Washington. opinion Of the
supreme court of the United States in
the case of the Northern Securities
company versus the United States, in
volving the merger of the Northern Pa
cific and the Great Northern COM
panies, has been handed down and was
In favor of the government.
The opinion was read by Justice Har-
Ian.
The opinion of the circuit Icourt for
the district of Minnesota was affirmed.
The effect is to sustain the conteh-
ton that the Sherman antitrust law ap
plies.
Justice Harlan said that in the mer-
ger of the two roads the stockholders
disappeared and reappeared in the Sc
curities company, the two thus becom-
ing prac tically consolidated in hold
ing company, the principal object be-
ing to prevent competition.
mo scheme or device could certainly
more effectively come within the pro-
hibton of the antitrust law and it is
within the meaning of the act trust. "
The case has attracted rgeater atten-
ton than any other suit before the
court since the first insular cases were
decided and has been regarded by bench
and bar as equal in importance with
those cases and with the income tax
case.
1t was argued in December last for
two days and attracted general atten-
ton at that time as it did previously
when the decisioon was rendered by
the circuit court for the district of
Minnesota.
The action as brought in the circuit
court under the law of February IL,
1908, which was for the purpose of ex-
pediting the case and was heard by the
fourth circuit court Justices Of the cir
cult.
They united In decision favorable
to the United States and opposed to the
contention Of the railroad companies.
The suit was instituted by the United
States against the Northern Securities
company and the two railroad COM
panies, the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern and their leading stock
, holders, for the purpose of dissolving
the merger of the two roads which the
l United States declared had beer
! created by the creation of a holding
! company-the securities company.
The consolidation was claimed to be
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law. 1t was claimed on behalf of the
. government that this consolidation was
in effect pool created to promote the
! interests, not of one system at the ex
d pense of the other, but of both at the
expense of the public. The railroads
t claimed that the transfer of the stock
Q of the two companies TO the securities
S company was in the nature of a sal,
t perfectly legitimate.
The contention of the securities
= company was reviewed by Justice Har
u Ian, who said they had received full
attention. He quoted the various opiI
: ions involving the trust question, say
4 ing that from them it is to be gathered
. that all contracts in restraint of trade
" reasonable or unreasonable, are pro
: hibited by the Sherman antitrust law
and that congress has the power to es
p tablish such regulations as are laiC
T down In that law. Congress had tn,
u power to enact the statute.
