RULES UNITED STATES
STEEL NEED NOT QUIT
Federal Court at Trenton, NJ. j., De-
MES U. S. Plea-Foreign Trade
Is Upheld.

Trenton, N j., June 5.-The Geci-
sion in the United States Steel cor
poration suit filed in the United States
district court here on Thursday holds
that the corporation should not be dis
solved. The principal points in the
decision are:
1t refuses to issue any Injunction.
It holds the foreign trade of the
Steel corporation is not a violation of
the Sherman law.
1t holds certain price-fxing agree
ments which followed the Gary din
ners, but which stopped before the
bill was filed, to have been unlawful.
It allows the government to move
to retain jurisdiction of the bill II
such price-ixing practices are re-
newed, but suggests matters may now
be controlled by the new trade COM
mission
The suit against the United States
Steel corporation was filed October rs,
1911, during the Taft administration
and was started by George w. Wicker
sham, who was attorney general.
The opinions, two in number, are
/ largely a discussion of whether the
steel corporation monopolized the
steel trade or dealt unfairly with COM
petitors or purchasers.
"This case, a proceeding under the
Sherman antitrust law, is one largely
of business facts" says the opinion.
1t declares all the trust cases so
far determined settled down to this,
that only such combinations are with
in the Sherman act as by reason of
the intent of those forming them or
the inherent : ature of their contem-
plated act wrols the public by unduly
restricting competition or unduly OBJ
structing the course of trade.

Resignation No Surprise.
The resignation of Mr.. Bryan was
expected in Washington. That there
has been serious disagreement be-
tween him and the president, as well
as other members of the cabinet, over
the tenor and text of the German note
has been a matter which could not be
kept inside official circles.

to Germany dealing with the Lusitania
incident He believed the president
should have taken less stringent at
titude in the first note, with view
toward settling the difficulty along the
diplomatic avenues provided under
treaties which he recently negotiated
with Great Britain and France.

In recent cabinet meetings Mr..
Bryan kept up his pleading for more
pacific attitude on the part Of the ad-
ministration.

write part of the second note and in
corporate some of the ideas contained
in his peace treaties.
According to report, some of Mr.
Bryan's contributions to the note have
been heavily blue-penciled by the pres
ident, who has been upheld by most
of the other members of the cabinet.
Some Of Mr.. Bryan's conciliatory
spirit has been Incorporated in the
note, but the steel ring of that portion
of the first Lusitania document, which
was written by the president himself
was not toned down in any way.
