...really surprising features of the Teapot Dome investigation, thus far, has been the silence of Mr. Untermyer. But the New York lawyer has seemingly been laying for bigger game.

The suit is mainly directed against a contract system between the General Electric and several companies engaged in distributing electric bulbs, as preventing competition. The petition declares that the Company does a business amounting to about $50,000,000 a year.
