THE MEN SUBJECTED
TO FEDERAL PROBE
Grand Jury Opens Investigation
on Charges of Violation of
Anti-Trust Act
A Federal (Sruud Jury today began a
thorough Investigation of charges that the
Tile. Orate and Mantle Association of
Philadelphia, whose members are composed
of retail til" dealers of this city. New Jer
sey and Iielavvaie, Is Injuring the business
of competitors, not members of the asso
ciation, b lolating the .Sherman antitrust
law
The Inqultv is being mule under the di
rection of Henry Mitchell, Special As.slstant'
Attorne; lii'iicral, and llrnest Harvej, Ac
siblant I'nited States Dlttrlct Attorney, of
this cttv
Independent retail dealers complain that
the association has so tied up the trade to
the advantage of Its members that the for
mer are unable ,to do business. Hy agi ce
ments nlth tile manufacturers, tile labor
unions prire agreements, penalties upon
member for falling to observe the .canons
of the association and other me ibures tho
association, independents assert, Is gradu
ally freezing them out.
Because the strictest s-ecrecy is main
tained In a Federal fJrand Jury lnvest'ga
tlon, neither Mr Harvey nor Mr. Mitchell
Tiould discuss the puiposo of the probe.
In these eatly stages the Investigation
will cover the activities of the association
In I'hllath IpMa, New Jersey nnd Delawaic,
and whether Itn scope will bo made more
far-rearhing depends upon tho character
of evidence that Is laid before the Grand
Jury .
Tnenty-cight retail dealers are members
of the association, It was said. The as
sociation Is affiliated with tho Interstate
Tile (irate and Mantel Association, ac
cording to Harold Watts, secretary of the
local 0rg.1nl2.1l Inn. but tho national asso
ciation is not under the searchlight.

eastern railroads opened a "heart-to-heart"
conferenco with Interstate Commerce Com

Tho presence of many western trnlllc ex

Tho railroad men explained that they are
making no flat demand for Increased

Philadelphia, countel for the eastern lines,
stated that financial icllef for the country's

For these ieasons, tho railroad men nio

SITUATION NOW CRITICAL
WASHINGTON. Oct. 17.
An effort by pro-Germans In tho South
west to Intimidate banks nldlng tho second
Liberty Loan was reported to tho Treasury
Department today. This was met with a
threat to rcmovo Government funds from
banks not giving tholr hoarty Co-operation
to the bond sales. At the samo time n
direct drive for subscriptions from tho Ger
man element Is under way
Minneapolis reported that German-born
farmers nro buvlng bonds, and one Texas
bank stated that a recently naturalized Teu
ton doubled his $1000 subscription following
a shower of congratulations.
Tho Liberty Loan rltuatlon Is critical to
day, the Treasury Department feels With
only nbout a fifth of the $5,000,000 000 goal
subscribed, "the hardest kind n! work" It
was officially stated, can bring succes lit
tho remaining ten days of the campaign.
Tha nation must now subscribe nt the
