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

Trenton, N. j., June 5.-The deci-
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.
1t holds the foreign trade Of the
Steel corporation is not violation or
the Sherman law.
1t holds certain price-fixing agree
ments which followed the Gary din
ners, but which stopped before the
bill was filed, to have been unlawful.
1t allows the government to move
to retain jurisdiction of the bill II
such price-fixing 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 20,
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 or
the intent of those forming them or
the inherent nature Of their contem-
plated act wrong the public by unduly
restricting competition or unduly OBJ
structing the course Of trade.
