CHARGES CABAL TO HOLD PRICES Department of Justice Says Dealers Forced to Buy.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.—A conspiracy to hold up high prices of wearing apparel exists and Is being supported by manufacturers and jobbers of clothing, according to charges made in a formal statement isssued by the department of justice today. “It only remains to fix personal responsibility before Tigorous prosecution i,-j begun,” the statement declared. "Mills have been closed arbitrarily.” the statement declared, “and the closing of these mills have been used to threaten retail dealers if they do not buy on the present market their supplies wilt be curtailed and even higher prices will RiaU.’ r manufacturers and jobbers of wearing apparel are “using the same tactics as were used during the recent speculative period,” the statement declared. *’A carefully pjlanned campaign” is being carried on to orce retail dealers to buy at the present market prices, the statement said, and in many instances a guarantee is being given against a decline in prices, in violation t f the Lever law. Retail dealers have refused to buy at 1 resent prices, according to the department of justice, and the alleged conspiracy has been formed to force and Intimidate them. Tbe public by its refusal to buy during the spring and summer months has created a condition which should result in lower prices for clothing, according to the department of Justice, but manufacturers and jobbers have a “welldefined campaign” to maintain the figures during the speculative period. “A thorough investigation is now under way,” the department announced, "and prosecutions are expected within a short time.”

WELLESLEY. Mass., Aug. 2.—Miss Bessie B. Parker, private secretary to Roger W.

Miss Parker is to become the bride of Elroy L. Powers of Norwood, a $2,009-a-year employe of the Pinkham Press. She believes, she says, that woman’s place is the home.

BULLETS FLY IN NIGHT HOLDUPS Thug’s ‘Victim’ Retaliates by Using Pistol. All of the Indianapolis holdup men behaved themselves Sunday night, committing no robberies, but the local league of bandits operated In a big way Saturday night. Detectives today are searching for the man who had a bullet wound dressed at the office of Dr. N. I. Berger, 541 East Market street, as the police believe him .the one who fought a revolver battle with *y J. Outhouse, 854 Olney street, Saturday night. The robber ran without obtaining any money from Outhouse. C. A. Perry of the aviation depot at the speedway, was held up and robbed by a man at the Emerichsvllle bridge, the thief escaping in an automobile.

Patrolman Schreiber was walking on Massachusetts avenue early Sunday morning, when he saw a big automobile pass him at high speed and opened fire at the tires.

With the members of the Indianapolis Musicians' Protective association, who walked out on a tifrike Saturday night, remaining firm in their demands of increased pay there was little prospect of the controversy being ended today. Yesterday theaters affected by the strike were using substitute music for the pit orchestra, consisting of pipe organs and piano. it is understood the union will not object to arbitration. The musicians are demanding a si*day week and the stumbling block appears to be whether Sunday is to be included in the six-day week. If the strike continues until the legitimate theaters begin tbeir seasons it undoubtedly will affect the musical comedies honked early. The opening of the Park theater has been set for next Monday, and the orchestra in this house has been an important asset.
