the Sherman law. The solicitor gener-
al also contended that the adoption Of
a series containing a tying clause
whereby every customer, In order TO
secure any one kind of machine from
the combine" was compelled to agree
not to use any other machine made by
the independents" and to use only
made by the combine was also In vto-
lation of the law.
Frederick P. Fish and Charles E..
Choate, Jr- Of Boston, were present to
defend the action Of the officiaIs. They
took the position that the consolidation
Of the separate concerns into the Unit
ed States Shoe Machinery Company
was a normal trade development. AS
to the tying clause. they declared
the court did not at this stage have
the power to consider that, because it
was merely an overt act, charged to
prove the conspiracy and not part Of
the conspiracy itself which was the
only thing the court could review.

standing to maintain rates between
the Lamport and Holt Line, the Hous-
ton Line. the Prince Line, the Barber
Line and Weir and Boyd's Line. carry
Ing commerce between New York and
La Plata, Montevideo, has existed since
January. 1912, according to testimony
Of Paul 3. Gerhart, New York agent OF
the Prince Line, today, before the
house merchant marine committee.
His line, he further testified. had an
other understanding with lines doing
business between New York and South
Africa. In the La Plata trade he de-
ciared there were no rebates and no
division Of territory.
THE time was when we New York
agents of the lines were permitted to
make rates on certain articles" said
Mr.. Gerhart. Nov they are made in
London"
When was that change nader"
asked Representative Humphries.
Il should say about two years ago."
NO MORE POOLING.
Speaking Of the South African trade.
the witness said he believed there was
no pooling but he had no doubt that
the London offices saw to it that each
line got its proportion OF the trade by
regulating the trips Of the respective
steamers.
Mr.. Gerhart testified that with the
four or Eve largest NAw York export
ers to La Plata special contracts were
made by the lines and smaller export
ers then given the same rates. Rep
resentative Alexander suggested this
prevented competition in rates.
Rate cutting Is a most unfortunate
position to be in," replied Mr.. Gerhart.
You can't run steamers unless on a
paying basis. You can't do 1t on q
paying basis except you have an un-
derstanding against cutting rates.
We have had some bitter experiences"
SAYS FREIGHTs ARE POOLED.
William E. Hahn, New York agent
for the Houston Line, testified that a
London conference" controlled the
New York trade to South Africa.
II may say know that the freights
are pooled" he testified.
Subject to that conference were the
Houston Line, the Prince Line, the
Hansa Line. the Union Clay Line, and
the American African Line. He de-
clared not q shipper was dissatisfied
with the South African service.
Chairman Alexander asked whether
the Houston Line was in any agree
ment regulating freight or passenger
traffic between the United States and
the Plata. Rates for this trade, the
witness said, were made in New York
at conferences among representatives
of the various steamship lines. although
no written agreements were entered
into. The conferences. he said, were
held once a week. In fixing rates, the
witness added, an effort was made to
keep them on parity with rates from
Germany and England.
Mr.. Hahn declared that his company
had not given rebates on outgoing
cargoes from the United States for
many years.
"I know nothing about rebates on
cargoes from Argentina to the United
States" said the witness, "but I know
from correspondence that rebate ar
rangements exist" <
Asked whether there were any
agreements between railroads and
steamship companies as to through
rates, Mr. Hahn said that as far as he
knew no%such agreements were ever
entered into.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Acts Of OFF,
