HARVESTER TRUST SUIT
BRINGS OUT CONTRACTS
Defendant Alleged to Have 0p.
Grated Own Company as
Independent Concern.

CHICAGO, September 1S-COntracts and
other documents by which the Interna-
tional Harvester Company is alleged to
have formed and carried on a trust were
introduced by the government today in it's
antitrust suit against that corporation.
One of the eleven contracts showed
that in the purchase of D. NJ. Osborne
& Co.. with a plant at Auburn, N. Y,
George w. Perkins had signed for the
Harvester Company.
In this instance the government
charged for two years the defendant
concealed and denied its association with
the Osborne Company, and operated the
latter as an Independent company. This
was in pursuance of the defendant &
policy by denying ownership. to use con-
trolled companies to break down COM
petition and secure for themselves the
benefit of public sentiment against COM
binations."
In connection with the other contracts
the governments contentious were sim
liar.
Says Perkins Signed Contract.
Edwin P. Grosvenor. special assistant
attorney general, in introducing exhibits,
said:
"The Osborne Company was the largest
independent manufacturer of harvesting
implements in the United States in 1902
after the formation of the trust.
1.-The Harvester Company, through Mr..
Perkins acquired control in January,
1905 This contract is signed by Mr.. Per-
lsins as chairman Of the finance commit
tee of the International Harvester Com
pany. The consideration was $4,60OO 600.
The government charges that the Os-
borne company for several years there
pendent and widely advertised itself
as the largest Independent company in
the country. and Independent of any
trust.
Mr.. Grosvenor also introduced contracts
alleging the acquisition by the Harvester
Company of the keystone Company.

Company. Akron, Ohio, and the Minnie
