(From Danbury News.) ‘
"rue excel at the‘Unifed sates ae-
preme Court's recent decision in the
criminal suit under the federal anti-
trust law against the omeials of the
National Cash Register Company. has
been somewhat obscure to the aver-
age citizen. The excitation of the
thick-and-thin defenders of monopolis-
tic combinations and the “dismay"
exhibited ‘by the federal law ofllcers
have caused a state of mind in which
one asks: “What has really hap-
pound?"
0n the. surface. at least, the result-
ant sitinflen does not satisfy one’s
sense of jubilee. The federal anti
trult act has been successfully en»
forced against labor, so rigidly en-
forced, indeed. that the court’s judg-
ment of $252,130‘ damages in the Dan-
bury {hatharo' oott case is now be-
ing collected by the triumphant man
ufachulfug drill against the iuck‘iess
page-earners who unexpecibuly found
themselves, in the toils of .ne Sher-
man law. But the effort" to enforce
the criminal clauses of the same law
against, amending corporations, in a
case deemed ‘ most favorable to tb
prosecution ends in complete failure
No trust official has ever been im-
prisoned or fined under the criminal
seem to have made virtually impos-
oihclals. It seems like a mockery of
justice that this should be the out-
come while the surviving Journeyman
batters of Danbury are losing their
modest homes.
This may not be a fair view of the
situation; yet it is unfortunate that
appearances may justify .thc old
clarge that the courts are soverer on
labor than on capital. Compare the
origibnl‘ofi'enses of the union batters
who boycotted an obnoxious firm of
manufacturers with the original of-
fenses of the National Cash Register
Company. The batters restrained in~
terstste trade by a refusal to buy me
iirm’s hats, the National Cash Regis-
tor Company established a. complete
domination of the industry by de-
alrbying Competitors even though
such vicious methods as bribery and
terrorism. The batters are finally
nailed by an inexorable $250. 000 Judg-
ment; the cash regiatér. officials es
cape altogether the punitive grip of
justice.
’lhe .National. Cash Register case
needs some analysis to comprehend.
In the trial court of the federal dis-
trict of southern Ohio, the company's
officials were'convicted by a jury and
the defendants were sentenced to
terms 'of imprisonment or were fined
under the law. On‘appeal from. this
verdict, the United States circuit court
ordered a new trial on the charge of

Aooerdhg to the classy court or

swer the following Questions:
fFlour often should valve in a gene
lone engine 1% to 5 horsepower be
ground? How often should carbon be
removed? II it necessary to overhaul
all automobile and grease beafings in
some more than one time in each
4,000 miles run? Is it good policy t
raise weight of automobile oi! tired
when standing in garage over night or
for several days? is it possible to use
heavy grease in transmission to re-
duce the humming sound in old cars?
Where can descriptive literature be
secured pertaining. to the Gnome en-
gine, also Diessel marine engine‘b—A.
R.
Birctly speaking a valve should be
ground whenever compression is look
ing past valve. Exhaust valve require
grinding more often than inlet valves,
and steel vales require grinding more
frequently than those having mutton
heads. There is. no fixed mile a! to the
nuttber of miles to be traversed be-
fore removing carbon, as so much de-
pends on the adjustment of the car;-
burotor and the quality and quantity
of oil supplies to the motor. However.
the carbon should be cleaned out when
it‘la present in sufficient quantity to '
cause pro-ignition. .
It is memory to raise weight of
car oi! tires. unless ear is left stand-
ing for long periods. Care should be
taken that tires do not come in con-a
tact with oil on algarage door. ‘
,riieavy grease in transmission helps
reduce the noise‘of operation. . .
