How the Scheme Works.

How the Scheme Works.
He said that the stockholders of the
two old companies are now united in
their interest in preventing al con1pe-
tition between the two lines. and that
they would take care that no persons
are chosen directors of the holding

between the constituent companies the
result being that all the earnings CT
the constituent companies make a COM
mon fund in the hands of the Securi

more certainly come within the words
of the act combination, in the form Of
a trust or otherwise . in restraint of

meaning of the act a trust: out If not,
il is a combination i'm restraint IF inter-
state and international commerce. and
that is enough to bring il under the
condemnation Of the act. The mere
existence of such a combination and
the power acquired by the holding COM

upon that freedom Of commerce which

went before Judge Wing with proceed

made the judge released them. Suisse
quently, Judge Wing refused TO take
the necessary steps TO have the papers
filed in the district court which would
enable the government to appeal the
cases to the United states supreme

before him on appeal from the United

judge and not before the district court.
and that none of the papers. therefore,
