Violated Anti. Trust Law

Cincinnati, October 10.-The United States
marshal, in accordance with instructions
from the United States court at Chatta-
nooga, today gave notice to the officers of
the Addston Pipe and Steel company. OF
this city, that they had been indicted ae
Chattanooga for violation of the antitrust
law, and were required TO give bond for
their appearance before the United States
court at Chattanooga. This action is un-
derstood to be the result of a decision rem
dered by udge Taf last spring. in which
he pointed out the manner in which certain
iron and steel companies were liable to
Indictment for violation of the law.
