INVESTIGATOR OF TRUST FILES
REPORT WITH CANADIAN
GOVERNMENT.
Ottawa, Can. Green fruit producers
and consumers throughout Western
Canada and in a large portion of the
United States are under the domina
tion of jobbing and brokerage houses,
it was charged in a report filed with
the Canadian government by Duncan
Lewis, recently appointed to investi
gate an alleged fruit distribution trust.
, In his report Commissioner found
that the combination "has operated
detrimentally to the interests of the
Canadian public" in British Columbia,
Alberta. Saskatchewan and Manitoba
provinces. He further held that the
Nash houses, of which there are 4T> in
Canada .linked up with S-i in United
States, are a price-fixing combination
illegally maintained under the com
bines investigtion act of 1D2;1. It whs
under this statute that Lewis was ap
pointed as investigator.
Various combines under the Nash
leadership, described as the largest
handlers of green fruit in -the world,
according to Lewis, have divided west
ern Canada into brokerage areas and
have, compelled all brokers seeking
produce direct to jobbing houses to
pay toll to the brokerage houses of
fhe alleged combine. In some in
stances, the report, said, this toll
amounts to as’ much as f 1)0 a car. This
practice, the report holds, "restricts

FEDERAL RESERVE?GOVERNORS
REORGANIZE WITH PROS-
PERITY.
New York.—Directors of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York formally
recognized the rising tendency of
money rates, resulting from recent
business expansion and the greater de
mand for funds in expanded securities
trading .by raising the rediscount rate
from 3 to 3'j per cent. The 3 per!
cent rate which was the lowest in
the history of the federal reserve sys
tem as well ns the lowest bank rate
in the world, had been in effect since
August 8, 1924. The new rate be
comes effective at' once.
' The first effects of the advance
were felt in the foreign exchange mar

been expected to aid in the possible

Although both the stock and bond
markets are normally sensitive to any

not announced until after the close of
the sessions.. Dealings, however, were

Stone Mountain Sculptor Dismissed.

his superintendent of construction,
with malicious mischief in connection
with the destruction of the working
plans and models for carving the Con

which dismissed Borlum as directing
sculptor.
The warrant was served on Tucker
and Sheriff J. A McCurdy, of Dekalb

located, was looking fo. Borglum to
serve him with the warrant. The as

The association announced that it
had filed suit against Borglum for
$50,000 for alleged destruction of the
models and working plans. Armed
