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
