St. Paul. Mimi, August 12.-The
International Harvester company to-
day was declared to be a monopoly
in restraint OF interstate and for
eign trade. and was ordered dis
solved by a majority decision In
the United States district court
Unless the $4,000. 900 corporation
submits a plan for the dissolution
OF the combination into at least
ninety days, or in case Of appeal
within ninety days OF the issuance
OF an appeal mandate from the
United States supreme court, the
decision announces that the court
will entertain an application for
all the properties OF the corpora
tion.
The decision OF the court was
given by Circuit Judge Walter !.
Smith of Iowa, with which Judge
William c. Hook OF Kansas agreed,
and from which Judge Walter II.
Sanborn Of Minnesota dissented.
The Majority Opinion.
The majority opinion held that
the International Harvester company
was from its organization in 1902
in violation OF the Sherman law.
The original corporation, formed Of
hve concerns. violated the first sec.
ton of the Sherman act by re-
straining competition among them
selves. The combined organization
also tended to monopolize trade I'm
contrayention OF the second section
of this law.
The decision declares that while
the International Harvester company
and its selling organization. the
International Harvester company OF
America, control from eighty to
eighty-hve per cent of the trade
in agricultural implements manufac-
tured by them. their treatment OF
smaller competitors in general has
been fair and just.
What Court Finds.
The court finds fault with the
actions OF the corporation, aside
from the technical violation OF the
Sherman law, for only two actions.
The opinion declares that there
was no excuse for the advertising
OF the products Of ID. NJ. Osborne
e. Co. as independent for two years
after IL had virtually entered the
International Harvester company.
This advertising was to induce pur-
chasers, the court finds, from those

president, and J. II. Spencer OF Man.

tatlyes from each town in the as

Cut Game From Politics.
James Spencer, speaking today OF
the meeting, said:
"Mr. Cleasby spoke very strongly in
favor OF weaving away the game and
fish commission from politics, and
placing Il under civil service rules,
as has been done In Wisconsin. AS
long as the commission was not un-
der civil service, he said, the efficien-
Icy would be much below par.
"One OF the objects of our associa.
tlon is to work for that as we'll as for
other legislation in the interest of
proper protection of the game.
another meeting of the association
will be held some time within the
next ten days or two weeks at Nicol-
let and report of the membership
committee will be received. The
committee on bylaws will also report
at that meeting. At that meeting a
name will be chosen for the associa-
tion.
"Mr. Cleasby's address was listened
to with great interest and at its
conclusion the association took a ris-
ing vote OF thanks.
General In Its Activities.
"The association is going to be
general in its activities for the better
I enforcement of the game laws, but is
going 10 turn its attention especially
to the preservation of the game In
and around Swan Lake. The associa-
tion favors the strict enforcement OF
the federal game law, forbidding the
shooting of game after sunset In the
evening, or before sunrise In the
morning. This gives the birds a rest
and feeding time of two hours each
day, an hour in the morning and an
hour in the evening. We believe that
with proper food and rest the game
will increase and will not try to leave
the lake.
"The officers OF the association are
livery anxious that all sportsmen OF
this neighborhood, whether they are
accustomed to hunt at Swan Lake OF
mot, become members OF the associa
/ tion."

Mr.. c. Z. Warner, Coal Traffic Agent
Of the Missouri Pacifc-Iron Mountain,
has sent out circular to the agents Of
the company at all points along the lines
notifying them of the importance oforders
for next winters coal being placed by
dealers at once. The circular calls at
tention to the fact that each year people
have delayed placing large per centage
Of their orders until winter, when the
mines are so overcrowded with work they
cannot promptly supply the fuel. FIRE.
quently, too, the railroads have not the
cars to transport the coal when so many
of these orders come in at one time. This
latter condition is apt to be particularly
true this winter, the circular states, on
account of the number Of cars required to
transport the unusual crops which have
been raised throughout this section OF
the country. Although the circular does
not mention the fact, another advantage
of ordering coal before winter sets in is
that the consumer is able to buy it at a
much lower rate.
