Conspiracy in restraint of trade was charged agalust the Ore gon Wholesale Grocers' association, seven Portland wholesale grocery and two hardware companies and 27 of ficials in a bill of complaint filed iu United States district court. The United States government made the accusations following a six months' investigation by department of justice agents and agents of the federal trade commission. Harlan F. Stone, attorney-general, ordered and directed the probe. Dissolution of the association was asked. An injunction was requested perpetually restraining the defendants from fixing prices, increasing prices, practicing coercion upon manufactur ers, refusing to sell to grocers not abiding by rules of the association anil agreeing to fine grocers not abiding by rules.

Atkinson, also a special as sistant to the attorney-general. Clar ence Sadler, of the federal trade com mission, aud John Petrovitsky, agent ni the department of justice, conduct ed the investigation. "Numerous complaints filed with government officials in Portland and Washington, D. C. prompted the in vestigation,'' Mr. Guiler 'stated. "At torney General Stone immediately or dered that we go into the matter thor oughly, declaring that all combinations to increase prices of necessities of life be broken up." "We have found a startling condi tion here which has existed for a num ber of years. Under the Sherman anti trust act we have two remedies, one. action in equity, the other, criminal action. We have adopted the first method. If it fails we may adopt the second. Similar complaints have been filed against the California Wholesale Grocers' -association. Southern Cali fornia Wholesale Grocers' association, I'tah-Idaho Wholesale Grocers' asso ciation and Seattle Produce associa tion. "Price fixing by the association has been done through committees. The class A committee fixed the wholesale prices of certain groceries. The class C committee fixed prices of other sta ples. A sugar committee fixed the price of sugar. Another committee fixed the price of fruit jars." The government is prepared. If need be, to bring In from 200 to 300 wit nesses. Mr. Guiler said.

WAY OUT IS OFFERED Question Regarded as Concerned With Immigration Referred to Sub-Committee. Geneva. A grave crisis preva.led Sunday night in the peaco discussions through Japan's insistence upon an amendment to the proposed protocol ot arbitration und security. So critical was the situation judg ed to be that Franco suggested that the Japanese amendment, which con cerns the interpretation of state rights as related to arbitration, and which everybody understands as referring to the immigration problem, should be considered calmly by a sub-commit tee. A motlou by the French to this end was accepted by the arbitration committee. Japan offered her amendment after f day of fruitless private conferences Viscount lshii consulted with M. Brland. M. I.oucheur, Sir Cecil Hurst, and other leaders, but no one was able to find a formula acceptable to the Japanese. At 9:30 tonight, when the arbitra tion committee had very near com pleted its revision of the protocol text. M. Adachl arose and formally moved the suppression of the clause In the protocol draft which procluims an aggressor state any country refusing to abide by the decision of the world court of justice. The clause in ques tion refers to disputes which one party declares to have arisen over a subject which is exclusively within its domestic jurisdiction. If the world court accepts this view and rules that the matter is In fact domestic in nature and the other, the opposing state, refuses to accept the decision and goes to war, It then be comes an aggressor and will be punished as such by the other mw bers of the league. M. Adachl wanted this clause stricken out altogether, asserting that it involved great injustice to the plain tiff state and shut off all avenues of peaceful settlement. Reading his statement dramatically and slowly, amid tense, almost painful silence, the Japanese delegate accused the league of nations ot not fulfilling its high mission, because It was proclaiming a state a criminal without offering any solution of the difficulty. He argued that questions judged by the court to be within the exclusive internal jurisdiction of a state might cause the gravest kind of Injustice to the other state, which should have the right to provii the righteousness of Its complaint. Senor Fernandei, a Brazilian Jur ist, combated the Japanese amend ment. It has the effect, he said, of putting the sign of approval on the most inadmlssable, as well as the most cruel wars of all those grow ing out of a conflict over a state's hov. reign rights. U. S.
