Says Government Is Confused.

The government is described as still
entertaining ineXact and confused ideas
on the subject of ''monopOlizing,' as
referred to in the Sherman antitrust
law. In the first place, it is said that
the government fails to distinguish by
any clear line of cleavage, or indeed
any line of cleavage at all, between
large businesses on the one hand and
monOpOlieS on the other The brief
concludes with this review of the stu
alton:
I'VE believe we have demonstrated that
the intercorporate relations of these de-
PENDANTS are not such as to bring any of
them within the proper definition of a
holding company OF upon any of them
the condemnation Of having violated the
Sherman law, by the improper elimina-
ton of incentive to engage in interstate
trade. Nothing is left for the govern
ment, logically. but to dispute this whole
conception of the law, and to rely on the
doctrine announced by Circuit Judge La
combe and now repudiated, illogically,
by the government-to wit: That any ac-
QUESTION of the business of an interstate
trader by one heretofore engaged in such
trade, or any formation of a partnership
even between individuals who have been
driving rival express wagons between viii
lagos in two contiguous states, is viola
tive of this statute-thuS construed rev.
olutioRary, indeed, as characterized by
Judge LacOmbe.

the plant was located.
Some years ago there was evidence in
two North Carolina counties that large
amounts of moonshine whisky We're being
sold. The revenue agents hunted higi
and low for the blockader who was max.
ing 1t. They noticed. after many months
of search, that when they were almost or

joining county.
In this way the moonshiner was able to
elude his pursuers for long time. FL
nally, however. he was brought to bay.
1t was found that each of his stills ha6
been enlarged to capacity of 300 gal
Ions day. He was given term in
prison. but as soon as he was released he
went back to his old traits.
Again he was captured and sent to
prison. He spent a fortune in fighting the
imposition of third sentence, and finally
was reduced 10 poverty.
The residents of mountain cabins in the
moonshine districts are always on the
lookout for the ap-
:Neighbors Protect proach of rev
enoOers." r h e y
H"ooASAlAeAS' have systems of
signaling their friends of the approach of
the revenue agents that would give credit
to wiser men. Even the women Of the
families aid in preventing the unheralded
approach OF the revenue agents.
They frequently fight like viragoes when
a pitched battle occurs between the
authorities and the moonshiners. Both
men and women are expert rifle shots,
and it requires courag eous force of gov
eminent officials to make raid against
them. Sometimes a posse is able to take
them by surprise, but it requires the
utmost strategy to do so.
Not all illicit distileries are found in
the mountain regions of the southern
states. Even in the city Of New York
raids are frequently made upon moon
shine plants that have been imprOvised in
dark cellars and ut-of-the-way places.
An old tea kettle, a coil Of copper pipe
and a few simple contrivances serve to
produce moonshne liquor in small guam
titles.
Many registered distilleries violate the
law. The tax per gallon is SO high and
the opportunities for disposal SO many

SPRINGFIELD, H., June 12.-Gov.

as a spur to punishment OF offenders.
