Chicago, May 20.-Judge Lands has
fined F. A. Holbrook, the American
Seating company and the A. H. An
drews company $4,000 each and nine
other furniture companies amounts
ranging from $500 to $4,000, for viola
ton of the antitrust laws in forming
Z conspiracy in restraint Of trade. The
defendants pleaded guilty.
Judge Lands preceded the delivery
of sentence by a scathing denunciation
OF the methods adopted by the church
and school furniture trust, declaring
that the punishment fixed by law is
inadequate to fit the crime. The com
parative poverty of the smaller firms
furnished the courts reason for not
fning them the maximum.
Holbrook acted as sort of clearing
house for the combine, which called
itself the Prudential club, Judge Ian
dis said. Holbrook apportioned the
contracts and by means of dummy
bids members Of the combine avoided
