 IN CHASE CASE
Justice BisseIl Declares Ten Day Clause in Contract
 Lacks Mut1Ialfty.
SAYS ORGANIZED BALL
 IS MAMMOTH MONOPOLY
Vacates Injunction Obtained by Chicago Club and Gives
 Chase $1O and Costs.

Buf6alo, N. r., July M-Organized baseball was given a severe arraign- ment today by Justice Bissell in his injunction against Hal Chase who to the BdfnaIo Federals.
 The lack of nutuality in the so- called to-day clause of the contract under which Chase was playing with flle Chicago team formed the basis of tlaea decision vacating the injunction. That organized baseball is a. violation of the Sherman antitrust law was denied by Justice Biaseu, who said he could not agree that .sthe business of baseban for profit is interstate trade or commerce and therefore subject to the provisions of the Sherman act. z
 The court held. however, that it was monopIy of the baseball business in contravent1on of the common low.
 Chase was served with injunction papers June 25 while he was playing with the Buna1o team at Federal Park. He has been on the bench since. In his aff1davft upon which the fnotfen to vacate the injunction was Chicago club 10 days notice of hds fn- tention to leave at the expiration of
 which time he Aligned the Buffalo con tract.
 Regardine the 10 days clause, Jus tice Bissel1 says:
 me 4)l41nCln can terminate EnS contract at any time on 10 days no tice. The defendant is bound to many obligations under the remarkable pro- visions of the national agreement. The players contract, executed in ac- cordance with its terms, binds him not only for the playing season of six months from April 14 to October IA, but also for another season if the plaintiff chooses to exercise it's option and if 1t insists upon the requirement. Of an option clause in each succeed. ing contract the defendant can be held for g, term of years. His only is to abandon his voca- ton. The absolute lack of mutuality both of obligation and of remedy in this contract, would prevent g. court of equity from making it the basis Of equitable relief by injunction or oth- erwise. The negative covenant, under such circumstances, is without a con- sfderation to support 1t and is un- by inJunction.''
 Justice BisseH declared organized baseball as complete a monopoly of the baseball business for profit as any monopoly can be made
 "It is in contravention Of the com mon law" he said, 'dn that it invades the right to contract as a property right and in that it is a, combination to restrain and control the exercise of a profession or calling

 Mayor Wilson said today he knew nothing about the attempt to secure an injunction to stop the carrying out of the Warrenite contracts.

N: H. SUIT TO !. BE PUT UP TO
 THE PRESIDENT
McReynOlds Has All Plans Ready For Presentation
 Of His Action.
$10,OO0, ,OOO DIFFERENCE
 CLAIMED BY DIRECTORS
Wilson and Cabinet Expected to Approve Action of
 Attorney General.

Washington, July 21--Attorney Gen eral McReynolds had ready for pre- sentation today to President Wilson and the cabinet his plans for filing the governmen civil suit to separate the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company from it's subsidiar- les in the United States district at New York within the next few days The attorney general had prepared for the president and his advisers a detailed explanation of the course pursued by the Department of Justice in it's pro- tracted negotiations with the New IIas- ven road to settle the case out of court.
 Decision to lay the New Haven case before the President and his cabinet followed a. final unsuccessful effort to solve the problem without litigation Attorney General McReynolds. T. W. Gregory, special assistant in charge of ven directors consisting of President Hustis, E. T. HadIey, T. Dewitt Guy Ter and Moorfield Story, counsel for. the road. had held a long conference at which suggestions were made by the committee for sale of the Boston & Maine stock owned by the New Ha.- ven freq from conditiousA imposed bv the state of Massachusetts.
 An unconditional sale, the commit tee are said to have declared, would insure a. price of $10, ,000,000 above what the New Haven might otherwise hope to get, The outcome was that Attorney General McReynolds decIin-. ed to accept the committees sugges- ton and, in a formal statement fol- lowing the conference. President Hus-4 tis made it clear that he and the com raittee expected the government to file It's suit.
 Despite the hope expressed by MT. FIustis that, after filing Of the bill, points cf difference could be reduced to a nniuimun. indications today were that there would be no compromises.
 It was generally believed here today that President Wilson and his cabinet would approve the course of the De- partnent of Justice in it's negotiations with the New Haven. There was yir-. tually no doubt that. following the f1- ing Of the suit, efforts are to be made to have a federal grand jury in New York return indictments against many directors of the New Haven who served in the days when it was build ing up a. system which Attorney Gen eral McReynoIds holds is a combine tion in restraint of trade.
 Both the civil and criminal actions are to be taken under the Sherman antitrust law.
