The matter reached the attention
of Congress earlier this week during
testimony by Mr.. Carmody before
a Senate committee Mr.. Carmody
said efforts had been made not to
disturb the stability of the con-

Mr.. Arnold was said to have ad

The antitrust chief did not name
the A. F. L. in his letter, it was re-

that organization which he had in
mind by a reference to recent Su-

application of antitrust laws in

He was understood to have advised
Mr.. Carmody that the court limita-

Federal Works Administrator John

the failure to award a defense nous

Co. of Detroit indicate a violation
of the antitrust laws, which would

This was learned today from in

Mr.. Arnold had written to the F

of a complaint from P. j. Currier
president of the company which
