Bill-Poster Suit Up

1916

Washington, Sept. 23. — The government's suit to dissolve the so-called bill-posters' trust reached the supreme court yesterday on an appeal by the defendants, convicted in Chicago, several months ago, of combination in violation of the Sherman law. The appeal asks review of the trial and sets forth that the defendant organization, the Associated Bill Posters and Distributors of the United States and Canada, since the conviction, has been reorganized into the Poster Advertising company and the Associated Bill Posters and Distributors' Protective association.
