Cases in the Courts.

There are IN process of adjudication
IN the courts less than dozen anti
trust eases that are regarded as of SUI
preme Importance either as TO their
bearing on points in the anti,trust law
yet TO be ruled upon, or as to their
effect upon big combinations. In this
list are the action against the United
States Steel corporation, the Interna-
tIonal Harvester company, the United
Shoe Machinery company, the Motion
Picture Patents company, the Eastman
KODAK company and the Reading Rail
road company and an alleged combina-
tion of wholesale and manufacturing
jewellers, and there are many others in
process of trial or under consideration
which officials do not look upon as Of
prime Importance. No suit is pending
against the New Haven railroad, but
it has been An open secret for several
months that one was In contem plation

with the department.
Of the suits enumerated no authentic

know, these concerns expect to fight to

times in the last few weeks with Mr.,
McReynolds and G. C. Todd, the as.
sistant attorney general in charge of
trust prosecutions, 1t is possible that
these two suits will be settled without
long litigation. Ju every case Mr.. Todd
has made it clear that, to meet the
departments approval, reorganization
plans must conform to the complaint
made by the department If this is
done there is no objection to settling a
