UNDER THE ANTI-TRUST LAW. Attorney General Crow Sues the Kare sas City Typothetae. Kansas City, Dec. 6.—A suit was filed in the Circuit court to-day on information of E. C. Crow, attorney general, charging that the Kansas City Typothetae is a trust, and as such ought to be dissolved and ite members fined and the franchises of the corporations that compose it re- voked. The Kansas City Typothetae is composed of sixteen of the leading job printing firms of this city. The petition filed in court to-day alleges that the firms in the Typothetae “have unlawfully, illegally and will- fully misused and abused their fran- chises, rights and privileges as cor- porations. organized to exist and do business under and according to the laws of the state of Missouri, and are carrying on their business in gross violation of the laws oi the state, be- cause they have created and become members of an organization known as the Kansas City Typhthetae, which is a pool, trust, agreement, combination, confederation and un- derstanding among themselvés and with each other to regulate, fix and control the prices to be paid for the product of the business of book and job printing and to prevent full and free competition in that business.” The state law against trusts and pools provides that each member of it shall pay to the school fund of the county, asa_ penalty, $100 for each day the trust or pool was in opera- tion. The petition asks that this law be enforced against each member of the Typothetae. The union printers and pressmen of Kansas City are on a strike. The State Teachers’ Association convenes at Jefferson City on Dec. 27. President Jessee has arranged the best program ever presented at such a meeting—many new features have been added.

The county com- missioners will have a meeting of their own to discuss questions per- taining to institutes, summer schools, examinations and grading of rural schools. The stutesuperintendant is anxious for them to adopt a policy on these questions which will insure harmony of ‘action and progress. More than one half of the 114 com- missioners have determined to be present. Keep Your Eye on DeArmond. Mexico Ledger Keep your eye on Hon.
