so EVIDENCE SHOWS
Prices Fixed by the Company
and Dealers Are Not Al
lowed to Deviate.

Washington, Aug. 17.-With refer
ence to the suit to be instituted by the
government against the International
Harvester company for alleged viola
zion of the Sherman antitrust act it is
stated that a year or more ago conf

of the bureau of corporations have ac.
cumulated mass of information or

company has violated the antitrust
law is assured to be conclusive.
Monopoly Is Charged.
The investigation disclosed the fact.
it is alleged, that the parent company
controls practically all of the big reap
er and mower and thresher plants in
the country, and that an apportion-
ment of the country is made among the
various subsidiary concerns in such
way that no one of them will come into
business conflict with any other.
1t further is alleged that prices of
| the farm machinery manufactured bE
the International Harvester company
are fixed by the concern, and from
those prices dealers are not permitted
to vary.
| Dominates the Trade.
In this way, and through its control
of the many plants, the company, it is
| declared, is able to dictate the output
of such machinery, the parts of the
country into which it shall go and the
| prices at which it shall be sold. Thes:
conditions apply. it is said not only in
America, but to foreign countries as
well.
| The operations of the company, as
viewed by officials of the department
of justice. are in restraint of trade
No intimation is given of the date of
the institution of the government 5

dental to the preparation of the gov
ernments case.
