CIRCUIT COURT
Overrules Demurrers Entered by AT
iantic Conference" in Dissolution Suit.

New York, Dec 20-The full bench
of the United States circuit court, to-
day, overruled the demurrers entered
by the Hamburg American Steamship
Co. and other trans Atlantic lines
which form the Atlantic conference
against the governments suit for their
dissolution. The governments con-
tentlon is that by reason of an alleged
pooling agreement in passenger rates
the Conference" is q trust in restraint
of trade and the companies should
be enjoined from further execution of
the agreement.
The demurrers alleged want of
equity in the governments petition
and followed closely the petitions in
the tobacco and Standard Oil cases
sustained by the United States SUI
preme court in the Light of reason"
and under THE rule of reason"
Judge Moves. who read the opinion
of the full court, said that the trans
portation of passengers between the
United States and Europe forms part
of the commerce of the United States
with foreign nations and that Con-
gress has the power to prohibit all
contracts, combinations and con-
spiracies in restraint of the foreign
commerce of the country. He said
that the agreement between the COM
panies affects foreign commerce be-
cause its operation must divert part
thereof from the natural channels of
free competition into fixed channels
assigned to the parties to the agree
ment THE different lines the judge
held, obtain not that which would
come to them from their separate eff
forts. but prescribed and certain per-
centages of the traffic"
Judge Moves said the, contention
that the combination was formed in
a foreign country was immaterial be-
merce of this country and was to be
put in operation here.
Citizens of foreign countries" he
continued, are not free to restrain or
monopolize the foreign commerce of
this country b. entering into com
binations abroad nor by employing
foreign vessels to effect their purpose.
Such combinations are to be tested
by the same standard as similar
standards as similar combinations en-
tered into by citizens Of this coun-
try" Judge Noyes declared that the
averTnent by the government made
out a combination and conspiracy in
violation of the antitrust law.
The bench then announced that the
demurrer was overruled and cited the
defendants to answer the govern
ment's complaint in February.
