AGAINST THE TRUST.
A Decision Rendered in the Addystone
Pipe Case.

Washington, Dec. An the United
States supreme court to-day the Addy-
stone pipe case was decided. This case
involved the constitutionality of the
combination of pipe manufacturers to
pipe which it was charged
was a trust The decision was handed
down by Justice Peckham and was adj
verse to the combination. 1t was there
fore in opposition to the trust. The
opinion concluded:
1T is almost needless to add that we
do not hold that every private enter
prise which may be carried on chiefly
or in part by means of interstate ship
mentS is going to be regarded as re-
lated to interstate commerce, so as to
come within the regulating power of
congress. Such enterprises may be of
the same nature as the manufacturing
Of refined sugar; that is, the parties
may be engaged as manufacturers of
a commodity which they thereafter in
tend at some time to sell and possibly
do sell in another state: but such sale
we have already held is an incident to
and not the direct result of the manu-
facture and so is not a regulation of or
interference with interstate commerce.
The principle is not affected by any
thing herein decided"
The decision draws a clear distinc-
ton between combinations affecting
interstate commerce and those apply
ing to one state only. The opinion at
tracted very great attention because it
is the first opinion on the subject OF
trusts which has been handed down
since the subject of trusts has come into
great prominence.
