CONSPIRACY ALLEGED IN' FEDERAL SUIT Conspiracy In Restraint of Trade and Violation of Anti-Trust Law Charged. Cleveland, March 21.— Conspiracy in restraint of trade and in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law was charged to the General Electric com- pany and its entire system for manu- facturing and distributing electric light bulbs late yesterday in a suit filed in the federal court here by United States District Attorney A. E. Bernstein. The petition demands that a system | of contracts existing between the Gen- cral Electric company and the several concerns engaged in the distribution of lamps manufactured by the com- pany be adjudged a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and that they be ordered annulled. The contract system by which the company distributes {ncandescent bulbs is declared by the petition to havé been created as a device to de- feat the provisions of the anti-trust uw and to prevent competition, It declares that the business of the firm amounts probably to $50,000,000 a Year, With the General Electric company, the Westinghouse Electric and Manu- factyring company and the Westing- liouse Lamp company are named as co-defendants. The lamp corporation is character- d in the suit as “but a bureau of di- ion of the parent company's (the Westinghouse Electric and Manufae- turing company) business.” Three companies are said to form a com- Lination or mopopoly of the elelcrlc light business. The suit was filed under the direc- ‘tion of Attorney General Oaugherty. Tt harks back to patent rights claing ed by the General Electric company for exclusive manufacturing of tung- - sten filaments used in the better type of electrie light bulbs. The General Electric's exclusive control of them, the petition avers, vests in it a practical monopoly of the manufacture and sale of electric lamp bulbs, LET HUERTA ESCAPE Mexican Government Will Not ) Any Effort to Capture Rebel Army ake Leader. New Orleans, March 21.—The Obre- gon governmient will afford Adolfo De Ta Huerta every opportunity to es- cape from Mexico, # was learned in officlal Mexican circles today. This decision is said to be based on senti- mental reasons, The rebel chieftain was considered the “boy” in the Obregon-Calles-De La Huerto triumvirate, the Mexican president and his chief adviser, Calles, who are many years his senior, having “brought up” De La Huerta, Because of this, Obregon s anxious to apprehend De La Huerta, as it would be necessary to infliet the death penalty. Orders have been is- sued, it is understood, that the gun- boat Bravo is not to touch at Fron- tera until De Lh Huerta has eseaped. The Obregon government would be ploased if Dé'La Huerta selected New Orleans as his place of exile. Mrs, De La Huerta and her two sons arrived here several days ago.
