Court Sustains Macy In Seling Publi
 cations at Cut Prices.

A decision has been handed down in the United States circuit court, New York, by Judge Ray in the action of the Bobbs- Merrill company and another publishing house against k. H. Macy X Co for an injunction to restrain Macy's from selling copyright books at less than the retail prices fixed by the Publishers association, which, it IS expected. will have a far reaching ef- feet on all trade combinations. Steph- en H. Olin and ex-Attorney General w. IT. H. Miller appeared for tine com plainants and John G. Carlisle and Ed mond F.. Wise for the defendants.
 Judge Ray gives q sweeping decision in favor of R. H. Macy X Co. dismiss ing the complaint and criiicising trade combinations, which he holds to be in violation of the sherman antitrust law. The attitude of R. H. Macy X Co in re fusing to adhere to the prices fixed by the Book Publishers association is strongly upheld. Judge Ray in the course of lengthy opinion says:
 When all publishers of and dealers fin copyright books-and nearly all new UpbhS NVA'a bine to exact q fixed arbitrary price. etc. the readers of books become pow erless, if they would read at all. not because of the monopoly granted or sanctioned by the government in grant ing the copyright. but because of the new monopoly. the conspiracy of mo nopolists. created by the agreement and combination of these monopolists. one that is forbidden and denounced by the act of July .. 1Sla"
 Judge Ray further says that if the northern securities and kindred cases ..are to he respected as law and follow cd in cases where there is no hue and cry against railroads this combination Is illegal and in restraint of interstate 
 The opinion concludes:
 "The combination is seeking to en- force against the defendants an unlaw- ful combination agreement. to winch such defendants are not parties and hy which they have not consented to be come bound in selling books of which they are the absOIue owners"
