Federal Supreme Court Dpholds
M Order Of Custer From
the State.
LONG DEBATE IS PREDICTED
Senators Expect to Discuss Trade
Commission Bill for Two Months
-House Passes All Anti
N Trust Measures.

Washington, June 9.-The supreme
court today affirmed the decree Of the
Missouri supreme court ousting the
International Harvester Company OF
America from the state and filming 1t
$4,000 for violation of the state anti.
trust law.
The court held. the law was consti.
tutional, although it applies to re.
straints Of combination dealing in
commodities and not combinations of
labor.
Proceedings against the Information
al Harvester Company OF America, the
selling branch Of the International
Harvester Company, were brought In
Missouri by Herbert S. Hadley, then
attorney genelnl, in May, 1908. The
attorney general alleged that the com.
pany was a trust in violation of the
common law and the antitrust laws
Of Missouri and asked that the court
GUST the company from the state and
impose substantial fine.
The taking Of testimony was be-
gun the same month as the filing of
the suit and continued more than a
year. Judge Theodore Brice was APP.
pointed special commissioner for the
supreme court and heard the suit.
The testimony covered more than
LOCO typewriter pages.
The principal witness was George
w. Perkins, partner then in the firm
of J. p. Morgan & Co. Mr.. Perkins
was said to be one of the chief men
in the organization of the Information
al Harvester Company, which was
formed in 1902 by the merger of
eleven companies dealing in farm ma
chinery. On the testimony of Mr..
Perkins largely the opinion of Com.
missioner Brice was based.
Commissioner Brice reported his
findings to the supreme court in Sep.
TENDER, 1910 He recommended that
the company be held guilty.
