Washington, D. c., May 20.-The

combination in unreasonable restraint
Of trade.
Ofiicials Of the department Of Jus.
tice have been studying the decision
Of the Supreme court In the Standard
Oil case with Q view to its effect upon
the International Harvester and other
prosecutions which Attorney General

to investigate this combination. His
work has been comprehensive and
thorough. He has had access to the
books Of the corporation, and its ON
cials have been extremely obliging
The department has not used the data
obtained by Mr.. Smiths agents, but
has had its own men in the field.
The International Harvester com
pany has strenuously denied that II
has any Of the evil features which
have predominated in such organiza
tions a. the Standard OIL. Il claims
that in it, policy 1t has been actuated
by sound business principles and thai
It has done nothing which could b<
construed % q violation Of the law.
The Information It gave to the com
missioner Of corporations, however
will not be used In its prosecution
The information upon which the de
partment Of Justice has considered &C
tion has been secured independent,
and the government consequently Il
relieved from any liability 40 to III
use or the manner In which II shall
be used.
The International Harvester com
pany 10 one Of the great combination,
Of American capital. Not only does 1

plants in Canada. and 1t has q tire
mendous foreign trade. In its ram
ifications It resembles the Standar,
