ditions favorablo to the Allies, despite the
fact that they are being assailed by Ger

U. S. COURT
RULES AGAINST
Opinion by Judge Dickinson
Orders Dissolution of
Film Combine
DECLARED UNLAWFUL
An opinion finding that the Motion Pic
ture Patents Company, twelve other cor
porations and eleven IndHiduals consti
tute a "motion picture trust" in violation
of the Sherman anti-trust law, and must
be dissolved, was filed today by Judge
Dickinson In the United States District
Court In suit brought against the de
fendants by the Federal Government.
Testimony In the suit showed that E12
motion picture theatres In the United
States had been forced out of business
tffjd that 147 were refused licenses to start
the exhibition of films by an elaborate
"squeeze" system similar to that formerly
employed by the Standard Oil Company,
whlchrflnally led to the dissolution of that
trust,-'
Tho opinion holds that the alleged trust
should be dissolved, but made an excep
tion In the case of the Melles Manufacturing-
Company, one of the corporation
defendants. It was exnlalnd thnt nn
' nronf In KllhnfantlntA ht ....Mi.aa!...... iff
the Government could be "found to Im
plicate the company In the alleged con
spiracy. The Motion Picture Patent Company,
organized -In 1908 with a capitalization of
1100,000, was tho principal defendant, it
being the Instrument through which the

avidity the comparison that the morning

with a table showing what value each
was to his club compared to the others.
"Just wait until they get to me and
Speaker," said Paskert. "I guess they
will figure me as a big zero standing out
there."
This prophecy almost came true today,
when not only Fulierton, but a number
of other scribes told how Paskert would
not figure In the series compared with
tho alleged wonder from Boston via
Texas.
When Moran's eentreflelder read the
