Steel Company Won Out In U. S. Dissolution Suit.

The U. S. steel decision was unanimous and the steel corporation won on every point. The decision holds that the corporation should not be dissolved, that the foreign trade of the corporation is not a violation of the Sherman law, that certain price fixing agreements which followed the now famous Gary dinner but which stopped before the bill was passed, to have been unlawful. The court allows the government to move to retain jurisdiction of the bill if such price fixing practices are renewed, but suggests that such matters may now be controlled by the new federal trade commission. The decision was rendered by the U. S. supreme court in Washington Thursday.
