\ .THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C,; TUESDAY, DECEMBER 25 1928 COMBINE CHARGED 10 MOVIE OWNERS Banded to Limit Films to Oklahoma Organization, Petition Claims. By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, December 25.— Charges of violating the Sherman anti- trust law were filed against the motion picture theater owners of Oklahoma in Federal District Court here vesterday by Roy St. Lewis, United States district attorney. No individuals were named in Lewis’ petition, which charged the organiza- tion maintained theaters throughout Oklahoma and Northern Texas and that theater owners had banded together to restrict trade ja films to members of the organization. The petition recites that a conspiracy exists against “non-theatrical exhibit- ors' and says that interstate commerce is involved, since all of the films were made outside Oklahoma and shipped in from various producing centers, An injunction was asked by the dis- trict attorney for the protection of non- theatrical exhibitors, which he described as churches, schools and other agencies which display films, but primarily are not _exhibitors of motion pictures. The petition, which is signed by John Bargent, Attorney General of the United States; William J. Donavon, assistant to the Attorney General, and by Lewis, further charged that members of the assoclation adopted a resolution to fight films exchanges serving non-theatrical exhibitors and that “the defendant and certain individuals * * * are engaged in a conspiracy and combination within the United States in restraint of trade and commerce among the ceveral States in motion picture films, in viola- tion of the act of Congress of July 2, 1890."
