DECISIONS AGAINST TRUSTS.
Rights Claimed by Combinations Are
Affected Unfavorably.

In the six different cases before the
Supreme Court at Washington the
rights or advantages claimed by cor
poratiOns known as trusts We're affect
ed unfavOrably. The two leading fea-
lures Of these decisions, taken as a
whole, were the upholding of the law,
which prohibits common carriers from
granting special privileges TO any one,
and the holding of the corporations re-
sponSible to the governments and laws
of the States in which they operate.
In three cases the New York Central
Railroad was involved, that railroad
corporation being required to pay S134,-
600 in fines for rebating to the sugar
Company.
In various cases of the United States
against the express companies, the
court held that under the Elkins law
for the free transportation of the
property of their OWE employees or of
the employees of other companies.
In the case of the Hammond Pack.
ing Company of Chicago, charged with
fixing the prices of meats in Arkansas,
the antitrust law of that State was
upheld and fine Of $4,000 affirmed
Justice White in rendering this de
c'sion said: 1T is the duty of a cor
pJration to live in the light of day
and to be prepared at any time to ex-
hibit it's proceedings to its creator, the

The right of State public service
commission to regulate the rates

CANNOT REACH SEARS-RoEBUCK.
Court Holds Mail Order House Need
Not Answer Town Indictment

BY simply ignoring the Indictment re-
turned against il by the federal grand
jury in Des Moines two years ago the
Sears-Roebuck Company of Chicago will
escape trial OF charge of using the mails
to defraud In an opinion handed down
by Judge Mcpherson of the United States
Court it is held that the big mail-order
house cannot be compelled to appear for
trial in the federal court. Judge Nc
Pherson points out that corporation can
not be arrested and brought before the
court as would be done in the case of one
individual. and there is no federal stat
ute which requires a corporation to go
into another State to stand trial if it does
not wish to do so. In the indictment the
SearsR oebuck Company was charged
with selling by mail paints and jewelry
which were different in form and quality
from those advertised in its catalogues.
Judge Mcpherson says if the government
so desires the alleged crime can be COW
cred by an indictment in the Northern
District of Illinois.

that the merger was in violation of the
