NO VIOLATION OF. THE LAW
Acts of So-Called Tobacco Trust
tRy Associated Press.l

ST. PAUL. MIMI, November l2.-The
United States Circuit Court Of Appeals
to-day handed down an opinion In the
suit for treble damages brought by Joseph
P. Whitwel, a local tobacco dealer.
against the Continental Tobacco Com
5pany, known as the Tobacco Trust in
which Judgment is rendered In favor OF
the Continental Company. The opinion
aff1rms the Judgment OF the United States
District Court. which held that the refusal
of the Tobacco Trust to sell Its manufac-
tured product to whitwell did not constt-
tute legal injury. was not an act In
restraint OF Interstate commerce and does
not violate the national antitrust law.
whltwell alleged that the Continental
Tobacco Company charged prohibitive
prices for certain grades unobtainable
elsewhere. and attached as condition
to the snle OF such goods ti1at,its custom
ers should not buy OF competing conf
panies Of the Continental Company.
Whitwell. had done business with the
company on this basis for some time.
On May IS, 1902, however, he refused to
obey the requirements OF the company.
and being unable to procure goods else
treble damages under, the national anti
trust act.
The sole ground for the action was the
company's refusal toS sell him goods a
price which would allow him to make
a profit on his sales unless he would re-
fraIn from, handling other goods.
The court says the action OF the to-;
bacco company did not restrict competi-
ton between that company and the lnde-
pendent manufacturers, who are the
trusts competitors, because It left the
latter free to select their purchases and
to fix their prices and terms.
The court says: "'he tobacco company
and It's competitors were not dealers In
articles OF prime necessity, as corn and
veal. nor were they rendering public or
quasi public rvce. like a railroad COM
pany. Each Of them. therefore. had the
right to refuse to sell Its commodities
at any price.
The court goes further and says that
the acts of the tobacco company are notn-
ing more or less IMAM the lawful exercise
OF their unquestionable rights, which are
indispensable to the existence Of compe-
tltion or the conduct of trade.
