ORDERS TRUST
TO DISSOLVE
Court Holds Harvester Trust
Is Monopoly.
JUDGE sANBoRN DIssENTs
Controls More Than Eighty Per Cent
OF the Trade In Necessary
Farm implements, Says
the Decision.

st. Paul-The international Har
vester Company was declared to be {
monopoly in restraint of interstate ani
foreign trade and was ordered dis
solved by majority decision FLED
here by Judges Smith and Hook in the
United States Court Judge Walter
HI. Sanborn dissented.
Unless the corporation submits 8
plan for dissolution within 80 days the
court will entertain an application fol
receiver.
Judge Hook, concurring, said:
''The International Harvester Com
pany is not the result of the normal
growth of the fair enterprise of an in
dividual, a partnership or corpora
ton. On the contrary, it was created
by combining i've great competing
companies which controlled more than
80 per cent Of the trade in necessary
farm implements, and it still main
tains substantial dominance.
"That is the controlling fact; all
else is detail. 1t may be, as is said
that there is a growing recognition oi
the need Of great concentrated re
sources for trade and commerce, even
though secured by combination, of in
dependent. competing concerns. But
that is not the Sherman act, and a
statute must be taken by the courts
as true estimate of the preponder
ance Of public opinion, which calls fol
legislative expression. 1t is not fo1
them to question whether that opinion
was rightly weighed or interpreted
whether it is wise or unwise OF
whether it has since changed.
Business ls Fair.
"It is but just, however, to say and
to make it plain that in the main the
business conduct of the company to
wards its competitors and the public
has been honorable, clean and fair
Some petty dishonesties were tracked
in at the start, mostly by subordinates
who had been in the service of the old
companies, but they were soon gotten
rid Of In this connection it should
also be said that specific charges OF
misconduct were made in the govern
ment's petition. which found no war
rant whatever in the proof. They were
of such a character and there was Sc
much of them apparently without foun
dation that the case is exceptional in
that particular"
The decision is by divided court
and the case will not be ended until
the Supreme Court has said the last
word.

Today the city attorney is preparing
an ordinance-an ordinance that will
result in the removal of the poles or an
