mining what restraints of trade were
prohibited.
From Beginning Of Action.
Chief Justice White, in his opinion,
first reviewed the preliminary pro-
ceedings in the case in the circuit
court of the United States for the
Eastern District Of Missouri. He re-
stated the essential points in the bill
Of the government asking for the dis
solution of the Standard Oil company.
He dismissed the objection to the jur-
isdiction of this court in a few words,
by holding that it was not we'll found
ed. He then came to the arguments,
saying that out Of the Jungle" Of law
and facts, both sides were agreed only
in one thing, and that was that the
determination Of the controversy res

application of the first and second
sections of the. antitrust acts. The
views Of the two sides as to the law,
the chief justice said, we're as wide
apart as the poles. The same, he said,
was true as to the facts.

In this state Of affairs the chief JUS

namely. the application of the two Sec
tions of the Sherman anti trust law.
as the initial basis Of an exa.nination
Of the contention. The rest OF his
opinion divided itself into a considara-
ton of the meaning of the Sherman
antitrust law in the light Of the COM
mon law and the law of the United
States at the time of its adoption, the
contentious of the parties concerning
the act and the scope and effect of the
decisions of the supreme court, the ap-
plication Of the statute to the facts
and lastly the remedy.
In striving to get at the meaning OF
the two sections Of the law, he said
the sole subject with which the first
section dealt was RESTRAINT of trade"
and that the "attempt to monopolize
and monopolization of action" was
the subject of the second section. Inc
chief Justice said the meaning of these
words would guide his opinion by the
manner in which the words were en-
ployed
History of the Case.
The suit which called forth today's
decision was Instituted in 1906 in the
United States circuit court for the
Eastern District of Missouri. 1t was
brought in the name of the United
States. The immediate object was to
dissolve the Standard Oil company, of
New Jersey.
From the very beginning the busi-
ness and the legal worlds recognized
that the suit put the Sherman anti
trust law to the most severe test to
which it had been subjected. The law
had ben on the statue book since 1890
and had been the basis of some IS
suits finally passed upon by the su-
preme court Of the United States.
That the law was constitutional was
accepted as settled by these decisions,
but simple as the words Of the statute
seemed, there was an absence Of un-
animity in regard to its Interpretation.
With that situation confronting the
government and the defendants, the
suit was begun with the general belief
that the entire business world would
feel the effect of the outcome Of the
gigantic struggle.
Governments Charges.
The government claimed that two
sections of the Sherman antitrust law
had been violated. The first section
reads as follows:

form Of trust or otherwise, or con-

Blind Workers Show Progress

according to the semi-annual report
OF the Delaware Commission .or the

In the Industrial Exchange" on West
Eighth street, in addition to the
library, workrooms and other depart
ments. there are rooms for six blind
workers, who have no homes else
where. beside the staff Of the Com
mission. Continuing, the report says:
"The Industrial Exchange has
shown a marked Improvement in bust
ness in their new store and the de-
mand for rugs woyen by the blind has
taken a great impetus; 325 chairs
have been feseated through the eX-
change during. the past six months,
besides many more by the workers
through the state.
"Salesmanship has been encouraged
and three men have been started in
selling mops, brooms and tea and cof-
fee. A twelve-foot carpet loom has
been installed, which weaves rugs OF
any width mp TO that dimension, SUI
