was further held that contracts limit

nance the price in every market in the
country"
WOULD YIELD $to,o0o,ooo.
Pstten, Eugene G. Scales, Frank 3.
Hayne and William P. Brown were in
dicted in New York On charges of
conspiring on January l, 1910, to cor
ner' cotton by extensive buying on
the New York cotton exchange as a
result of which the price would be en-
danced and ultimately bring arbitrary
and excessive prices. The conspiracy
was described as calculated to yield
sic, oo0, 900 in profits.
The alleged violation Of the Sher-
man law was set forth in the indict-
ment in eight different ways in as
many counts, the defendants being
liable for trial on any one. Before the
defendants could be placed on trial,
the United States circuit court for
southern New York held insufficient
four counts as not stating an offense.
The government appealed from that
decision to the supreme court
Because of similarity in the four
counts held insufficient, the contro-
versy in the supreme court narrowed
down to the validity Of the third and
seventh counts.
The third count had been attacked
successfully as insufficient because it
merely stated an alleged conspiracy to
buy cotton, and omitted to charge
agreements to withhold cotton or to
sell in any particular manner. The
lower court said the defendants were
not charged with power to control
the market. The seventh count was
the one specifically charging the de-
PENDANTS with running a corner on
cotton futures. The lower court held
that such a corner did not produce
effects direct enough on interstate
commerce to bring 1t within the Sher-
man antitrust law.
INTERPRETED THE STATUTE.
Justice Vandeventer, in announc cling
the opinion, said the supreme court at
this time, under the law, was not au-
thorfzed to review the lower court s
construction or Interpretation indict-
ment as such, but only the lower
courts Interpretation of the statute.
Therefore, he added, the court passed
by those points raised by the govern
ment-
The justice said that the government
had conceded in arguing the case that
in order to effect a corner there must
be a withholding" from sale of the
cotton bought. Therefore, he said,
the controversy turned upon which
the indictment charged withhold
ing" As TO that point the decision of
the lower court could not be reviewed
at this time, the justice added. although
the point might be reviewed II the
case were proceeded with. At present
the decision of the lower court on this
point must be accepted as correct. he
said. He then passed to the holding
of the lower court that running cor
Eer' was not a violation of the law,
because the restraint was too indirect
and not voluntary.
1--WE hold that the restraint need not
be voluntary, but in the light Of the
Standard Oil case, may be involun-
tary."

the present duty on the finished gela-
tin product would be fair in the pro-
posed tariff
T. E. Schoelkopf, of Buffalo, said the
proposed reduction of duty on coal tar
dyes or colors, of which about $1,000
Quo worth annually are brought in, from
so to Is 1-2 per cent would operate
unjustly to the American manufac-
turers.
Chairman Underwood drew from
him that he regarded his total labor
cost as 20 per cent OF tie cost OF the
finished product and that if the coal
tar dyes or colors came in free he
still would have TO pay virtually a 10
Per cent duty because OF the freight
charges, etc, from the customs house.
This is trust controlled product %
Yes. so far as the patents are con-
eerned"
The witness said that while a num-
Der Of patents on coal tar colors and
dyes were expiring. there were many
yet controlled by patents held by two
big manufacturing companies.
Then suggested Representative
Hill, the effect of the proposed reduc-
ton would be to give absolute control
of these products in this country by
trust syndieates. to the detriment of
American enterprise"
That's well known" replied Mr..
Schoelkopf. He appealed to the COM
mittee to let the present rate of so
per cent ad valorem on coal tar dyes
or colors and 20 per cent ad valorem
on all other products or preparations
of coal tar not colors Or dyes and not
medicinal, stand unchanged. He agreed
to open his books to the committee to
show the profits Of his company.
