of the Sherman law and its dissolu-
tion Is sought.

, Issue injunctions to bar from inter-
state commerce the products of the
International Harvester company or
the International Harvester Company
OF America. its selling agency. The
, appointment of receivers to take
charge OF property and windup the
business is suggested.
The filing of the suit comes as the
climax Of five years of investigation
by the government. Lately the case
has figured prominently in political
discussion between President Taft and
Col. Roosevelt regarding certain in
structions which Mr.. Roosevelt while
president in 1907 gave to his attorney
general. Charles J. Bonaparte, con-
cerning the prosecution of the con-
Germ. That feature Of the case was
recently before the senate.
1t Is alleged that the company has
advanced the prices Of harvesting ma
chinery Ito the grave injury Of the
farmer and the general public" and Is
extending its business into all lines Of
agricultural implements with the pur-
pose Of monopolistic control.
The government alleges that the In
ternatonal Harvester company con-
trolls at least 90 per cent Of the trade
In the United States in harvesters
or grain binders, rs per cent Of the
mowers and more than, so per cent
Of the binder twine.
The petition says: 1.-The opportuni-
ties for any new competitors are con-
stantly being closed by the defendants
In all lines Of agricultural implements;
the agencies for distribution. the re-
tail implement dealers and others are
rapidly coming under their undis-
puted control"
The bill contains these charges:

credit of competitors for the purpose
Of destructive competition. have re-
duced prices on their machines in
some localities below cost Of produc-
tion and distribution while keeping
