Defense to Justice
Department Action

BY the Associated Press.
The Justice Department announced
today that 1t had filed a criminal
information charging the Nations
three largest manufacturers Of soap
and soap products with fixing prices
in violation of the antitrust law
The information was filed in the
Federal District Court at Newark,
N. j., and the three companies and
the president of each Immediately
pleaded nolo contendere and were
fined $4,000 each, the department
said. The defendants were listed as:
Proctor 81 Gamble Co. and Rich
ard Deupree, president, Cincinnati;
Observation-Disclosures Co., Jersey
City, N. j., and E. H. Little, presi-
dent, Orange, N j., and Lever
Brothers Co., Cambridge, Mass, and
Francis H. Countway, president,
Brookline, Mass.
The companies were accused of
fixing the terms, discounts and con-
ditions of sale, with exchanging of
price information and classification
of customers and with granting or
refusing certain allowances to Gus
toners.
The department said the three
companies produced and sold four
fifths of the approximately $275,-
100000 of soap and soap products
sold each year in the United States.

same effect as an indictment by a

where calls have about quadrupled.
Mrs. Marguerite Fassett of the traffic
