Court Weighs Ruling
lin 0PA Price Suit

Justice James M. Proctor of Dis
tr1ct Court had under advisement
today a suit brought by the local
Office of Price Administration seek
ing more than $500 as treble dam
ages for alleged overcharges in
wholesale cleaning prices by the
Rainbow Dyeing & Cleaning Co.,
Inc, TOO block of Sixth street Sc.
The tWo-day trial ended yesterday
and Justice Proctor ordered attor-
lneys to submit memoranda on tech
nical points. He did not say when
he would render a decision
The damages represent three times
what the OPA claims the firm
charged above ceiling prices The
firm, in turn, claimed that it had
not overcharged and maintained
that it had a right to charge for
wholesale cleaning its highest price
for that work during March, 1912,
the base period.
The OPA, however, contended the
firm had different classes of custom
ers for whom it did wholesale
cleaning and that the firm could not
charge any wholesale customer a
higher price than it charged such
la customer during the base period
The case was the first treble-dam-
age suit brought by the local OPA
to come to trial.

SWEEPING NATION
By The Associated Press

Heavy snowstorms swirling over
the 'mid-Atlantic and Northeast
states and sub-zero cold in the
Midwest brought the most severe
weather of the winter to large
section of the United States last
night.
With the Mid West already
buried under snow fall ranging
up to IL inches, the storm was
general east of Chicago and es-
pecially heavy in the Northeast.
Snow and freezing rain lashed the
area from southern New Jersey
south to Atlanta.
Three deaths in Illinois and one
in Indiana were attributed to the
storm. Planes were grounded in
Chicago and New York. Trains
were delayed, highway travel i'm.
peded and schools in many Mid
western states closed.
At New York, where the snow
was expected to reach a depth OF
eight to IL inches, Mayor F. H.
LaGuardia reported coal short

department certificates could be
