STRIKING AT THE TRUSTS.

The recent decision of the
United States supreme court in a
case IN which Louis Voight &
Sons Company. of CINCINNATI. was
suing the Continental Wall Pa
per company is a step in the
right direction. and yet it only
serves to show the ineffective
ness of the present laws against
the trusts. In this decision the
court by a vote of FIVE to four
holds that a trust, when it has
once proved to be a trust. can not
collect debts due il. The ma
Iority OF the court hold that a
trust whose business is confess
cdly unlawful can not use the ma
chinery of the courts to enforce
contracts made with it. II is un-
fortunate that such a decision
should be rendered by a bare ma
lority. for one change in the per.
sonnel of the court might lead to
a reversal of the decision. and
yet. suppose the decision stands.
II is not likely to embarrass the
trusts much.
The following editorial from
the New York Times shows how
easily the trusts avoid this de-
cision:
ut is said that cells do notmind
the second skinning. and the wall
paper trust. being bad and dead.
is not likely to mind the decision
Just handed down. The question
is how the decision affects other
v',sts. IL would be a sad blow If
it disenabled them to collect any
bills. bu; as a matter of fact 1t EN-
barasses them only regarding the
debts which it is necessary TO col
lect through the courts To make
this decision OF no practical effect
it is only necessary to make all
sales payable upon delivery. or
even before delivery. That is a
good way TO do business, and es-
pecially good in the case OF pro-
ducers whose prices are so cxtor-
tionatc that they are collectible
only BY special obligation apart
from the interest of the unwilling
buyer. The case is far from prov
ing that trusts are vulnerable to
the law, since the case cmpha-
sizes the fact that the defendant
was not slain by the law. but by
its own uncommercial practices.
There will be no mourncrs at the
grave of this trust, and all other
bad trusts will do we'll to take
notice of the facts. Good trusts,
which sell to willing buyers at
reasonable profits, are not con-
cerned at all. unless perhaps the
decision may be taken to indicate
a fixed intention upon the part of
the court to construe the law
against trusts to mean exactly
what it says. hurt as it may and
whom it may. The effect of the
decision to encourage or to de-
press depends upon this rather
than upon the point settled"
