
