STEEL TRUST NOT
MONOPOLY, SAYS
DISTRICT COURT
Injunction Brought to Dissolve Co..
pOTatiOn Refuses
DECISION is IMAM M OU S
Purchase of Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company During Panic of 1907
Upheld.
DECISION IS UNANIMOUS

Trenton, N. j., June 4-The United
States district court for New Jersey
yesterday handed down unanimous
decision refusing the petition of the
federal government to dissolve the
United States steel corporation. As
against the government, the court re-
fused to dissolve the corporation hold
ing that in acquiring its foreign and
home trade the concern did not yio-
late the Sherman antitrust act, and
refused all the injunctions prayed for
by the department of justice.
AS against the steel corporation,
the court held that the committee
meetings participated in by 80 per
cent of the steel trade of the country
including the Steel corporation, sub
sequent to the famous Gary dinners
of eight or nine years ago. were an
unlawful combination to control pric
es; but as these meetings had stop
ped before the government had filed
its complaint in October, 1911, the
judges held that there was no occas-
ion for an injunction.
The opinion of the court suggests
that such practices lie within the
province of the new federal trade
commission but adds that ii there re-
petition is apprehended the court will
on motion of the government retain
jurisdiction of the case for that par
ticular purpose
synopsis of the decision of the
senior judge, George Burlington, pre-
pared by direction of the court, states
that the keynote of the entire opinion
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1915-06-04

| is that this case, a proceeding under
the Sherman antitrust law, is largely
one of business facts
In another part of the opinion the
court states that "the real test of
monopoly is not the size of that
which is not acquired III mere
size were the test of monopoly and
trade restraint" the court further on
said. 1--WE have not one but half a
dozen unlawful monopolies in the
large. department stores of single
-ity."
The court found nothing wrong in
the steel corporation acquiring the
Tennessee coal and iron company
during the financial panic OF 1907,
and thus virtually approves the at
titude of the Roosevelt adminstra-
tion in not interfering on that deal.
On this point the court held that the
output of Tennessee at the time was
only IL per cent of the company's
total output; that up to that time it
had not been a business success;
that its principle product, rails, was
made at loss; that it's ultimate sue
cess was doubtful and involved a
further outlay of $25,000,000 and that
the purchase of the Tennessee proper
ty as well as that of several other
steel concerns earlier in the history
of the big corporation was made in
fair business course and was the
honest exertion of ones right to con
tract for ones benefit, unaccompan-
led bsoa wrongful motive to injure
others
With regard to Andrew Carnegie,
who, the government charged was a
a party to the unlawful combina-
ton and took the bonds of the cor
poration with all the infirmities at
taching to such participation" the
court found that there is no proof
that he accepted any other relation
in the formation of the steel corpora
tion than that of seller of his stocks
and bonds; and the court declared to
be true Mr.. Carnegie's statement that
he disposed of his interests in de
sire to retire from the hazards and
responsibility of active business.
Four judges. Burlington, McPher-
son, Hunt and Woolley, sat in this
case While the suit was filed in the
district court, it was heard on writ
of expedition by the judges of the
third judicial circuit who form the
court of appeals, The next step in
the case will be the fling of formal
decree and the government will then
take an appeal to the supreme court.

BERNSTORFF WILL
SEND EMISSARY
TO GERMANY
To Explain American Attitude to
Emperor William
BRIEF NOTE FROM PRESIDENT
Asks Imperial Government If 1t In
tends to Abide by Principles of
international Law.

Washington, June 4-President
Wilson yesterday drafted a note,
brief and pointed, to be sent to Ger
many asking a definite question
whether the imperial government In
tends to be guided in the future by
the humane principles embodied in
international law for the conduct of
maritime warfare. 1t will be submit
ted to the cabinet today and dispatch
ed before the weekend.
Coincidently there will start for
Berlin personal emissary OF Count
Won Bernstorff, the German embassa-
dor, to lay before Emperor William
and high officials of the German gov
ernment the substance OF what the
ambassador learned from President
the true state of public opinion in the
United States toward the German
government, and the American point
of view on submarine warfare.
The ambassador in his interview
with the president, it became known
yesterday, said he would send within
a day or so a man of Judgment and
breadth to outline the situation to the
German government. The president
made arrangements at Count Won
Bernstorff's request for the safe con-
duct of the envoy. His name is not
known generally, but foreign govern
ments have already given assurances
to the United States that he will not
be molested.
The ambassador is understood to
have explained that he has had diff
Guilty on account of the cable censor
snip in making his government real
ize the feeling in the United States
and that erroneous reports had reach
ed Germany. President Wilson's EN-
phasis Wednesday on the fact that
the United States would omit no
word or act to secure an acquies-
cence with its position in the Lusit-
ania case was described by the EN-
bassador in a memorandum which he
has submitted to his government.
Count Won Bernstorff saw Secret
airy Bryan for few minutes yester
day and is understood to have given
him this memorandum to be deliver
ed through Embasador Gerard to the
German foreign office. At the state
department the ambassador also learn
ed that arrangements had been made
for the safe conduct of his spokes-
man. The dispatch of the embassad-
ors representative will not affect the
sending of the American govern
ments rejoinder to the last German
note, though it may delay Germanys
reply.
The transmission of cabled re-
port of conference such as occur
red Thursday through the courtesy
OF foreign government often makes
it difficult, it was pointed out in dip
lomatic quarters, for the recipient ma
tion to give full weight to the lang
uage of the writer of the communities
tion on the assumption that he does
not speak as freely and frankly as
might be the case if the messages
were not read by the officials of an
other government. Embasadcr Bern
storff's idea is to supplement the
cabled report with personal words
describing the situation accurately
sent through an emissary caGable of
