STEEL TRUST DECISION
AND EFFECT ON MARKET

one so-cal1ed trust occasion was
given for apprehension that monopoly
practices would achieve domination OF
general business. Executive action
was compelled which led to a long
regime Of prosecution of large cor
porations and combinations under the
Sherman law, and for a time in a
variety of cases eliminating in the
Northern Securities decision, the ten
dency of judicial construction was to
hold that the mere combination OF
business formerly competing was es-
sentiaily unlawful.
It was not until the OIL and To-
bacco trust litigations that the inter
| probation OF the law began to take in
telligent shape The whole tenor OF
, political notions and previous judicial
construction was graphically summed
up in Judge Lacombe's famous reduc-
