"In its absence unfair competition may. .run its course to the goal of monopoly and accomplish, the ruin of competitors without the secret ' ownership being suspected1 and consequently without complaint to the commlsion to in tnvestlgate the faCC The Competitor is in Jeopardy so long as he has not the knowledge of triie ownership and the public is entitled to such knowledge."
