colors and uniforms Of the Father
land, are little troubled whether they
fall into British, French or American
hands. for they are Of the tin and
wooden variety, manufactured for the
Christmas trade.
Tin and wooden soldiers are about
the only kind that Germany il will
ing to have leave her domain now,
but 1t begins to look as If the SOL
diers. h dolls, the mechanical toys
and various other Christmas products
OF German ingenuity and handicraft
are not destined to take their accus-
toned places on American shelves
and showcases this fall and winter
unless Germany succeeds in gaining
mastery Of the seas. It is a far cry
to Christmas. perhaps, and possibly
a bit incongruous to be talking of
Christmas toys in the same breath
with a general European war; but
looking at the matter from another
standpoint, the fact that one has a
decided bearing upon the other js
just another example of how far
reaching are the effects of a great
war n what q multiple Of channels
Of both trade and pleasure that they
strike.
If the European war continues for
a period of more than a few weeks,
as now indicated, the familiar in
scription made in Germany" will not
be seen in this country as in the past.
Already importers Of toys in the
United States r bewailing a eitua-
ton that virtually puts them out OF
business. The first shipments Of for
eign-made toys arrived at New York
last week on the steamship President
Wilson. It promises to be the last
cargo Of the kind for a long time.
Most of the toys sold in this coun-
try at the Christmas season have
come from Germany and Austria.
Now that shipments cannot be made
from those lands, Americans will be
obliged to depend upon themselves for
toys. Indeed, some Of the best toys
sold In this country are made in
America. But in the cheaper kinds
manufacturers in this country never
have been able to compete with for
eign toy-makers.
The war will give American makers
a market they have not heretofore
enjoyed. Perhaps in other ways the
European trouble will foster home in
dustries.

H TRUST

The country's business circles have
been awaiting with more than ordi-
nary interest the decision Of the fed
eral district court at st. Paul in the
celebrated harvester-trust case. The
decision, announced today. is against
the trust.
The International Harvester COM
pany was organized in New Jersey in
1902. Prior to that time there were
ten or twelve establishments Compel
ing In the manufacture and sale Of
harvesting implements. The alleged
trust was formed through the COM
bination Of the Mccormick Harvesting
Machine company, the Deering COM
pany, the Plano Manufacturing COM
pany, the Wadder, Business and
G%lessner company and the Milwaukee
Harvester company.
The company was incorporated in
New Jersey with a capital stock orig
inally Of s12o,ooo,oo The control OF
the capital stock was placed in the
hands of three voting trustees-Cyrus
H. Mccormick. Charles Deering and
George w. Perkins-who issued stock
trust certificates to the persons &C
tually owning the stocks.
The department Of Justice. at Wash
ington, asked that the corporation
known as the International Harvester
company be dissolved. on the ground
that it is a monopoly in restraint of
trade. Proceedings in the attorney
generals office were started April 10,
1912. The federal government also
asked that the corporation be barred
from interstate commerce and that re-
ceivers be appointed to take charge of
its affairs.
The charges we're that the company
in monopolizing the sale and manu-
facture of harvesting machinery had
advanced prices "to the grave injury
of the farmer AND the general pub
lic'; that it controls at least 80 per
cent of the trade in the United States
in harvesters or grain binders, rs per
cen of the mowers, and more thar
it had absorbed competing companies
while allowing these companies to ad-
vertise as being Independent, "thereb,
misleading, deceiving and defraudne
the public and more effectually Grip.
ping existing competitors and keep.
ing out new ones"
Other accusations were that the In.
ternational Harvester company hat
bought up patents. in order to per.
petuate a monopoly; that it bound re.
tailers not to sell the product of other
manufacturers; that it secured controi
Of railroads, so as to enjoy a prefer.
ence in freight rates and that the
subsidiary concerns dealing in iron
steel, lumber and oother commodities
were used to prevent competition.
