STEEL TRUST WINS
GOVERNMENT SUIT
Federal Supreme Court Rules
Worlds Biggest Trade CON-
bInatlOn is Lawful.
LONG LEGAL BATTLE EEOEB
JuetIees Were Divided in Their Views,
Four Voting for Organization
and Three Against

Washington.-In a four-to-three de
cision recently the supreme court re
fused to dissolve the United States
subsidiaries comprising the so-called
steel trust
The governments 1ong-fought suit
for dissolution of the iron and steel
trade combination for alleged viola
ton of the Sherman antitrust law
was dismissed, with absolution for
the corporation from all existing
charges.
Placing the high courts 90. K" on
the steel corporation were Chief JUS
tice White and associate Justices Nc
Kenna, who announced the majority
opinion; Holmes and VandeVenter.
Justice Day gave the dissenting opin-
ion, which was joined by Justices
Pitney and Clarke Justices Mercy
nolds and Brandeis took no part, the
former having been attorney general
during the litigation, and the latter
having expressed opinions regarding
it before appointment to the bench
Primarily, the decree officially
brands the steel corporation as a
good" combination, with its legality
established.
Further, the court held that the
mere size, bigness. or preponderance
in industry of corporate combination
is not alone sufficient cause for their
dissolution.
The court also gave a new and far
reaching judicial Interpretation or ap-
plication of the Sherman law, anala-
gous to its famous rule Of reason" in
the Standard Oil and tobacco trust
cases. by declaring that public inter
est must be considered in applying the
law. The public interest. it was held
would not be served and might be in
jured by dissolving the steel concern.
Dissolution OF the corporation and
its principal subsidiaries was urged
in the spirited dissenting opinion.
The minority declared that the anti
trust law was violated in its organic
alton; that there has been open, no
torious and continued violation" of its
provisions and that approval OF
ilIegally-born combinations would
practically annul the Sherman law by
Judicial decree"

RAILROADS IN OWNERS HANDS
transportation Properties Valued at
20 Billions Have Been Turned
Sack to Private Control.

Washington.-One minute after mid
night. February %, government con-
troll OF the railroads ceased and Amer
ica's 20 billion dollar transportation
plant, the largest in the world, passed
back into the hands of the private
owners.
The shift meant no visible change
IA service so far as the travelling pub
lie was concerned. The centralizing
power dropped out The properties
became separate entities again. In the
great majority OF instances the same
men who managed the roads during
the twenty-six months of federal oper-
alton are still on their old jobs. Seized
ules were unaltered. For months the
roads had been planning their organ
izations and the transfer was made
without jar.
The outstanding facts in the stu
alton as the roads passed back to their
owners were:
Government authorities do not look
for any labor troubles OF size. The
strike fever" has been abating for q
week and more, and the vast majority
Of the 2 million employees will stand
behind the conservative brotherhood

Adjustment of pending wage de-
mands is to be pushed as fast as the
administration can expedite it. The
President is expected to appoint the
three new members of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in tn near fu-
ture. They will join with the other
eight in making the law effective
The officials of the fifteen railway
unions will meet to consider Presi-
dent Wilson's letter. 1t is forecast
that their effort will largely be to OBJ
tain appointments to the boards which
will be satisfactory to labor.
Railway executives, in general, take
the position that private operation now
enters upon its final test, and, to be-
come permanent, it must make good
Financing is really the biggest end Of
the problem. Four billion to six bill
lion dollars in the next five or six
years is the estimated need. Under
the bill. the roads will get credits
which for years have been waning,
largely on account OF uncertainty as
to governmental policy.
The railroads Of America, in fact,
now enter upon a new era Two dec
AIDES ago there was the period of cut
throat competition, with the evils
which brought about the anti-railroad
movement. Then came the opposite
swing to the period of unrestricted
restriction" under which the carriers
began to lag behind and their credit
began TO drop. By the new act, the In
terstate Commerce Commission is to
fix rates which will give 51s per cent
return on the real value of the prop
critics and this is expected to re-es-
tabiish the roads in the investment
markets. Then, too, instead OF merg-
ers being fought, they are now to be
encouraged-the lines are to be og-
ganized sooner or later into a COM
paratively few big systems. The COM
mission has vastly expanded powers

MEXICO SENDS A
BLUNT REFUSAL
United States Request for Re-
admission of Senate Com
mIttee Witness Denied.
BRANDS STATEMENTS FALSE
lean Consul His Government Re-
fuszi to Admit Forres to Mexico.

Neutrality-suspicious. rejection met
the the effort OF the state department
to induce the Mexican government to
permit Henry Forres, an American
citizen, to re-enter Mexico after testi-
flying before the senate subcommittee
on Mexican conditions.
Answering q note presented by
George T. Summerlin, charge at the
American embassy, Hilario Medina.
sub-secretary of foreign affairs. said
that Gin view OF the antecedants'' OF
orFTes, his entry could not be per
mitted. Medina also charged that For
res had conducted a propaganda
against Mexica among persons at
tending the sessions (for the sub
committee)
Required to Testify.
The American request. according to
unofficial text, laid stress on the fact
that American citizen could not refuse
severe penalty.
In view of these extenuating cir
cumstances." Mr. SummerIin's note
added, land without denying the right
of the Mexican government TO refuse
admittance to undesirable aliens, the
department Of state believes that in
these cases an exception might be
made which would not destroy the
principles of international law"
The Mexican reply dealt only with
the specific case of Forres, whose
home is at Matamoros, Mex, and who
was refused a passport wise by the
Mexican consul at Eagle Pass, Tex,
when he sought to og home after hav-
ing testified.
Statements Sarcastic.
Permit me to point out to your ex-
cellency," the Mexican reply said,
that the said Mr. Forres, in testifying
before the subcommittee of the United
States senate stated that conditions
prevailing at present in Mexico were
chaotic, exhibiting as evidence Of his
assertion that the president of the re-
public, on the occasion of his visit TO
Cuatro Cienegas, had been escorted by
1000 soldiers. Furthermore the said
Mr.. Forres expressed himself in harsh
terms against Article q of the con-
stitutiOn, stating it simply provided for
Crnfiscation or robbery. In general
his statements were not only deroga-
tory to Mexico and this government,
but were also sarcastic.

wise to Avoid Insect

There seems to be no doubt that the
big spider Of Arizona, New Mexico,
California. Old Mexico, and many 9TH
er places is "a relative Of the tarantula
OF Spain and Italy, and in color, dis
position, and the feature of hairy legs
a layman might easily mistake him
for the tarantula. But perhaps there
is not much In a name sc far as spi-
ders go. and IT IS just as well to avoid
if possible that particular spider
which so many Americans call the
tarantula. though it is quite certain
that the meanness of its disposition
has been exaggerated.

COAL MINERS ARE
 LEAVING THEIR EMPLOYERS

ss).-The unemployment of coal miners in kyushu (Southern Japan) is daily increasing. Practically one half of the 10000 miners engaged in the underground work in 23 mines in Northern Kyushu have left their work. The direct cause is the reduc- tion of wages and the abandonment of the special treatment which was accorded the men during the war, The men are leaving for other places where they can get better renumera- tion and treatment
