which will impair rather than enhance
freedom of interstate commerce. As we
read those decisions, restraint of inter
state trade and restraint of competition
in interstate trade are not interchangeable
expressions.
There may be. under the antitrust act
restraint of competition that does not
amount to restraint of interstate trade.
just as before the passage of the act there
might have been restraint of competition
that did not amount to a common law re-
straint of trade"
The court then comes to this conclusion
1T matters not whether the combina-
ton be in the form of a trade association
or q corporation. If it arbitrarily uses its
power to force weaker competitors out of
business or to coerce them into sale or
union with combination, 1T puts a re-
straint upon interstate commerce and
monopoliZes or attempts to monopolize a
part of that commerce in a sense that vio-
lates the antitrust act

ton Immediately might be attended with
very disastrous consequences. The de-

HITS POWDER TRUST
Du Point Company Illegal Com
binaton, Says Court.
VIOLATES ANTITRUST LAW
Interlocutory Decree Fixes October
16 as Date for Hearing Dis
solution Proceedings.
VIOLATES ANTITRUST LAW

WILMINGTON. Del. June 22.-The
United States circuit court for the dis
trict of Delaware yesterday handed down
a decision declaring that the alleged
powder trust which is dominated by the
E. l. du Point de Nemours Company, is
a combination in restraint Of interstate
commerce in powder and other explo-
sives, in violation of section l OF the
Sherman antitrust law; that it attempt
ed to monopolize and has monopolzed a
part Of such commerce in violation Of
section OF the same law, and decreeing
that the combination shall be enjoined
from continuing this violation, and that
il shall be dissolved.
The action against the powder trust
was begun by the government in 1907,
and was directed against forty-three cor
porate and individual defendants. The
suit as to fifteen OF the defendants was
dismissed because some of the concerns
are out of existence, or 1t was not shown
that they were parties TO the combna-
ton.
The court in an interlocutory decree
fxei October Is "a the date to hear both
sides in the action as to the nature or
the injunction TO be granted. and consider
a plan for dissolving said combination,
which shall be submitted by the petition
or and the defendants or any Of them, to
the end that this court may ascertain
and determine upon plan or method Tor
such dissolution which will not deprive
the defendants of the opportunity to re-
create out of the elements now compos-
ing said combination a new condition
which shall be honestly In harmony with
and not repugnant to the law.
Follows Other Trust DEGREES.
This follows to some extent the DEGREES
issued by the United States Supreme
Court In the Standard Oil and Tobacco
cases.
The only member of the du Pont family
mentioned in the suit who is not in
cluded among those found to be violating
the law IS Henry A. du Pont. United
States senator from Delaware. The court
found that in June, 1908, year before
the suit was begun. he resigned all his
official positions in the defendant cor
porations and that since that time ne
has had neither real nor nominal con-
nection with the management or any OF
the defendant corporations.
The court summarizes the numerous
companies controlled by the du Pont
company organized in 1902 and the du
Pont Company organized IN 1903 and then
discusses whether the combination II found
to exist was obnoxious TO the provisions
OF the antitrust act
The court says: AS enacted 1t the
Sherman antitrust law does not con-
denim every combination TO prevent COM
petition What 1t condemns is every
combination in restraint Of trade or COM
merce among the several states" ETC.
Freedom Of Interstate Commerce.
THE recent decisions OF the Supreme
Court in Standard Oil Company VS.. United
States. and American Tobacco Company
