ASZ DI SOLUTION OF
EASTMAN KODAK TRUST
y Order of Attorney General Mc-
ov: ;, Civil Suft is Started ;
to Brmk iij) Combine as Viola- j
011 of the Sherman Law.
Buffab N. Y., June 9. Disso
lution of the so-called Eastman
kk trust was asked in a civil
fcti-tnjst suit filed here- today by
rW of Attorney General Mc
emolds. The Federal Govern
mt seeks the dissolutoin by re
jTership, if necessary, of the
Mstman Kodak Company of New
r&ey and the Eastman Kodak
ompany of New York which are
flarged rith monopolizing the
i&ie in photographic supplies in
"olation of the Sherman law.
It is the aim of the -Government
, divide the assets and business
jjt the two companies controlling
U Per cent of the business in the
suited States, into such parts as
ANAGER FOR
HENDERSON VILtE
will effectually destroy the alleg
ed monopoly and restore free com
petition. The petition in equity
asks for an injunction forbidding
the fixing of the resale price of
eameras, films and other patented
photographic supplies. This marks
the Attorney General's first appli
cation of the recent decision of
the United States Supreme court
denying patentees the right to fix
resale prices of retailers.
RAILROADS LOSE FIGHT.
Supreme Court Upholds Right to
Fix Passenger and Freight
Rates.
"Washington, June 9. The pow
er of the States to fix reasonable
intranstate rates of interstate rail
roads, 'until such time as Congress
shall choose to regulate rates, was
upheld today by the Supreme
court of the United States in. the
Minnesota Ireight and passenger
rate cases.
At the same time the court laid
down far-reaching principles gov
erning the valuation of railroad
property for rate-making purposes
and according to these held that
the State of Minnesota would con-
j fiseate the property of the Minn
apolis & St. .Louis Railroad Co., by
its maximum freight and two
cent passenger fare law. It en
joined the State from enforcing
these laws, as to this road, for the
present. . In the cases of the
Northern, however, the court held
that hese roads had failed to
show that the rates were "unrea
senable" or confiscatory and con
sequently reversed the United
States Distriet;court f or Minneso
ta, which has enjoined their en
forcement as both, confiscatory and
a burden on interstate commerce.

work at spare moments will ena
ble a number of deserving young
men and women to enter college
and enjoy educational advantages
which they would not otherwise
receive.

scored by the contestants is being
worked out and the contest will
j be waged in August, as a result

whereby a contestant in a remote
rural district will have the same
opportunity of winning a scholar
ship as a contestant in or near
