TRUST BUSTING
ENDED BY WAR
SUPREME COURT WANTS TO
DODGE BIG CASES UNDER
SHERMAN LAW TILL
PEACE COMES.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 6.—
The United States supreme court
does not care to hand down any
anti-trust decisions during war
time. The five leading cases
brought under the Sherman law
have all been restored to the cal
endar for reargument.
One of these, the government case
against the International Harvest
er trust, has already been argued
twice, so the next time will bo the
.bird; then tue court will have to
ponder these arguments, which
may postpone 4he decision until
Germany has been defeated.
The loading cases for the supre
me court are this International
Harvester case, the United States
Steel corporation case, the prose
cution of the United Shoe Machine
ry company and the so-called an
thracite cases against the Lehigh
Valley and Reading railways,
brought to sever the connections
between the railroads and the min
ing industry
The government charges that
control of both mines and trans
portation enabled these railway
companies to monopolize the coal
Reasonable prices, and first class

Company.

The Shoe Machinery company is
charged with monopolizing the
shoe manufacturing industry by its
control of patents on shoe machin
ery, which is leased rather than
Bold to those who use it.
The suits against the steel trust
are based on the familiar charge,
that tho United States Steel corpo-'
ration is able to restrain trade by
reason of its control of ore beds,
steamship lines and railroads, as
well as of the mills which fabricate
the finished article.
For years, it is charged, the
steel corporation has fixed the
price and controlled the market.
The supreme court probably
feels that wartime is no time to
hand down decisions in “trust

The government has assumed di
rect control of the railroads and
coal industry all over the country;
so vhy fuss about the connection
between the Reading and Lehigh
Valley rallroacs and the mines?
The government is fixing the price
of steel by decree under special
(war laws; so why attempt to re
store competition in the steel in
dustry for the purpose of regulat
ing the price?
The government has used every
incentive to increase agricultural
products and is prepared to go
into the market and subsidize agri
cultural machinery if necessary; so
why fuss about prices charged by
the Harvester company?
In view of these facts, the
United States supreme court has
asked the solicitor-general to re
argue the loading trust cases.
