BY US.

Violated.

R)-A new complaint alleging viola
ton of the Clayton act by the Con-
tinental Baking Corporation in ac-

the merger had effected monopoly
in the baking trade.

poration, alleged that the consolida-
ton acted to lessen competition. re-
strain commerce and to create a
monopoly in bakery products. 1t cited

ger with the Ward and General Bak-
ing Corporations of New York, de-
clared it "had no monopoly in any
product in which it deals nor can
anyone obtain such monopoly in
any communities in the United
States"
at is physically impossible" it
continued, "for any concern to ac-
qlire or obtain such a monopoly be-
cause the business relates TO products
that are made from materials avail
able in adequate quantities at reason
able prices to thousands of going
business concerns and to millions of
homes in which various people are ca
pable Of producing such products in
case of necessity"
