HISTORY or COMBINE
ORDERED TO DISSOLVE

The American tobacco corporations
were made the target OF the SECOND
big trust prosecution OF recent
wears. The first was the Standard
Oil Because the testimony taken IN
the tobacco case was not SO extensive
MS that in the Standard OIL, the two
eases were before the supreme court
for consideration at the same time
The attempt of the government to
dissolve the tobacco corporation as
violating the Sherman antitrust law
took shape in 1907. In that year
petition was filed in the United states
circuit court at New York The gov
eminent asked that the American to-
bacco company. It's officers, directors
and affiliated corporations be pre-
vented and cnjoined from restraining
and monopolizing commerce in to-
hacco.
The restraints and the monoplies
alleged by the government were SAID
to have been obtained by an Intricate
system of corporate organization. II
began in 1890, when the first Ameri-
can Tobacco company was organized.
The now company took over the busi-
ness of five independent cigarette
concerns.
In 1898 the Continental Tobacco
company was incorporated TO take
over the plug tobacco business of the
American Tobacco company and that
of five independent plug manufacture
ers.
In 1900 the American Snulf com
pany was incorporated to take over
the snuff business of the American
Tobacco company. of the Continental
Tobacco company and OF two other
Independent manufacturers
In 1901 the American Cigar com
pany was incorporated to take over
the business of the American Tobacco
company and other manufacturers
and sellers OF cigars. cheroots and sto-
gies
In the same year the Consolidated
Tobacco company was incorporated to
take over in exchange for its bonds
substantially all of the stock of the
American Tobacco company and the
Continental Tobacco company.
In 1908 the American Stogie COM
pany was incorporated to take over
the stogie business of the American
Cigar company, the American Tobac-
co company and the Continental To-
hacco company.
In 1904 the American Tobacco COM
pany, the Continental Tobacco COM
pany and the Consolidated Tobacco
company merged into the present
American Tobacco company.
The government claimed that all
these organizations were created with
the definite purpose to destroy compe-
tition and that they accomplished that
purpose. Each step WAS attacked as
a part of an unlawful plan. whose de-
vclopment and progress was advane-
ed. II was charged, by duress, OPP
preston and unfair methods intended
to drive ont and keep out competitors
and secure monopolies.
The defendants claimed that moth

DECISION SWEEPING
VICTORY FOR GOVERNMENT
INV hl.. nm. JvurlsaI special LeiseA Wirol


Washington. May 29.-The govern
ment today won a sweeping victory
over the so-callcd tobacco trust,
when the supreme court of the United
States held the American Tobacco
company and its allied corporations to
be operating in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
BY directing that the combination
be forbidden the privilege of interstats
commerce or be placed in the hands
of receiver unless It disintegrates in
harmony with the law within six of a,
the most eight months. the court i
regarded to have dealt with the to-
bacco corporations more drasticaliy
than with the Standard Oil COMPANY
of New Jersey, the dissolution OF
which was ordered two weeks ago.
Both the first and second sections pt
The sherman anti-trust law have
been Violated by the so-callcd tobac-
co trust according to the court. Not
only has il restrained Wrongfully ana
unlawfully interstate commerce in tde
eyes of the court, but 1t has attempt
ed to monopo,i2e the tobacco business
to the injury of the public and OF its
competitors.
While the decree was regarded as
unusually severe, at the same .ime
there was u touch of leniency In not
making the commission an outlaw
now.
The various elements Of the combi-
nation are to be given an opportunity
under the supervision of the United
States circuit court for the southern
district of New York, of recreation
so that there may be brought about
"a new condition which shall be hon
estly in harmony with and not repus-
nant to the law
The opinion of the court was a.
livered by Chief Justice White VINO
also delivered the opinion of the court
in the standard Oil case. The entire
court agreed that the tobacco conlDi-
nation violated the Sherman anti
trust law, but Justice Harlan dissent

the Sherman antitrust law so as to
call Tor the application of the "rulc
Of reason in determining what re-
straints of trade were forbidden by
the act. In this respect the division
of the court was the same as In the
Standard oil ease.
Justice liarian also took issue win

sanitation Of the tobacco COMPANY
saying that he had found nothing IN
the record which made him 1t All
