TRUST CHARGES
 BRING DENlALS
Fertilizer Companies Claim No
 Agreements Exist

Baltimore, Dec. il P>-Pleas of nolo contendere will be filed in fed cral district court here Monday by majority of the go fertilizer com
 panies against which the govern ment yesterday instituted antitrust proceedings, a statement issued by counsel for certain of the firms in
 dicateS.
 The governments complaint fol lowed a years investigations. and names companies in the south east and middlewest which produce ap- proXimately S5 per cent of the fertilizer manufactured yearly in this country.
 Representative of all but two oi the defendant concerns met here and determined upon general plan oi action. following which the normal statement was issued. Other at torneys emphasized however, that it is not to be understood that all the companies agreed to follow this course. -...
 The defendant companies are charged, in the governments com plaint, with having carried on their business pursuant to an under standing and agreement to lessen in essential respects competition among tions of sale" and with having agreed upon the use of "certain ports as exclusive passing points, and including freight rates from said ports in prices"
 As result of the government investigation, in which the com panies concerned voluntarily CO., operated, said the formal statement "thc department of justice expresses the opinion that some selling terms constitute violation of the law Port basins' Is the only practice specifically alleged to be illegal This practice has been found uneconomic by the companies themselves and has heretofore been voluntarily 
 Since the information charges no specific and substantial wrong doing as to the past and does not allege q present continuance of any illegal practices, it is probable that most Of the defendants will offer to flo T plea of nolo contendere"
 This means. it was explained, that while not admitting that illegal acts have been committed as charged, the defendants will refrain from testing of the illegality. "This action,' adds the statement, Twill hc solely due to inexpediency of the industry now embarking upon long drawn-out litigation with the gov ernment with reference to the legal ity of matters of the past"

A taxi-driver's life in New Britain is getting to be just one hold-up after another. Just a succession of wallops on the head. We don't blame them for asking permission to carry automatics. In fact, they should be allowed machine guns. To say nothing of tin helmets.
 Time was when you stepped hesi- tantly into a taXicab, took your ride in fearful silence, paid the demand ed amount with a sweeping bow, and only smiled pleasantly when in formed that the driver had no change. Now the correct etiquette appears to be to stalk boldly into the door. be driven to your destina- ton, pop the chauffeur on the skull with a lead pipe, and depart with his earnings and spare tire.
 A taxi divers life has become nightmare. He thanks the saints for the mirror in front of him, since he can look into it to see what the oc- cupants of his machine are doing. But at the first corner, when he is watching the road-blooey! and darkness comes suddenly. For bus driver conditions are infinitely worse;- he has about ten times as many people to watch. We think the time is coming when, in order to ride in a taxi. you must submit to being knocked cold by the driv- CT out of pure protection. Dead men tell no tales, nor do uncon- scious ones commit any hold-ups.
 Some drivers are being held up so regularly that they have become accustomed to 1t and get their real thrills on nights when they are not robbed. We can almost imagine one shooting his hands skyward and re- marking. just before all goes black, "Ho hum, here's the pistol that was stuck in my face two weeks ago last Wednesday. Is your gang get ting smaller, or are you all using the same gun?" Or, Say. You're the lad with the torn collar. You dropped nickel on the floor after robbing me night before last and I've been having terrible time saving it for you"
 The conclusion to be drawn from the whole proceeding is that there no longer is honor among thieves. Either that or the present series of hold-ups is sort of tong war be- tween crooks in two different lines Perhaps the hold-up men, after all. are merely former fares getting their money back, using the black jack for a weapon instead of the taximeter.

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS OF A
 SUGAR DADDY

By Marion Hartman A lot of things there are that make This world a pleasant place; For instance, there is ginger cake, Or drawing the fourth ace! So, at this season of good cheer, Of lovely sights and smells, rise to say I love to hear The pretty Christmas bells. I have a most aesthetic soul, I thrill to all that's fine; I love the doughnut-and the hole Old friends old books, old wine, And always at this time of year My heart within me swells When. as I stroll, l overhear The $retty Christmas belles. But life must have it's share of
 aches,
 Its modicum of pain, And oft q single letter makes The difference quite plain; Just change the .'e" to 'i'' and say. I promptly have the chills, Because for many belles l pay Some pretty Christmas bills!
