volved eighty or more defendants
Eight out of twelve defendants were
convicted on one indictment after trial
by jury and their conviction confirmed
by the court of appeals, and thirteen
criminal prosecutions are pending
A brief review of the cases brought
under the antitrust law during the ad
ministration demonstrates clearly its
value to the American people in their
protection Of that equality of opportu-
nifty which is declared by the platform
of the Republican party to be the right
of every citizen.
Reference to a few of the antitrust
cases brought by the Taft administra-
ton gives an excellent idea OF the hard
ships some Of these illegal combina
tions entail upon consumers. In the
prosecution of case against number
of individuals who attempted TO corner
all the free cotton remaining of the
crop of 1903 1t resulted in raise in
the price Of that commodity to the
spinners. prevented some from making
any purchases and was therefore re-
StTdluluB lDleTSLdle COluLueTCe.
In like manner the government took
cognizance Of the pooling in the wire
industry, with the result that nine in
dictments were found In New York
against eighty-thIee persons engaged
in that business. 1t was an illegal re-
straint OF trade. and when the court
proceedings had been finished the va
rious defendants were fined in amounts
averaging $1,000 each, with the excep-
ton OF the supervisor Of the pool, who
was fined $4,000.
One OF the most outrageous cases of
combination in restraint OF trade and
a notable violation OF the Sherman law
! was that Of the hand blown window
glass industry. Practically all Of the
manufacturers (eighty-three in mum.
berl formed company which control
led the entire output OF hand blown
glass. AS a result the price was ad-
vanced 100 per cent within less than u
year. The indictment of the men re-
| sponsible. the imposition of fines and
the restoration of the business upon its
former lines were followed by a sub
stantial reduction in the price Of hand
blown glass.
