FOLLOWED NRA, OIL FIRMS SAY

Test of Antitrust Law May Bring New Regulation Of Business.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer MADISON, Wis, Oct. 7—A test of the Sherman Antitrust Law which may bring a new approach to regulation of big business is the really significant aspect of the trial here—in the capital of the La Follotte domain—of 24 oil companies, three trade publications and 47 individuals for alleged conspiracy to fix the price of gasoline throughout the Middle West. For, at the very outset, the case doubled back sharply to NRA, that instrument of economic recovery which among other things loosened the antitrust restrictions to let corporations enter agreements covering wages, hours and prices. . Oil companies, fighting the Government’s charges, immediately sought refuge behind the now defunct NRA, contending that their alleged price-raising methods were in keeping with NRA principles. Fight NRA Evidence The Government's anxiety over this issue’ was surprisingly demonstrated when, even before the defense could raise it publicly, Hammond E. Chaffetz of the Justice Départment asked Federal Judge Patrick T. Stone to outlaw all reference to NRA apd pestrict the trial to the evidence which Justice Department investigators gathered over a period of several months and which, when laid before a grand jury here last year, formed 18 tons of material. This provoked a loud outcry from William J. Donovan, the “Wild Bill” of World War fame, Assistant Attorney General under President Hoover in charge of antitrust prosecutions, who directs the battery of high-priced defense lawyers and advises the oil magnates, representing billions of dollars who have settled down here and taken over some of the .city’s handsome residences for the duration of the trial. Mr. Chaffetz said the Government never did approve any pricefixing activities in the oil industry. The defense hints it ‘has proof. Judge Stone, a youngish, baldhead(Turn to Page Eight)

“Jim Didn’t Like School,’ Chum Says at Poet’s Fete

(Scherrer, Page 17; Editorial, Page 18)

By LEO DAUGHERTY Times Staff Writer GREENFIELD. Oct. 7. — This birthplace and boyhood home of James Whitcomb Riley today dreamed of the immortal Hoosier poet as he had dreamed of drawings and rhymes and the “Ole Swimmin’ Hole.” The few remaining chums of his school days—and the days he played truant—visioned again the barefoot boy strolling along the banks of the Brandywine he made famous, as young and old observed the 88th anniversary of his birth.

STRIKE CALLED BY DRIVERS OF 2 CITY DAIRIES

Deliveries by Other Firms Late; Police Put on 12-Hour Duty.

CONTRACTS DEMANDED

Walkout Illegal, Says Council; Wages, Closed Shop, Hours Among Demands.

(Photo, Page Three)

A strike of truck drivers at two milk companies which forced all milk concerns to make deliveries several hours late today, continued this afternoon. C. W. Hunt, Indianapolis Milk Council secretary, said “there. has been no change since this morning.” Indiana Labor Division officials said they might attempt to seek a settlement later today. John Williams, business manager of the Milk & Ice Cream Drivers, Salesmen & Employees Local 774, said “there will be no break in the strike until contracts are signed with the two companies.” He added that plans were under way now to negotiate contracts at other local plants. Although no violence was reported, police were ordered on 12hour shifts and 45 special officers were recruited. All motorcycle officers were called to emergency service. Capt. Edward Helm, in charge of the day force in the absence of Chief Morrissey, said the orders “probably will continue until a settlement is reached.

Strike at Two Plants

He said motorcycle officers escorted some delivery vehicles “to see that no one was injured or property damaged.” Strikes were in progress at the Capitol Dairies, Inc, Sherman Drive and 12th St., and the Weber Milk Co., 1125 Cruft St. About 50 pickets were at the Capitol firm, None was reported at the Weber plant. Meanwhile, Prosecutor Herbert M, Spencer warned that interference with ‘the delivery of milk is a" félony ypunishable by a prison, ce. of not less than one nor more | five years, and a fine not to exceed $1000. “Milk is a necessity and it will be the duty’of this office to see that the law is obeyed to the letter,” he said. Mr. Hunt said “the strike is neither authorized nor legal. Fifteen per cent of the drivers are trying to. control all of Indianapolis’ milk plants to gain outrageous demands.” Mr. Williams claimed that 140 were on strike. He denied that siriiers had attempted intimidation of workers in nonstriking plants. He said the union is demanding a closed shop, 48-hour work week, daylight delivery, $25 a week minimum for plant employees and $30 a week minimum for drivers. He also claimed the union had 500 members, “more than 70 per cent of the local dairy employees.” 7% An official at the Weber Co. said all drivers, about 40, were out on strike. Milk was delivered only to hospitals, he said.

By United Press Secretary of State Hull squelched any hope of European powers that the United States would play a leading role in trying to curb Japan in the Far East. He emphatically declared that the United States would not take the initiative in convoking the praposed consultations under the Nine-Power Treaty.

possibility that Washington might be the stene of the treaty conver sations, but in official quarters :t was indicated that this Governmecwt probably ‘would oppose éfforts to move the consultations to the capital for fear that the public. would believe that the United States was taking the lead.

Emphasizing America’s desire of a follow-the-leader role, Secretary Hull said the United States was waiting an invitation" to consulta tions with signatories to the Nine« Power Treaty. European optimism was stirred by the State Department’s announcement condemning Japan. On the other hand, Tokyo was deeply annoyed and showed no inclination to yield an inch under international pressure. The Spanish situation vied with the Orient in world attention. Brite ain ‘and France were prepared to reject an expected proposal by Italy that the problem of withdrawing foreign volunteers from Spain be discussed by the Nonintervention Committee of 21 nations in London, instead of only by Britain, France and Italy.

U. S. Will Not ot Take Lead, Hull Says

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 (U.

Secretary Hull said no invitation had yet been received by this Government but he indicated that he expected to receive an invitation as one of the signatories to the treaty. The machinery by which the invitations will be issued apparently has not been worked out. Senator Hull indicated he was not certain from what source the invitation would come. The conference of Nine-Power Treaty signatories is expected as the second step in mobilization of world peace machinery in the Far East.
