ATTORNEY GENERAL REPORTS
ANTITRUST SUITS PENDING

Pending in the United States cour
are forty-nine suits instituted by tn
government through the office of tn,
attorney general in violation of tn
sherman antitrust law. Thirty-sever
are civil and twelve criminal cases
This was announced yesterday
Washington in special report t.,
congress by Attorney General Nc
Reynolds.
The report also states that com
plants of violation of the anti-trus
law are coming into his office at th'
rate of thirty-siX per month and tina
he is perfecting an organization
through which such complaints ma,
be quickly and thoroughly investigat
ed and violations vigorously deal
with. In that work the attorne,
general. says he H1ll freely use tn,
several district attorneys.
Many of the most vital cases ar;
against railroads. i These are suit,
which intend to force dissolution O.
existing combinations of lines in thu
same territory. These lines woult
ordinarily be in competition, but ow
ing to combination of stock contro
are under one management and cen
trail control Such cases the govern
ment seeks to have handled by tn
courts so as to restore competitiv
conditions.
One of the chief of these is the
proposed action against the New
York Central lines. Another nov
pending is that against the Lacka-
wanna Railroad and the Lackawanns
Coal Company. The government seek
to have the railroads ownership ant
operation of coal lands separated
from the control of 3the railroad
which handles the traffic in the mint
district. In the New York Centra
case the government seeks segrega
ton of the control of three direci
lines between Buffalo and Chicago
all of which are now under New Yorl
Central control, with competition
stifled.
In prosecuting the case which re.
suited in the court ordering thu
Southern Pacific to relinquish con
troll of the Union Pacifis, Attorne,
General McReynolds says he lait
down the principle which will be his
main contention in prosecuting case
now pending. The identical principle
of the Union Pacific case will be ap
piled to that against the Lackawanns
Railroad and the Coal Company.
Suits of chief interest to Califor-
mans and the west are actions pend
ing against the Southern Pacific Rail.
road regarding oil lands, one of whicl
suits involves $4,000 acres in Califor-
MIA. The attorney general announces
it his purpose to recover title to lands
and oil lands which, he claims, have
wrongfully been acquired from tn
government by the road.
The special ropert of the attorney
general to congress is regarded a
significant of the administration
policy on the antitrust proposition.
