HARVESTER TRUST
MUST DISSOLVE
u S. Court Declares Company
a Monopoly.
ACTIONS tRE CRITICISED

Get Ninety Days to Dissolve Company
or the Court Will Appoint a Re-
ceiver.
The international Harvester com
pany was declared to be a monopoly III
restraint of interstate and foreign
trade and was ordered dissolved by d
majority decision filed in st. Paul by
Judges Smith and Hook in the United
States court. Judge Sanborn dissentel.
Unless the $140,000,O00 corpora a>lon
submits-a plan for the dissolution Oh
the combination into at least three In
dependent concerns within ninety
days of the issuance OF an appear
mandate from the United States SUI
preme court, the decision announces
that the court will entertain an appll-
cation for the appointment of re-
ceiver for all the properties OF the
corporation.
The majority opinion held that the
International Harvester company was
from its organization in 1902 in viola
tion of the Sherman law. The orlglnal
corporation, formed of five concerns
violated the first section of the Sher-
man act by restraining competltloh
among themselves. The combined or
ganization also tended to monopollze
trade In contravention Of the second
section of this law.
The decision declares that while tne
international Harvester company and
it's selling organization, the lnterna'
tional Harvester Company Of America,
control from so to IS per cent OF the
trade in agricultural implements man
ufactured by them, their treatment OF
sma""-r competitors in general has
been fair and just.
The court finds fault with the &C.
tions of the corporation, aside from
the technical violation of the Sher'
man law, for only two actions. The
opinion declares there was no excuse
for the advertising of the products OF
D. M. Osborne & Co. as independent
for two years after it had virtually
entered the International Harvester
company.
The other act censured by the de-
cision was the manner in which the
five original concerns were turned
over to the International Harvester
company by William c. Lane, New
York banker, who contended that he
had purchased the properties.
rs "The court is clearly of the opin-
ion," the decision reads, chat the pro-
cess by which it was made to appear
that the pronerties were sold to Lane
was merely colorado"

Canadian Bride Blown Up by Spy.
The railroad bridge on the Lake st.
John railway, north of Quebec, Can.r

According to a report received al
the war ministry, three railway EN-.
ployes were killed, and trespasser,
understood to be German spy, was
shot. This report has not been con-
firmed
The war minister says that the
bridge was apparently blown up to
embarrass Canada's mobilization. AS
a result, orders were issued to guard
all Canadian bridges with militia or
special police.
One million bags of flour were con-
tribted by the people Of Canada to
ward the defense of the British en-
pire. The Duke of Connaught, COVER.
nor general of Canada, sent the fol-
lowing cablegram to the British gov
ernment in London:
"My advisers request me to inform
you that the people of Canada, through
their government, desire to offer one
million bags of flour as a gift to the
people of the United Kingdom, to be
placed at the disposal of his majesty's
government for such purposes as may
be expedient."
The gift, which represents value
of $3,00O,OO0, was eagerly accepted. by
the British government and will be
shipped to Liverpool in few days on
merchantmen which will be conveyed
across the Atlantic by British cruis.

scohol building was taken up. The
move was opposed by some few mem

other ladies addressed the meeting
on the subject. The urgent need
of new building was pointed out,
not only that the building now used
is far too small to accommodate the
army of children now seeking edu-
cation there, but that the present
one Is in a most unsanitary condi-

1t cannot be remedied,

present that $4,000 be appropriate
for the purpose of erecting new

extra were voted with which to pur-
chase lot for the new building,

COAL DEVELOPMENT
BEGINS In PIKE.

Six modern and well equipped
coal operations on Marrowbone creel
now working full time may well be
said to mark the beginning of the
development of the coal industry in
Pike county. These are, the Allie
gheny Coke Co., the Greenough Coal
& Coke Co., Elkhorn Consolidated
Coal Co., Big Branch Coal Co..
Henry Clay Coal Co., Marrowbone
Coal & Coke Co. Despite the fact
that the manufactures are not now
using nearly so much coal and coke
as one year ago, these mines are
overwhelmed with orders for their
product, and at this time their
greatest difficulty is with the labor
problem.
One of the most modern coke pro
ducing plants in the world Is To-
Gated one mile above the little town
of HELLER on the Marrowbone. This
is the Allegheny Coke Co., success
sor to the Mitchell Coal Co., and
first installed as colliery, but
later changed into coking enter
prise by Mr.. T. J. Mitchell, of I'm
iontown, Pa, its present general
manager. One hundred and fifty
coke ovens convert the entire coal
output of the company's mines into
coke, and the finishedproduct Is
marketed and consumed within two
hundred miles of the mines, and
most OF It within one hundred
miles. Nine thousand tons OF coke
were shipped from this plant last
year from June LIST. with only part
OF the ovens completed. The entire
number were working full time by
january 1, 1914, and this number
!. ,ve1a may be- doubled this year.
