UphOlds Lower Courts Or

HELD TO BE COMBINE
IN RESTRAINT OF TRADE
Jury in Detroit Disagreed in
Criminal Action Against
Defendants

| WASHINGTON. u. C., Nov. 49,
The supreme court OF the United
States today upheld the decree OF dis.
solution against the Standard SAM
tary Manufacturing company and al
! lied concerns. known as the Bath
tub trust" decided by the federal
court OF Maryland. The trust had
Ibeen ordered dissolved as a combIna-
/ lion in restraint of trade despite its
contention that the decree was an in.
vasion OF It's patent rights.
The decision Is regarded by govern.
ment trust busters as one OF the
most important since the Standard
! Oil decree. In the so.called patent
monopoly" decision last year, the
court held that the owner OF patent
might dictate the terms under which
the patented article could be sold. II
had been feared that the court might
apply this reasoning to the Sherman
law and prevent the government from
attacking any OF the trusts which con
ltrolled big patents. The decision

such view The entire case hinged
lon the right of the owner of a patent.
ed article OF make such use OF IL as
10 create a monopoly in the manufac-
lture and sale OF another unpatented
article
\ II was on Nov. q. 1911. that the
Maryland federal court sustained the
governments contention that the
Standard Sanitary company, and IL
other allied concerns and number
OF individuals we're guilty of monopoly
in restraint of trade The deIendantS
appealed on the ground that their
patent rights were invaded by the dis
solution decree.
In affirming the decree OF the lower
Icourt that the trusts manufacturers
and jobbers license agreements, by
(which IL fixed uniform prices and
mode OF sale OF enameled ware ar
lticles, were unlawful, the supreme
lcourt declared that the defendants
Ownership OF the patent on tool,
did not Justify them in conducting a
monopoly In trade. Whether the
Ipatented tool figured in the case or
not, the court held. they were violat-
ing the antitrust law.
Although this was the nth decision
day OF the fall term of the supreme
court. the court handed down no opin,
lions in the anthracite trust" or rail
road rate cases. The court this at.
Iternoon recessed until Dec. ?.
The governments criminal suit
against the members OF the so-called
Dathtuo trust was tried in Detroit
last summer After a prolonged se5-

was entirely separate from the pro
