JUDGES WILL RULE
ON ANTITRUST LAW
Supreme Court May Hear Stand
ard Oil Case Before That of
Tobacco Company

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-When the
supreme court of the United States
convenes Monday. February 81, long
list of decisions is expected.
Overshadowing all the rest. the suit
of the government against the Ameri-
can tobacco company and others is the
most important case under advisement
by the court 1t was argued several
weeks ago.
On account of the Standard oil case.
to be argued March II. and involving
similar questions, it is believed that
the decision in the tobacco case will
not be announced until after 5he
Standard oil suit has been heard.
One OF the most important laws
whose validity has been questioned
in arguments before the court is the
hours of service law for railroad
employees" passed by congress in 1907.
The railroads have attacked the law
as being applicable to employees en-
gagged in commerce within the state
as well as interstate commerce. It is
alleged that the law was open to objec-
tions similar to those that nullified
the liability law of 1906 a decision
in this case may be announced Feb
y
Another suit that has attracted much
attention t. that in which the govern
ment is seeking to get possession Of
property amounting to nearly S400,-
600, in the hands of Oberlin NJ. Car
ter, former captain in the engineer
corps of the army. who was sentenced
to prison for his alleged connection
with schemes to defraud the govern
ment out of $4,000, 900. The court
has the case under advisement
The validity of a large number of
state laws is questioned in cases
which the court has heard argued, but
in which it has not announced its
decision. Among these is the act
of the legislature of Minnesota. in
creasing to 4 per cent the rate OF the
gross earning tax on railroads The
Chicago Great Western railway and
the Great Northern railway have
brought suits TO the supreme court al
leging that, as applied TO them, the
law is void. because their charters
exempts them from paying a higher
rate than is specified in those
charters.

upon congress the proposed law for

istration to allow an automobile owner,

tor through any state In the union
