Washington, Nov.1 18.?The suit ^ brought by the'Coca-Cola company to j enjoin the Koke Company of America j and several similarly named corporations in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and other Southern states from ' alleged trade mark infringements j and unfair competition was placed on the supreme court calendar today. In the normal course it should come up for argument before the end of the week. In addition to the request for a permanent injunction the petitioning company asked for an accounting of damages and profits, alleging that the name "Koke" was the same as that popularly used to designate its product and that the defendants unnecessarily made their syrup like CocaCola in color and marked it in bottles "deceptively resembling the plaintiff's in size, color and shape." The Koke Company of America based its defense on the allegation that the plaintiff had come into court with unclean hands because it3 product was misbranded and adulterated, and denied infringement. The case came to the supreme court on certiorari from the appellate division which had reversed a judgment for the Coca-Cola company granted in the lower courts. An exhibit in the case was a table showing the rapid growth of con-, sumption of the the drink from 25 gallons in 1886 to more than 6,750,000 gallons in 1913.
