trusts and combinations.
Justice Harlan read the opinion af-
firmng the order of the Federal Circuit
Court Of Minnesota, sustaining the con-
tention that the Sherman antitrust law
applies to railroad combinations.
Justice Brewer concurred in affirming
the merger decision, but for different
reasons than those of the majority.
Justice Harlan said that in the merger
of the two roads the stockholders dis
appeared and that they reappeared in
the Securities company, the two thus
becoming practically consolidated In

ing to prevent competition. mo scheme

State Rights Not Hit.
Replying in detail for the securities
company, Justice Harlan said that the
contention that the law is an interior
ence with the rights Of the individual
States by which the companies are in
corporated was not well founded. In
such cases, he said, the authority of Con-
gross is supreme. He declared 1T to be
unnecessary to determine the right OF
owners of railroad stock to sell the prop
erty. Nor was it true, he added, that
the right Of the securities company to
own and hold railroad stock is the only
question involved. Such contentious are
wide Of the mark-mere men Of straw.
All that the government complains of is
the existence of a corporation to repress
commerce, and it is not concerned with
the other points.
Justice Harlan said that In this
day there should be no doubt Of
the complete power Of Congress to
control interstate commerce. All ap-
propriate means might be resorted to for
that purpose. All the prior trust cases
