It was to be expected that fair, open

to sign the business men o f this city
up for 3-year contracts to patronize
the Sentinel exclusively, t h e r e b y
“ creating and maintaining a mono
poly in restraint o f trade,” an un
lawful proceeding, and which, had it
been reported t o t h e postal muthori-
ties at Washington at that time, would
probably have cost The Sentinel its
