Inent today won "A sweeping victory
over the so-called tobacco trust"
when the supreme court of the United

company and Its allied corporations to

BY directing that the combination
be forbidden the privilege OF interstate
commerce or be placed In the hands
of "A receiver unless it disintegrates in

Delivered by White.
The opinion OF the court was de-

also delivered the opinion of the court
In the Standard OH case. The entire
court agreed that the tobacco combi-

from the repeated Interpretation of

call for the application of the rule of

the act. In this respect the division
OF the court was the same as in the
