A POPULAR VERDICT

When the prosecution OF the United
States Steel Corporation was first in
etituted The Intelligencer at that time
expressed itself strongly against It's
inclusion in the category OF han mful
Industrial combinations, or that IL was
operative in restraint OF trade within
the meaning OF the Sherman antitrust
act. The decision OF the Federal
court, Just rendered. supports that
contention and frees the corporation
OF the i%mputations that have been
cast upon 1t. simply because Il came
under the sophistical classification OF
big business" No greater calamity
could have happened to the industrial
and financial interests OF the country
at this critical time than the dissolu.
tion OF this corporation. The I'M
scrambling OF It's organization would
have entailed a evere loss to the in
dustrial interests OF the United states.
~ IL would not have precipitated a
chaotic state OF affairs. besides in.
HA~ahh hihithHt uudutldl lOtses on
its share and bondholders.
The decision OF the court not only
relieves Il Of its former arbitrary elias
%siheation. but Il gives the Corpora
ton a clean bill OF health in the con
cuct OF It's business. II has never in.
tentionally exceeded its legal rights.
nor has II eve put itself in the posi-
ton Of openly defying the Law. II
thus establishes an example 10 other
corporations that have been eager to
take advantage OF the technicaIities
OF legal restraint. and who. in many
eases. have overstepped the bounds.
The main points OF the courts de-.
oision are to be found in the following
summary Of a Pittsburgh contempt
rary: That the Steel Corporation has
not been operating IN restraint OF
home trade. that q IL not a monopo-
~; that Il has not been ~throttIing

strained nor monopollzcd foreign
