Samwell, examined by Mr. Whiting, said he was in business Can Raspberries, Can Strawberries, Can Pineapple. with the Dominion Supply Co. of Kingston, dealing in heavy hardware, selling to wholesalers and retailers. He told of his company having ia Nov., 1915, opened negotiations with the Robertson Manufacturing Com- pany for the purchase of 15,000 kegs of nails. The company got a supply of 2,683 kegs and put in a requisition for 7,113 more, but the company had falled to deliver these. It developed during the examina- tion of the witness that his supply of nails had been cut off because he had not stood by "association prices." His Lordship wanted to know what assoclation this was. Mr. Clarke stated that it was an association composed of manu- facturers of wire products who met at intervals to arrange prices. Mrs. Samwell, wife of the previous | | witness, told of hearing a telephone conversation her husband had with the Robertson Manufacturing Com- pany, in which Mr. Samwell stated that he could not sell at the associa- tion prices. Peter L. Robertson, president: of the company, said the understanding was that Mr. Samwell was to sell at i | "association prices." He told of an interview he had with Mr, Samwell when he found the latter was selling below the association prices, where- upon he was given quite a shock, "Why do you say you were shock- vod ?" asked His Lordship.

Mr. Morrissey Grateful for Favors He Received. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. H. W.

The devoted attention paid to my in- juries and my happy' cheerful en- vironment made me almost forget 1 had so recently escaped a violent death. Surely in these troublesome times such Christlike charity ex- tended to strangers should be deep- ly appreciated.
