 Suits In Trust Cases
Briefs Against Steel Corporation Be Submitted First Week of Sesson-General Pershing Resisted On

By HUGH ". ROBERTS

in the beginning of the struggle, declar-
 ing it's intention 70 rely on the corpora tions, abandoned the prosecutions. In ths emergency he government could not run the risk of distracting the corporations through fear of an adverse verdict, and could not, ss a matter of fact, run the risk of securing d verdict itself. For the dsintegration of one of the big compan ies during the war would have removed that company from the line of industrial defense the government had prepared, and which it had determined to rely upon.
 The case of the government against the steel corporation will be submitted the first week of the session. It is re- garded as probable that the submission with arguments of counsel will be dis pensed with. Inasmach as the suit ha' been long before the court and the court is more or less familiar with it's nature and it's details, ii is regarded as prob able that the verdict will not long be de- layed.
 It has always been contention of the steel corporation that general extension of it's properties could not reasonably be expected as long as the governments suit hung fire The promise held out was that as soon as the case is disposed or in verdict favorable to the corporation the corporation will expand in all it's sub. sidiares. During the time of war. owing to the exigencies of war, the corporation did greatly improve certain of it's prop- critics at heavy expense If, however, a verdict favorable to the corporation Is handed down prior to January i, it is said to be certain that the corporation will engage in genera improvement and extension of all it's properties.
 In this programme Birmingham will, of course, share.

Washington. September 2A-(Special) It is authoritative'y esta ablished that the government, contrary reports notwith- standing, will press it's suits in the su- preme court against so-called trusts.
 The new term Of the court begins Octo- per 6. The first 'ant.-trust' case taken up will be that against the Lehigh Valley and Reading companies. The second will be that against the United States Stee! corporation a case in which Birmingham has been deeply interested.
 1t is declared that this case, unless the defendant company secures continu- snce, will be disposed of before the con cluson of the terms. It has always been regarded as possible that the government would drop the case, because 1t seems to be . generally prevailing understanding that the supreme court will sustain the verdict of the lower court, which verdict was against the government. There is no doubt now, however, but that the suit will be tried, and the government make an effort to secure the dissolution of the alleged trust or combine in restraint of trade
 The cases agaf1st the so-called trusts were not tried during the time of war The big corporations, although many of them made magnificent profits, did work which was absolutely necessary to the country in it's successful conduct of the war against Germany. The government,
