washington. D. O., october e..
The Department Of Justice to-day
took most drastic action against the
American Tobacco Company. in order
ing the attachment of consignment
OF leaf tobacco from Durham, N. c., to
pany, of Great Britain. at Norfolk.
The consignment is valued at about
$1,000.
The action OF the department was
taken under section OF the Sherman
antitrust act, which authorizes the gov
ernment to seize and condemn the prop
erty OF any trust while in interstate
or foreign commerce. No attempt was
ever made to enforce this section OF
the law before.
The government Is now proceeding
against the trust on the ground that
1t is monopoly. in violation Of the
Sherman antitrust law. The case Is
pending in the United States court In
New York State. Former Assistant
Attorney McReynolds, Of Ten
nessee. represents the government in
the prosecution of the case.
He said in this city day or two
ago that the government would pro-
ceed along new line in reply to the
that this seizure Of the shipment from
Norfolk is part OF the new line
adopted by the government.
British Company In Trust.
It is charged by the government that
the British-American Company is a
foreign branch OF the trust. the Ameri-
can Company owning two-thlrds OF tn,
capital stock OF sso.ooo.000. and tbs
Imperial Tobacco Company owning the
rest.
The department charges further that
the British-American Company was
created solely for the purpose of vio-
lating the laws of the United States
against monopolies. While Its princlpa

tion as to whether the American To

meaning OF the. Sherman law against
trusts.
