EQUITY SUITS
To Be Brought Against
Steamship Pool.
Touching Of Vessels al Amer
lean Ports Basis Of Procedure.
Pooling Arrangement Seems TO En-.
brace Passengers and Freight.

Washington, March 30.-Suit in
equity under the sherman anti trust
law is to be instituted by the depart
ment of justice against what is known
as tie European Steamship pool. on
the ground that it is an arraignment
in restraint Of trade. The fact that the
vessels owned by the steamship com
ranics forming the pool or a number
Of them. touch at American ports. is
tha basis for proceeding against them
under the Sherman law, since that en-
actDent gives the government juris-
diotiGn to punish violations of law af-
fnct,ar both interstate and foreign
commerce. All the steamship cnmpa-
MES involved are foreign organiza-
tons
Tho matter has been under inyesti-
gaticn by the federal grand jury in
New York for a long time and it is ex-
pactcd the suit will be instituted in
that CITY the American headquarters
Of most Of the steamship lines involv-
60 in the pool. United States District
Attorney Henry A. Wise, who has been
conducting the inquiries on behalf of
the government, probably will direct
the suit.
The grand jury's investigation, it is
said. showed that the pooling arrange
ment embraced the transportation of
both passengers and freight. On the
American side Of the Atlantic it was
charged that the agreement had it's
ramiications in the shape of rebat-
