Points of the Tobacco Decision The Tobacco Trust decision is characterized by Attorney-General Wlckersham as a most comprehensive and sweeping victory for the Government. The trust is held to be a combination in restraint of trade a monopoly in violation of law. The decision affects 5 American corporations, 2 English corporations and 29 Individual defendants. An opportunity is given the trust to disintegrate and recreate a condition of transacting business not repugnant to law. If at the end of six to eight months the corporations fail to bring themselves within the law a receivership and dissolution by Court decree will follow. The trust Is held to have been guilty of Intimidation and clearly to have shown a purpose to stifle competition. " Chief Justice White announced the decision, which was practically unanimous, although Justice Harlan dissented on several points. As in the Standard Oil case. Justice Harlan resents the application of the "rule of reason" to the Sherman antitrust law. The Court having held the defendant corporations guilty of conscious wrongdoing. Justice Harlan "is not at all anxious" to perpetuate any new combination growing out of them.

GIVEN TRUST BY DECISION American Tobacco Company Held by the Supreme Court to Be Operating in Restraint of Trade. GIVEN SIX MONTHS TO BE REORGANIZED Justice Harlan, as in the Standard Oil Case, Gives Dissenting Opinion Ruling Most Important. (National News Association) Washington, May 30. In holding the American- Tobacco company a monopoly in restraint of trade, forbid den by the Sherman anti trust law, the supreme court of th United States Monday returned the c?so ii the "ir?nit court of the South dislrict of New York that the court may hM and super vise the company's organizuitoa. rfix months is given for tii9 com pany to reform its business that i may be conducted in accord with law. The judgment of the court was render ed by Chief Justice White. Eight of the nine judges joined in the decision. As in the Standard Oil case, and for similar reasons, Justice Harlan dis sented. Destruction of Property. From the dissenting opinion of Jus tice Harlan it appears that the opin ion of the court "was not completed un til May 27. This was the time when it was available for his inspection. It is made apparent in other ways that the court has sought diligently to prevent the destruction of property through its action. That it gives six months for the reorganization and pro vides in some detail how this shall be undertaken is evidence of them. This opinion-goes much more into the necesary reorganization than did the one handed down two weeks ago in the Standard Oil case. Its construe tion of the law i3 the same, but since the American Tobacco company is a trust of more modern formation it presented new questions. These have been met by the court with regard for the effect of their judgment.. Part of the Monopoly. One of the important findings of the Court is that the United Cigar Com pany should have been included as a constituent part of the monopoly. The decision also brings into the case again the foreign companies which were excepted in the decree of the lower Court. They are: The Imperial Tobacco Company, of Great Britain and Ireland; the British American Tobacco Company, T. C. Williams Company, David Dunlop, in corporated. Passing over the two remedies of issuing a permanent injunction against the company and the appointment of a receiver, as neither of them warranted, the Court turns to the reconstruction of the great business. A receivership it says: "Might not only do grievous injury to the public, but also cause wide spread and perhaps irreparable loss to many innocent people." Restraint of Trade. It then holds as follows, and this is the meat of the decision: That the Court below, in order to give force to the decree, should be directed to hear the parties, by evidence or otherwise, "for the purpose of ascertaining and determining upon some plan or method of dissolving the combination and if recreating, out of the elements now composing it, a new condition which shall be honestly in harmony with and. not repugnant to the law." HISTORY OF THE CASE Washington, May 30. Prosecutions by the' United States government to accomplish the dissolution of the American Tobacco company as a corporation in restraint of trade under the Sherman anti-trust law, and certain provisions of the Wilson tariff law, were argued, before the Supreme court of the United States on two different occasions. The first time the cases were brought before the highest tribunal, the bench had been sitting for five years without change in its personnal. Before a decision was reached, however, two deaths and one retirement occurred in its membership. This made it necesary to reargue the cases. The last argument of the cases was made before the court, January 5, lastThe first step in the government's case against the alleged monopoly was taken when suit was filed In the Southern New York district court, Juiy 10, 1907. In May, 1908, it was argued before circuit court judges Lacombe. Cox, Noyes and Ward. On November 7. 190S. the court handed down its decision, three judges concurring and one dissenting.
