defendants found guilty last Janu-
airy of a conspiracy to raise and fix
midwestern gasoline prices in 1885
and 1886. He fined these defen-
dants-twelve companies and five
executives-a total of $65,000.
The judge dismissed the charges
as to ten other executives and one
corporation and found that the re-
naming efendants-fifteen offic-
ials and three firms-were entitled
to a new trial because they had
been linked to the alleged conspir-
acy only by circumstantial evidence.
In 16-page decision, Judge Stone
treated all defendants in three cata-
gories: "a those whom he held
gories: (1) those whom he hold
were shown to have combined thru
gasoline purchasing agreements to
"peg" the midwestern market; (D
those whose connection with the
conspiracy was subject to doubt;
90 and those who were clearly
shown to be innocent.
Among the individual defendants,
whose convictions stand, Is Charles
E Arnott, New York, vice presi-
dent of the Socony Vacuum Oil Co.,
alleged by the government to have
been the master mind'nof the cons
spiracy.

further into the banking business
unless bankers co-operated in ''lend-
ing'' the nation back to recovery.
You bankers know that with
great abundance Of banking re-
sources" he said in a letter to di-
rectors and managing officers of all
state and national banks, ut should
not be necessary for the govern
ment to lend to private industry.
You should also know the govern
ment will he forced to lend so long
as there Is a substantial demand
for legitimate credit which is not
being met"
Although SEC officials were re-
luctant to discuss their monopoly
study plans, 1t was learned the new
division will seek to determine the
extent to which large banks, bank
ing holding companies and branch
banking systems control credit con-
ditions.
They agree with Jones that there
appears to be some restrictions OF
credit and are anxious to ascertain
for Informative reasons only
whether 1t Is the fault Of the fin
ancial institutions themselves or Of
government examination policies
and regulations.
Jones chided the banks for lend
ing money to finance companies at
"absurdly low interest rates." in
stead Of going after the business
directly.
