FLUORESCENT LIGHT
DEVELOPMENT RETARDED AGGUSATIGH AGAINST AMERICAN COMPANIES Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright (Roc. 10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. The Justice Department attorney, Mr John Walker, accused General Electric, Wostinghouso Electric, and over 100 public utilities companies of operating together to retard the development of fluorescent light throughout the country because it requires only one-third to one-half the current required for incandescent lighting. Air Walker told the Senate Committee which is investigating patents that as the result of the companies’ actions lighting and power bills for homes and industries were held up to a high level. At the same time the conservation of electric energy for the war production programme was materially blocked.
