SENATOR LA TOILETTE.

l was not in the court throughout the
entire delivery of the opinion of the Chief
Justice, and I have not had an oppor-
tunity to read the opinion. but | was in
the courtroom while Justice Harlan de-
livered his dissent to the course pursued
by the Chief Justice in reaching the con-
cl:sion upon which the court ordered the
dissolution of the Standard OIL Company.
| must conclude that Justice Harlan, with
his long experience and great legal abil-
ity, has fairly construed the position
taken by the court. 1t cannot be possible
that he has erred in asserting that the
court has by judicial construction written
into the Sherman antitrust law language
which the great combinations and trusts
have been endeavoring to persuade Con-
gress to add to it by way of legislative
amendment.
If Justice Harlan is correct, and the
opinion of the Chief Justice is open to
the criticism which he makes. / must say
that / am completely with him. 1t has
been my opinion that the law prohibited
mbinations in restraint OF trade, and 1t
is taking a dangerous step II the law is
to be construed as prohibiting restraint
Of trade by combinations and trusts only
when it is unreasonable restraint. 1T
leaves the question open for judicial con-
struction in each instance as to what
constitutes unreasonable restraint.

Violations Of Law Charged
Against the Standard
Oil Company

The chief violations Of ,aw chars-
ed against the Standard Oil Com
pany. which caused the dissolution
decision. were:
Contracts with competitors in re-
straint of trade.
Restraint and monopolization by
control of pipe lines and unfair
practices against competing pipe
Lines.
Unfair methods Of competition.
such as local price cutting at points
where necessary to suppress COM
,eution.
BY oppressive methods it secured
processes for refining oil and OBJ
tanning control of all newly discov-
cred fields.
II caused reba ties, preferences anu
other discriminatory practices In
favor pf IL by combination with
railroad companies.
Espionage c. the business Of COM
petitors the operation OF bogus in
dIpenden. companies and payment
Of rebates on oil with the like in
tent.
1t obtained and acquired a major
it's Of the stocks of the various COR
porations engaged in purchasing,
transporting. refining, shipping and
selling Gil amcn., the various states
and territories and with foreign
countries.
The division of the United States
into districts and limiting the OPP
erations Of the various subsidiary
corporations as to sucn districts so
that competition in the sale of pc
trOleum products between such cor
porations has been entirely elimi-
mated and DESTROYED.

SENATOR CULBERSON.

1t ought to be extremely gratifying to
all opponents Of monopoly that the United
States Supreme Court affirmed the decree
of dissolution against the Standard Oil
Company. While this is true. and while
the conclusion in the particular case is
correct, yet, in my judgment. the opinion
Of the court. delivered by Chief Justice
White. is an important one for the coun-
try. This opinion OverruleS the decisions
of the Supreme Court in the traffic as
ISOLATION cases, as we'll as the many SIM
liar cases where the antitrust act was
construed as prohibiting all restraints of
interstate trade and all monopolies Of
such trade, no matter of what character
The former construction Of the act by
the Supreme Court had been accepted
and acted upon for years. and Congress,
though often urged to do so. refused to
amend the act to accord with the view
taken by the court. This construction,
moreover, was approved by the country,
except the extreme corporate interests
The opinion OF the majority today as to
the construction of the act is pure Judi
cial legislation. for which the trusts have
been contending for fifteen years, and
which will be used by them to further
their combinations and conspiracies
against trade. Hereafter. the question
will always be confused with the supposed
intent of the conspirators, rather than
confined to the single issue of the actual
existence Of combination or monopoly
The classification of good trusts and
bad trusts has at last received the high
est judicial sanction.
Against this / agree absolutely and
thoroughly with the dissenting opinion of
Mr.. Justice Harlan, and If the opinion
Of the Chief Justice is adhered to I'm this
and in the tobacco case. as l presume it
will be, the law should be amended at
once so as to express beyond judicial in
depreciation that view of the law which
has heretofore obtained, and which has
met the approval and requirements of the
country.

SENATOR BAILEY.

No man can speak with any confidence
regarding court opinion until he has
carefully read 1t, but from the statement
made by the Chief Justice from the bench
in announcing the decision OF the court
it seems he has construed the statute as
it is and ought to be. and under his con-
struction no man or set OF men can Or
ganize or conduct monopoly, ana yet
every man can conduct legitimate and
lawful business without interference.

New Jersey corporation from exercising
any control by virtue of it's stock owner
ship over the subsidiary corporations, and
enjoined those corporations from recog-
nizing the authority or power of the New
Jersey corporation in any manner by vir-
tue of such stock ownership; CD by the
sixth section enjOined the subsidiary cor
porations after the dissolution from doing
any act which could create a like illegal
combination formed in the manner specf-
fled in the decree: a. enjoined the New
Jersey corporation and all the subsidiary
corporations from doing any business In
interstate commerce pending the diSsoiu-
ton of the combination by the accom-
plishment of the transfers of stock which
the decree in it's essence required. and
90 gave thirty days for the carrying out
of the directions of the decree
Reviewing this Decree it is held that
it was right in adjudging the violations
Of the act and enjoining the continuance
of the combination, in directing its DIS
solution by the transfers of stock. etc.
and in forbidding the exercise by the
New Jersey corporation of further con-
troll and the further recognition of such
control by the subsidiary corporations.
That in so far as the complaints against
the sixth section were made to the effect
that IT subjects the individual stockhold-
ers and the subsidiary corporations after
the dissolution to an unwarranted au-
thority, 1t is held to be unfounded be-
cause the section is construed as not
having the broad meaning which the
complaints attribute to it, since it does
not after the dissolution deprive the
stockholders or corporations of their
right to make normal lawful contracts.
but only operates to restrain them from
making in the future illegal contracts or
agreements like those which are now an
nulled. 1t is held that in view of the
public interest that portion Of the decree
which forbade the CARRYING on of any
interstate commerce pending the time "a
lowed for the dissolution was incorrect
and that the delay of thirty days which
the decree below allowed was too short
and should be at least six months. In
other words except for these minor mod
ifications the decree below is in all re-

An-Sides Views Expressed
on Standard Oil Decision

to the contrary on a majority opinion.
Justice Harlan emphasized the fact that
several times since the tranSmissOuri de-
cision the effort has been made to amend
the statute Cor the express purpose of
limiting it's restrictions to combinations
that .'unreasonably' restrain trade. and
the law-making power consistently has
refused to make this amendment. A clear
statement of precisely what the decision
means cannot be made by any man who
has not given the opinion that study and
close attention that ii deserves.

The dissolution of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, the trust is
now inevitable. The government Won
complete victory. Every material issue
for which we contended was decided in
our favor. Justice Harlan's dissent was
not to the decree. but to the language Of
the opinion.

The opinion was based on a particular
case and It is not safe to generalize or to
apply 1t to other cases.
The language OF the opinion protects
property and is not confiscatory, and this,

department, has been advised that an
order has just been promulgated that
spells doom for all ramshackle or fire.
trap buildings In this city. Inasmuch
as this order will eventually apply to
all other cities and towns in the state,
the order is of vital interest not only
to property owners in business dis
tricts but to the residents Of city or
town in general State Fire Marshal
Roe informs Mr.. Harrington that a
systematic crusade is to be made
against all frame buildings that pre-
JUDGE adjoining property in any way
The order states that all ramshackle
buildings located close to or between
large business places will be destroy
ed at once. 1t is stated that the posi-
ton of the fire marshal is that the way
to prevent fires is to get rid of the
places where they start the easiest
and that In removing buildings OF this
kind long step will have been taken
in reducing the frequency OF fires in
business districts OF Iowa's municipal
tiles.
