Walsh Goes After
Aluminium Trust
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Sena-
tor Thomas j. Walsh, Democrat,
Montana, has called on Attorney
General Sargent to prosecute the
Aluminium Company of America,
controlled by Secretary of the treas
Wy Mellon and his family, for al
legged violations OF the antitrust
laws and the 1912 consent decree
against the company.
The Montana senator today made
public a letter stating his belief
that the aluminium company had
entered into contracts with makers
of automobile bodies, giving the
aluminium company all scrap alumi-

of "sand castings were unable to
supply themselves with raw mater
ias from the usual sources and had
to buy new aluminium of which the
Mellon company has a virtual
monopoly in this country, according
to Walsh.
