STANDARD OIL
TO LOSE CASE
Prediction Of Samuel Inter
meyer in Suits Pending.
peciar bv United Prsss Wire.

Special bv United Press Wtre.
New York, Jan. 12:-That the Stu
preme Court of the United States viii
declare the Standard Oil Company and
the American Tobacco Company monop-
,olies in restraint of trade is the opin-
ion Of Samuel Untermeyer, identified
with more antitrust litigation than any
other American lawyer. Addressing the
Civic Federation today Untermeyer in
sisted that the trend of the decisions
of the Supreme Court for the past five
years indicated that they mnst arm the
mandates of the lower courts. But IN
doing so, he commended, the Supreme
Court will "give no relief from the
dangers that now threaten the
American people The two trusts, and
all like them, he said, will merely re-
organize as their properties and bust
ness. are still in existence and the con-
stitution of the United States forbids
confiscation.
The entire blame for this state of af-
fairs, according to Untermeyer, is due
to the attitude Of the courts toward the
Sherman Antitrust law for the ten
years following its passage. The courts
and the Federal government itself, he
insisted, tacitly consented to the most
vicious of the trusts and to extermi-
nate them now, he alleged, would de-
stroy public confidence and bring about
financial and industrial chaos. Inter
meyer insisted that the Government has
been after the ~ftlittle fellows" in the
game and ignoring the big ones and in
this connection he bitterly assailed the
railroad pool.
every recently the Government
found it necessary to enjoin the Rail
road Association from carrying out a
conspiracy to increase rates. he said.
'sThe Governments proofs were so
convincing that the railroads quit.
Why were they not crimis ally prose
The same proof which gave the
would have resulted in in
iictments.'
Coal, iron and steel corporations
lose plants at viii and manipulate
and demand, he said. All pres
mt criminal prosecutions of alleged
rust officials, he said sfis q mon
sham" He insisted that it
ends to Sling the administration of
nstice intor contempt Unterneyer
the phrase that Hgilt is
.'ersonai'a rs an .insincere catch
rap
Rigid regulation of all corporations
lnder Federal law is the only solution
# the problem according to Untermey-
n. He believes that it is not neces-
airy to insist on compulsory federal IL
ense but said that if the combina-
ions were permitted incorporation
'nder a Federal Law all of them would
AXE advantage of the opportunity and
immediately all of the evils complained
Of would cease.

tanning the horsepower of motor We
hicles by multiplying the square of

and dividing the result by two and a
half.
Mr.. Edge also offered a measure

thorfzed municipalities to enact or

ment had been made with any 9TH
er company to fix rates. These
