Monopoly to Trade Methods.
Washington, Mar. 4.-Luther Con-
ant. Jr., commissioner of corporations.
on Monday submitted to the president
his report on the International Harves-
ter company. long and exhaustive
document which concludes with the
statement that the companys position
in the industry is chiefly due to mo-
nopolistic combination in the harves-
ter machine business, certain unfair
competitive methods and superior
command of capital.
The report shows that the FIVE con-
Germs that consolidated in 1902 had
been in keen competition, but that this
competition had not been destructive
as at least four of them has been maxi
ing good profits. The new company.
says Mr. Conant, was able to maintain
its monopolistic position and extend
on a large scale into new lines of
the farm machinery industry, in part
by the acquisition of some of its chief
rivals in the harvesting. machine bust
ness; in part by using its monopolist-
ic advantage in these lines to force
the sale of its new lines; in part by
certain Objectionable competitive
methods, and especially through its ex-
ceptional command OF capital itself
the result of combination. The com
missioner found thai the value of the
physical properties that were involved
in the constellation plus the working
capital covered substantially 80 per
cent of the capital stock issued. so
there can be 10 charge Of great over
capitalization. The earnings of the
company have shown a marked in
