Washington. April 2S.--The federal
government today asked the supreme
court to rehenr It's disSolution suit
against the United States Steel Cor.
poration.
The suit recently was decided
against the government by . vote Of
four to three. with two members OF
the court apstaininK from partici-
patton. Action on the motion Will %
taken later.
Counsel for the government SAID
tho steel case would seem to fall
within the Reading case" which
was decided in the govsrnmsnSs
favor last Monday. and that the
holding Of the steel corporation to
be legal combination under the
anti trust act would appeal to CON
flict with conclusions expressed In
that and other decisions"
According to tho government. the
courts opinion failed to determine the
question. whether the corporation
was combination in restraint Of
trade. The government said. how.
ever, that apparently 'tno opinion
did concede that a crime had been
perpetrated.'
'"rhe criminal combination" the
motion continued. '!s permitted to
Aontinue. however. because mere
size Is not n violation Of law; 1t did
not achieve II 100 per cent monopoly;
it did not Cypress competitors. Sow
eral attorneys general did not Ale

jury to the public interest. Not.
withstanding these considerations We
earnestly insist that criminal COM
bination should not be permitted 20
suppress Its competition between
