FAVOR HARVESTER TRUST
Witnesses Dispute Figures OF
Machinery Values.
TELL: OF FALLING PRICES
Testimony to Show Interna-
tional Co. Used No Coercion
to Gut Out Rivals.

Omaha, March 6. 49, TWO farmers were
called TO testify to-day for the defence IN
the suit of the government against the
International Harvester Company charged
with violating the Sherman ANTITRUST
law by illegal restraint OF trade.
The government has contended that
harvesting implements composed hair VI
the machinery required by farmer. Inc
TWO witnesses both well-to-do, gave fig
urcs 10 show that harvesting machinery
represented only three-tenths of the
value OF their farm machinery. George
Swanson. OF Crawford, testified he owned
seven thousand acres Of land, with eight
hundred acres under cultivation. lie
valued his farm implements at $3.50, OF
which amount harvesting implements rep
resented $3.50.
syanson's testimony also brought out
something about the high cost OF living.
He said he had been receiving for the
last two years about double the price OF
ten years ago for what he sold. whiie
prices for what he bought, including ma
chinery. had advanced insignIficantly and
in many instances had declined.
". ID. Howell, who farms five hundred
acres in Thomas County. gave fiSurcs
showing similar proportions.
Hugh McCarSer caused stir when ne
declared lie vas opposed TO the trust
TO tell the truth he testified. Il tired
10 beat the trust and stuck 10 the inoe-
pendent lines as long as any we're left. L
sold the Buckeye binder as long as II was
in the market. and II l could get 1t now
would be going yet.
Then YOU became converted to tho IN
ternational line because you could no
longer buy independent lines?" asked Mr..
Grosvenor, for the government.
That's it," he replied.
Other makes OF binders were coming
into the market. A. J. Dyer, OF Exeter,
Neb., testified fifteen OF one make being
sold in his city last year.
Other witnesses agreed that no coercion
was used by the International Harvester
Company 10 force them 10 carry the line
Of that company exclusively, but all
agreed that the defendants controlled 30
per cent Of the business
