KODAK TRI ST. Washington. Jan. 17.?The "kodack truBt" is the latest of the great cor porations sued under the Sherman anti-trust act to seek a peaceful pet itement with the department of Jus tice. An agreement probably will be reached within a Bhort time. Suit was begun against the East man Kodak Company of New Jersey, and Eastman Kodak Company of New York, at Buffalo, last June. Answer was made by the defendants and the taklqg of testimony by the govern in' n is near completion. Settlement of the nuit may be reached either by an agreement of court, or In the form of a "consent :decree' registered in a Federal court. The success of the agreement plan ho far has inclined officials to favor it in this case. In the bill fil?d in Buffalo th? two Eastman concerns were charged with controlling 12 p?r cent of the trade of the United States in photographic supplies and with fixing the re-sale price of cameras an dsuppl'es. It xrau the first suit instituted by Attor ney General MlcReynolds challenging the right of patentees to fix re-sale pric?B for retailers. Attorney General McReynolds asked for a division of the assets and busi ness of the two companies and the negotiations under way have been begun with the understanding that be would not be satisfied with any other arrangement. One difficult problem of the case was the charge that the General Pa per Company, a German concern, sells raw photographic paper at a discount to the Eastman concerna and refuses to supply any other manufacturers or dealers in the United 'States., i . The investigation of the so-called trust was begun in the administration of Attorney General Wickersham. but dllxjg of .? suit was delayed pending (She-result of negotiations with him trhfch eventually i failed. Ai the time the suit was begun in Buffalo, George Eastman, president of tho company, doctored some of the government's do msfifds would be ' met^J3uic? then, however, there bad been little talk of on agreement until a short tlmo AT AUt-Tii?. !
