PRICE CUTS FACTOR
/! IN MERGER FIGHT
Attorneys Opposing Vacuum
and Socony Move Tell of
Competition.
NV the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July 15.-Letters sub
poenaed from the files of the Standard
OIL Co of New York telling OF price
cutting activities of the Vacuum Oil
Co. when the latter went after business
in Central and Western New York were
read into the record yesterday in the
Government suit to enjoin merger of
Vacuum and Socony.
Fifty letters were submitted from
Socony sales managers at Albany, Ro-
chester and Buffalo in support of the
Government contention that the pro-
posed merger would be in restraint OF
trade.
Activities of the Metro Cooperation,
Vacuum subsidiary, are the theme OF
letter from G. Van Deusen, Socony
sales manager at Albany under date
of May 2, 1928. An excerpt follows:
Metro Corporation gasoline, offered
at cut-price by the SlStro--Noble Co.
Addison, N. Y, has caused us to lose
the business of a customer OF ours, Mr..
V. A. Towner. Coopers. N Y.
Our former customer informs us that
he is paying the competitor the price
of Is cents a gallon for his gasoline,
with the further understanding that he
will receive $50 a month from the
competitor during the time he sells
their gasoline.
You will see how impossible 1t is
for us to hold our business in the face
of such offers by the competitors"
H. A. Howard of the Buffalo office
of Socony wrote in May of last year
that Vacuum was dissatisfied with its
sales in Chatauqua County and was
going to concentrate in jamestown and
market an anti-knock gasoline at a no.
premium price.
IF the Vacuum Oil Co carry out
their alleged intention" he wrote, the
situation in jamestown will be very
serious for US"
In March of last year Howard wrote
that the price situation in Rochester
would always be unsatisfactory las long
as a company which enjoys the prestige
of the Vacuum Oil Co. takes the lead
In cutting prices to level inconsistent
with marketing conditions"

Chicago, Feb. 10.-(Ry-A conspir-
acy indictment against l55 persons
and 81 corporations charging them
with . plot to violate the national
prohibition laws was returned by the
federal grand jury today. The indict-
ment. returned before Federal Judge
George A. Carpenter, charged the IL
legal withdrawal Of 100000 gallons
Of alcohol from government sources.
The indictment came as q sequel
to disclosures that the prohibition de-
partrnent had completed the roundup
OF q gigantic liquor syndicate whose
operations have extended from coast
to coast for the last several years.
Most" of the individuals and con-
Germs have been or still are located In
the Chicago area, although some out
lets were supposedly maintained by
the conspiracy In New York, st. Louis
and probably some other cities.
One Located In st. Paul
Among the concerns reported NAM
ed in the indictment were the STAN
dard laboratories, st. Louis; the Nj
pola company, st. Paul: and the fol-
lowing concerns in New York: The
Allied Drug and Chemical company,
Joubert Gle, Inc. E. M. LAYING COM
pany, and the Maiden Lane Drug
company.

e. @. johnson, United States district
attorney. as q chemist of information
al reputation formerly Of Paris who
later came to 1.-THE United States to
develop q proc9ss whereby substan-
dard alcohol cid oils approved by
the federal burdaN Of prohibition were
redistilled and made available fol
beverage purposes.
No Big Shots Named
None Of the others named were per-
sons Of prominence In bootleg circles,
and none of Chicago's reputed big
shots" in the illicit liquor industry
were mentioned.
Diverted Poison Alcohol
Agents under direction Of Alexall-
der jamie, chief Of agents in this dis
trict, discovered existence Of q con-
spiracy for the diversion Of denatured
alcohol from legitimate commercial
houses to ~bootleggers. The denatur-
ed alcohol. by chemical processes, was
made the basis Of a considerable por-
ton Of bootleg liquor offered for sale
in this country.

traded more than one-fifth Of the to-
