VIOLATES THE ANTITRUST LAW
United States Supreme Court Decision in
the Trcns-MissouT Freight Asso-
ciaHon Case

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 22-By q
majority opinion, delivered by Justice
Peckham. the Supreme Court OF the
United States to-day announced its de-
cision that the agreement in the Trans
Missouri Freight Association to maintain
rates within its territory was in viola
lion of the ANTITRUST law of 1890,
prohibiting ontracts or com binations in
restraint of trade. and must be aban-
doned. This reverses the decision of the
courts below, which ordered the dismissal
of the Governments bill. Justices Field,
Gray, Shiras and White dissented.
Justice Peckham, in the important
opinion rendered in the Supreme Court
to-day in the Trans Missouri Freight
Association case, said the case presented
two questions of i'm portance: First-Does
the antitrust act apply to and cover COM
mon carriers by railway? Second-If SO,
does the agreement com mplained of violate
any provision of that act?
The court finally holds: sThe question
is one of law in regard to the meaning
and effect of the agreement itself, namely:
Does the agreement restrain trade or COM
merce in any way so as to be violation
of the act?
I'VE have no doubt that it does. The
agreement on its face recites that it is en-
tered into for the purpose of mutual pro-
lection, and violation subjects the de-

line, they refusing to recognize the au-
thority of the admirals to establish such a
Gordon.
A body of Turkish troops who were try
ing to convey provisions to the forts at
Malaxa were held in check throughout
the day by the Christian insurgents.
The troops, finding that they could not
reach the fort, signaled to the gunboats
in Suda Bay, requesting aid The gun
boats opened fire upon the insurgents, but
could not drive them from the positions
they occupied, which effec tually COM
manded the approaches 10 the fort. So
far as known the fire from the warships
did no damage.
The insurgent leaders reiterate their re-
fusaI to ccepT autonomy from the pow
ers, and declare that If the island is not
annexed to Greece they desire war. l. it
were not for the support afforded the
Turks by the powers they would in a
short time be driven from the island.
Itls believed here that success has so
intoxicated the leaders of the insurgents
that they would not hesitate TO assume
actual hostiiities against the troops of the
powers. II they should join forces with
the Greek army of occupation and resist
the powers it would take strong force
and a large expenditure of money to con-
quer them.
The San Francisco call., 1897-03-23

faulting company to the payment OF a
penalty.
while in force, and assuming it to be
lived up to, there can be no doubt that its
direct, immediate and necessary effect Is
to put restraint upon trade or commerce
as described in the act. We think the
fourth section of the act invests the Gov
ernment with full power and authority to
bring such an action as this, and II the
facts be proved an injunction should Is
sue.
THE DEGREES of the Court of A ppeals of
the Circuit Court must be reversed and
the case remanded."
The dissent of Justices Field, Gray,
Shiras and White was announced by the
latter. He said that the decision OF the
court followed the letter of the law which
killeth rather than the spirit which giveth
life. The ultimate analysls OF that de-
cision was that there must be no trade.
An attorney who has been connected
with the litigation in its progress throug h
the Supreme Court, speaking of the effec
of the decision, said:
''It settles that the Joint Traffic Asso-
citation of the Eastern trunk lines is illegal
and that the decision OF the Circuit Court
of Appeals in New York on Friday last
sustaining the lawfuIness of that COM
bination was erroneous.
at will also compel the dissolution of
all similar combinations of railroads,
holding, in effect, as 1t does, that the
anti pooling clause of the interstate CON-
merce law is very mucn widened by the
antitrust act of 1890. 1t leaves the ques-
ton OF principle open whether manufac-
turing trusts can be reduced practically
under the ANTITRUST law.

Fresno's Hundred Thou
sand Club Is After
Agent Griffith.
Determined to Protect Eastern
People Against Fraud in
California.
Has Dem anded an Explanation of His
Doirgs as a Colonization
Schemer.

FRESNO, CAL, March 22,-The execu-
tive committee OF the Hundred Thousand
Club met this evening ana decided to
make as special order for the meeting OF
the club on Thursday evening the investi-
CATION Of the charges aginst S. N. Griffith
of swindIing Eastern people In land
selling scheme.
"Fresno has suffered enough from these
land swindlers," said q member of the
executive committee to CALL CORE
spondent tonight. "Several notorious
schemes have been worked on Eastern
people, and the result has been very in
furious to this county. If there is any
way to 10 it, the Hundred-Thousand Club
will put stop to the swindling."
1t appears that on his recent visit to
Chicago Mr.. Griffith used literature issued
by the club in advertising his own project.
1t is charged that he grossly misrepre-
sented facts. Feeling over the alleged
swlndle is running high. The real estate
agent will be invited to attend the meet
ing of the club and explain matters if he
can. The six men whom he induced 10
come to Fresno from Chicago will also be
there, and lively time is expected.
