FEDERAL SALT co. FINED.
To Pay 1000 for Violating Sherman
Antitrust Law.

SAT- FRANCISCO. Cal, May 1.-THE case
Of the United States against the Federal
Salt Company, charged with violating the
Sherman Antitrust law, was ended in the
United States District Court to-day by
Judge De Haven who, in rendering judg-
ment. sentenced the company to pay fine
of 81 900.
Previous to the passing Of sentence At
torncy Wright, on behalf OF the company,
made plea for leniency, saying that there
had been a great advance in the interpre-
tation of the law regarding trusts in the
past few years. and that at the time the
salt company was organized the law on the
point was not at all clear, and the managers
had been under the impression that they
were not guilty Of any unlawful act.
He also said that the company had obeyed
the injunction of the Circuit Court in the
civil case by a cessation Of the unlawful
combination.
The Federal Salt Company was organ
lied in the latter part of 1900, having its
principal place Of business in this city
Its purpose was the buying and selling OF
both domestic and foreign salt in California
and throughout the United States and
elsewhere. 1t proceeded TO enter into
and make contracts with nearly all Of the
importers, producers and dealers in salt.
No salt could be bought ut the time except
through the Federal Salt Company, and as a
result the trust controlled about 90 per
cent. of the trade.
