Rar Reaching Decision Against
Burley Tobacco Society.

Ia an opinion handed down BY
Judge Howard HolIister. <of tie
United States District Court for the
Southern district OF Ohio. he declar,
ed that contracts entered into BY
the Burley Tobacco Society with the
pufcharers Of the pooled Burnley to-
bacco we're in violation Of the Sner-
man anti trust law in that part which
concerns interstate commerce.
The opinion came after an argu
ment in the suit of the E.O. Esheiby
Tobacco Company, of Cincinnati,
against the Burley Tobacco Society
for damages alleged to have been
sustained in the pooling and selling
of the 1907 crop of Burley tobacco
at Winchester. KY. r
While number Of witnesses are
to be examined. yet it was admitted
by both sides that the opinion set
ties the suit in favor Of the plaintiff
and that the only matter to follow
will be the amount Of damages 10
be awarded. This viii be determine
ed by the jury. which is expected to
receive the case Friday.
In his opinion Judge HOLSTER
ruled that the tobacco pooled by
uhe Burley Tobacco Soejety was in
tended necessarily for use in inter
state commerce, had always been 50
intended and subsequently, was used
IN interstats commerce, that the
Barley Society fixed a price on this
tobacco and refused to accept any
price other than the one fixed and
that this act rs considered by him to
be in violation Of that portion Of
TIE Sherman antitrust law which
concerns interstate commerce.
