DECISION AGAINST TRUSTS.
a New York Case Which May Have Inn
portant Bearings Elsewhere.

ELMIRA, Y. V, February l9.-In the
case OF the Clipper Chilled Plough Com
pany Of Elmira, y. Y, which had APP
pealed for dissolution of deal with the
National Harrow Company, recently
organized combine OF the harrow manu-
iacturers OF the country, Judge Smith
OF the Supreme Court OF New York said
that under the stipulatiOns OF this con-
tract the defendant had assumed TO fix
the prices for the sale OF harrows
made by these manufacturers. These
prices are not based upon the cost OF
manufacture. but are uniform with
all manufacturers upon a certain style
Of harrows. As practically construed
by the defendant it gives the defendant
absolute power to regulate the prices at
which these harrows shall be sold, 10
raise or lower them at pleasure. 1t is
hard to conceive how a monopoly
could be more firmly intrenched, or how
competition could be more effectively
strangled. The decision concludes as
follows:
That the plaintiffs are entitled to
the relief asked in the complaint, and
that the injunction allowed the defend
ant upon the counter claim must be va
Gated and set aside, and the defendants
prayer for relief denied"
The effect OF this decision is to cancel
the contract OF the company with the
trust. and to permit any individual
company in the combine to sell their
product at such prices as they them
selves shall determine.

THE WINDOW GLASS TRUST.
The Eastern Men Have Ii in for the
Western Manufacturers.

PIrTsBURG. PA, February IA
special from Findlay, Ohio. says: Ever
since the Pittsbnrg window glass man
ufacturerS failed to induce the factories
located in the gas belts of Ohio and In
diana to join the great glass trust,
which they were trying TO form
about the first OF the year, under
the laws OF Illinois, there has been bad
blood between the east and the west.
The Pittsburgers sought at first to get
even for what they termed the treach-
cry OF the Western factories by cutting
prices, which was carried on until a
great deal OF inferior stock was sold and
the trade thoroughly demOralized. Now
these Eastern men have started In on a
new lead and have agents out buying
up all the product of the fac
tories outside of Pittsburg. the
object being to thus corner the
market by controlling the production, as
they bargained for all the glass that a
factory may make from now on until
the end OF the June fire. As soon as
these Eastern manufacturers get con
troll OF the output OF all the factories
possible, it will put up the price OF win
dow glass to figure that will take the
breath out OF iobberS and builders.
That this is the scheme now on
is evidenced by the fact that the
change of the five window glass fac
tories in this city have been secured by
PittSburg parties under the pretense
that it was needed to OIL orders that the
foctorins Centralized
