ed the argument for the government In
reply to a question by Judge Putnam
as to what kind of a decree the govern
ment desired, Mr.. Gregg said it had been
the practice in cases like the American
Tobacco case and the Powder Trust case
for the court on finding the combination
to be unlawful, to issue an interlocuto-
ry decree against the combination and
to give the defendants an opportunity
to submit some plan for restoring COM
petition and carrying out the orders of
the court
Further in reply to questions from
Judge Putnam, Mr. Gregg stated that
even If the court should find the original
organization of the United Shoe Machin-
cry Co. to be lawful, or If it should de-
eide that the various companies acquired
had been purchased lawfully and that
the leases were valid, it could still issue
decree against the corporation on the
ground that it was an instrument used
to effect an unlawful purpose.
Has this court any right to declare
the contract for the purchase of the
Thomas G. Plant Co. void?" asked Judge
Putnam.
Mr. Gregg said the court had that right
