GRIEF SAYS DEFENDANTS HAVE
PRAcTicED WICKED AND
UNFAIR METHODS.
10 KILL COMPETITION
TEN MILLION DOLLARS ExPEND.
ED TO iNFLUENcT PUBLIC
SENTIMENT.

Washington.-In a printed brief of
26S pages Attorney General Wicker
sham and his special assistant. J. C.
McReynolds Thursday presented to
the Supreme Court of the United
States the case of the government in
the famous tobacco trust cases. which
will be argued next week in that court.
The cases were tried in the United
States Circuit Court for the Southern
District of New York. which. after dis
missing the petition as to foreign to-
bacco companies and some of the sub
ordinate American companies, ad-
judged the others to be parties to an
unlawful conspiracy and enjoined
them from continuing their operations
and from engaging in interstate COM
merce.
The attorney general takes the po-
sition that the findings. sweeping as
they seem to have been. We're not
broad enough, and he asks the SUI
preme Court to extend them so as to
widen their scope as to take in the for
eign companies and some individuals
who were relieved from the operation
VI tne N'luiNl+ hahs othti
oil the judgment are also requested.
1t is asserted that the combination
manufactures all OF the cigarettes for
export and almost three-fourths of the
smoking tobacco and of the cigarettes
for domestic sale. more than three
fourths OF the plug. twist and finecut
tobacco. and almost all OF the snuff
and little cigars that are made.
1t is declared that the defendants
have practiced wicked and unfair
methods. and used their great power
in oppressive ways
Further. II is asserted that they
been actuated by fixed purpose to
destroy competition and to obtain
monopolies. Competitors have grad
ually disappeared. and the combina-
tion. now strongly entrenched. unduly
restricts the business of those in the
trade and prevents others from enter
ing"
Putting aside for the time the effect
OF the Sherman antitrust law. under
which the suit was brought. 1t is con-
tended that the combination under the
name OF the American Tobacco Com
pany. was Illegal when 1t was entered
into In 1890. because 1t was contrary to
the common law. Contending for the
right of Congress to enact antitrust
legislation. II Is asserted that the es'
seniial purpose OF the Sherman law is
to prevent injury. not merely to re-
verse course of conduct.
II is also asserted that "bushwhack-
ing" methods were resorted to In the
use OF union labels. and the method in
this proceeding is denounced as "in-
iquitous" and one such as Is "inhib-
tied by n civilized conscience"
The advertising methods OF the
trust are referred to as n means OF In.
flucncing both business and public
sentiment. and 1t is said that not less
than SO 100000 were expended in this
way in the single year of 1906.
Competition has been persistently
destroyed scores of contracts have re-
tired skilled men from the trade;
many have been forced out; and the
necessary result of the plan long fol
lowed has been to give defendants
power to exclude others and exercise
monopoly"
