Chicago, Aug. ff.—Judge Landis, fresh from his bout witli the Standard Oil company, swung his big judicial club in the United States district court again and landed a knockout blow' on the church and school furniture trust, which he recently fined $43,000 for violation of the anti-trust laws. The court entered a decree by which permanent injunctions were issued against the companies that were fined, restraining them from further trust agreements or conspiracies to monopolize and restrain trade in violation of the Sherman law.
