A Huge Combine Smashed.

The unanimous decision of the Unit
ed States supreme court, in the case OF
the government against the Lehigh Val
lev Railroad company and its subsid-
iary coal companies, smashes one OF the
most daring and successful combines
on record. For years before the enact
ment of the Sherman antitrust law,
and through all the years since, the de-
PENDANT and its associates had main
tanned a practical monopoly of the min
ing and transportation of anthracite
coal in the extensive anthracite terri
tory which its operations covered. IL
virtually nullified the provisions of the
antitrust law by the simple and trans
parent device Of separate coal mining
and sales companies, which il organized
and controlled. and which were, to all
intents and purposes, itself under an
other name. BY this expedient, Il got
around the commodity clause Of the in
terstate commerce act, which forbids
carrier to transport coal In which II
has any interest; and il was able to
maintain it's monopoly through the lie
gal preference which il gave TO its as
ISOLATED companies.
The evidence before the court showed
that the Lehigh Valley Railroad com
pany controlled 10000 acres of anthra-
cite land. and that 95 per cent Of the
coal tonnage moved by the railroad
was controlled by it through its com
pIete dominance Of the company which
produced the tonnage. The policy, the
court finds. "was continued after the
passage Of the antitrust act with in
creasing energy and tenacity Of pur-
pose. with the result that a practical
monopoly was attained" So this huge
combine i a. last smashed, and its
stocks. bonds and properties 30 redis-
tributed as to make each part in fact
independent and competitive.
Aside from the Immediate effects Of
this decision, K is q wholesome thing
to have the fact definitely established
that 30 important a piece Of nstional
legislation a. the antitrust act can
not be indefinitely juEgied with and
rendered mesningless.-Boston Herald
