Government Open Antitrust Case
In Minneapolis Federal
Court Tomorrow
COULD NOT AGREE ON PLAN
Corporations Refused to Separate
Deering and Mccormick Cos.
Alleged Trust Controls Bulk Of Har-
vester Business is Govern
rnent Claim.

Washington, April "a civil anti
trust suit seeking the dissolution Of
the International Harvester Co. under
neapolis tomorrow. This is the cul-
mination OF an investigation extending
over five years.
During the past few months Attor-
ney General Wickersham and counsel
for the corporation have made efforts
to agree on a plan Of dlsintegration.
which would meet the ends Of the law.
Their endeayors have been futile and
the problem Will be fought out in the
courts. One serious obstacle was the
refusal OF the Harvester company to
separate the Mccormick and Deering
harvesting machine companies. which
are subsidiaries. in any plan of disso-
luton.
The government maintains that the
trust as whole controls from
eighty-five to ninety per cent of tne
harvester business of the country. and
its two principal ubsidiaries-McCor-
mick and Deering-represent sixty to
sixty-flve per cent of the business.
The harvester company is spread
ing into many lines of farming equip
ment, In addition to harvesters. such
as farm wagons, motor trucks and
cream separators. and the department
of justice officials maintain that as
other concerns possess far less than
tfty per cent OF the business, p0ssfblIs-
ties will be opened for a monopoly OF
many farm implements and materials
in addition tC harvesters.
one important contention of the
government had been that the Interna-
tional Harvester Co. of America, a
selling agent for the combination. be
dissolved. An agreement on this prop
Osition probably would have been
reached. The International Harves-
ter Co. is one hundred and forty
million dollar corporation. composed Of
six subsidiaries.
