'U.S. STEEL CONCERN
HELD.TO Be LEGAL
Court Refuses Governments
Petition to Dissolve the
Corporation.
COMMITTEE MEETINGS
DECLARED UNLAWFUL
If Resumed, Judges Will Act
Promptly on Aotion-T. C. and
I. Deal Upheld.

TRENTON n j., June 4.-The United
States district court for New Jersey
yesterday afternoon handed down a
unanimous decision refusing the petit
ton of the federal government to dis
solve the United States Steel Corpora
ton. holding that, in acquiring It's
foreign and home trade, the concern
did not violate the Sherman antitrust
act The court refused all the in
functions prayed for by the Depart
ment of Justice.
AS against the Steel Corporation. the
court held that the committee meet
ings participated in by 95 per cent OF
the steel trade of the country. includ-
ing the Steel Corporation. subsequent
to the famous Gary dinners of eight
or nine years ago, were unlawful com
binations to control prices: but as
these meetings had stopped before the
government filed its complaint in Oc-
tober. 1911. the judges held that there
was no occasion for an injunction.
The opinion of the court suggests
that such practices lie within the
province of the new federal trade com
mission, but adds that if their repeti-
tion is apprehended. the court will, on
motion of the government, retain jurls-
diction of the case for that particular
purpose.
A synopsis of the decision of the
senior judge, Joseph ]. Burlington, pre-
pared by direction of the court, states
that the keynote of the entire opin-
ion is that this case, a proceeding
under the Sherman antitrust law, is
largely one of the business facts"
In another part of the opinion the
court states that 1.-The real test of mo-
nopoly is not the size of that which is
acquired, but the trade power of that
which is not acquired"
IF mere size were the test of mo-
nopoly and trade restraint" the court
further on said, I'VE have not one but
half a dozen unlawful monopolies in
the large department stores of a single
City"

tween the steel corporation and Its
manufacturing competitors, that such
real competition does exist and mas ex.
listed during the past ten years cannot
but carry a conviction that such is the
case. A study of the testimony OF these
men, who are close to and vitality inter
products, shows that a single large
concern, by lowering the price or any
substantial steel product it sells, can
depress the obtainable price. 1t 1ur
ther shows that the converse is not
the case-that no single large concern
by raising or even maintaining tne
price of any substantial steel proouc'
can raise the obtainable price.
The foreign trade branch OF the case
Is summed up by the court as follows:
With the facts, figures and results $
proved in this record we are warranted
in holding that the foreign trade OF !ne
steel corporation, it's mode OF bulidlhs =
it up and it's retention when punt up
are not contrary to the sherman law.

Ore Control.

With regard to the government
charge that the steel corporation had
monopolistic control of ore resources
the court said that all the basic plants
of the steel corporation are inland and
dependent on Lake Superior ores. while
the Atlantic steel companies-Bethle-
hem, Pennsylvania and Maryland
have unlimited supplies of Cuban and
other ores at water freights. The court
further says: The proofs further show
that with the enlargement of the Erie
canal system, Lake Superior ore will
be canal freighted from Buffalo to New
York harbor at 2S cents ton less than
the same ore is rail freighted from
Lake Erie to points in the Pittsburgh
district. With the enlargement of that
canal, the proofs are that blast fur
naces are now planned for location on
