HARVESTER TRUST
MUST DISSOLVE
u. S Court Declares Company
a Monopoly.
ACTIONS ARE CRITICISED
Set Ninety Days to Dissolve Company
or the Court viii Appoint a Re-
eeiVer.

The International Harvester com
pany was declared to be a monopoly in
restraint of interstate and foreign
trade and was ordered dissolved by a
majority decision filed in St. Paul by
Judges Smith and Hook in the United
4 States court. Judge Sanborn dissented.
Unless the $14O,00O,000 corporation
submits a plan for the dissolution OF
the combination into at least three in
dependent concerns within ninety
days of the issuance Of an appeal
mandate from the United States su-
preme court, the decision announces
that the court will entertain an appli-
cation for the appointment Of re-
ceiver for all the properties Of the
corporation.
The majority opinion held that the
International Harvester company was
from its organization in 1902 in viola
tion Of the Sherman law. The original
corporation, formed OF five concerns,
violated the first section of the Sher-
man act by restraining competition
among themselves. The combined or
ganization also tended to mOnopOize
trade in contravention of the second
section of this law.
The decision declares that while the
International Harvester company and
its selling organization. the lnterna
tional Harvester Company of America,
control from so to IS per cent of the
trade in agricultural implements man
ufactured by them, their treatment Of
smaller competitors in general has
been fair and just.
The court finds fault with the ac-
tions of the corporation, aside from
the technical violation of the Sher-
man law, for only two actions. The
opinion declares there was no excuse /
for the advertising of the products Of I
D. NJ. Osborne & Co. as Independent /
for two years after it had virtually /
entered the International Harvester
company.
The other act censured by the de
cision was the manner in which the
five original concerns were turned
over to the International Harvester
company by William c. Lane, a New
York banker, who contended that he
had purchased the properties.
"The court is clearly OF the opin-
ion," the decision reads, that the pro
cess by which it was made to appear
that the properties we're sold to Lane
was merely colorado"

result of the European war.
He addressed a letter to Attorney
General McReynolds asking him to in
vestigate recent initiation in prices and
to take up the question whether the
persons responsible are liable to pros

The attorney general replied at once
that instructions had already been
sent out to district attorneys and spe-
cial agents of the department to in.
vestigate conditions in their localities.
He states that the department had
been investigating the price of food
stuffs for some time. Mr.. McReynolds
suggests that the department of com

Just A Lie.

In the last issue of the Galena
Republican appeared an article
telling that the News has chang
ed hands and gone under new
control. If this is a fact it is
the first we have heard of it. No
body has bought the News, and
we would know it if such a thing
had happened, for the reason
that we would be called on for a
title.
No, Mac has just lied, but he
will blame it onto some poor re-
porter. The News has not been
sold, neither is any deal on for it,
and we shall expect the Republic
can to make a correction.
We think the Republican has
the matter mixed somewhat. The
Republican evidently has some
other paper in mind.

Is in Bad.

Uriah B. Cole, colored, son OF
Uriah Cole, living in this city, is
in bad with Uncle Sam. He has
been a city mail carrier in Garth
age for the past ten years, and
is now in the clutches of the law,
charged with rifling letters. The
Joplin Globe of Tuesday, Sept.
p, says:
"Uriah B. Cole, a city mail
carrier employed at the Carthage
postoffice, was arrested at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon by Postoffice
Inspectors L. H. Hodge of Car
thage and r. A. Ward of SPRING
field on a charge of rifling the
mail. He was taken to Joplin,
where he will be given a prelim-
mary hearing before United
States Commissioner B. F. Key
ton.
Cole was arrested after he had
been watched for several days.
Complaint was made to Postmas-
ter Ben F. Hackney last Thurs
day by the Y. M. C. A. that let
tiers mailed to the association at
local boxes containing money had
not been delivered. Cole had
collected mail from the boxes
from which the letters had been
sent and was suspected. After
Mr.. Hackney had mailed several
decoy letters to the Y. M. c. A.
in an envelope sent out by that
association and some of them had
not been delivered by Cole, he
notified Mr.. Hodge, the local in
spector.
Yesterday afternoon two let
tiers were mailed to the Y. M. c.
A. containing marked money.
Cole is said to have delivered
only one of the letters and when
arrested two 81 bills which had
been in the other envelope were
found in his possession, accord
ing to the inspector. A number
of persons had been sending
money to the Y. M. c. A. in pay
ment for lecture course tickets
being sold by the association and
it is not known how many were
not delivered.
THE mail carrier has been en-
ployed at the Carthage Office for
about ten years."
