ANTI-TRUST LAWS
Indictment of'Picture Corporations PROBING ALLEGED ABUSES Bv Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received January 13, 7 p.m.) Washington, January 11. A Federal grand jury in St. Louis indicted 12 motion picture corporations, including Warner Brothers, Paramount, Vitaphone, First National Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer , and their various distributing subsidiaries, for violation of the anti-trust laws on an alleged refusal to supply a St. Louis exhibitor with films. The action is viewed with considerable interest in Governmental circles, as it marks the first important effort of the Administration to enforce the anti-monopoly laws since the N.R.A. became operative. In other circles the scope of the suit involving every major Hollywood producer is interpreted as a move in something of a punitive campaign by the Government for alleged abuses within the industry.
