GOVT WINS IN
HARDWOOD CASE
Supreme Court Makes De-
cision in Interesting
Matter Today
fRv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE
government today won its suit to
compel members OF the American
Hardwood manufacturers asso-
citation to terminate cooperative
selling methods and agreements
alleged to have been adopted for
the purpose OF eliminating com
petition among themselves and to
maintain and increase prices.
The government in carrying its
case to tho supreme court charg-
ed that the association, consisting
of sos persons and corporations
engaged in the production and
sale OF hardwood. lumber com
bined and conspired to ellmin-
ate competition among themselves
and to enhance their selling prices
and that they did this by Compar-
ing and exchanging under an
open competition plan" the re-
ports and bulletins concerning
prices, stocks and production.
Justice Clarke, in delivering the
decision said 1t was clear from
the evidence that the plan was a
ombination to restrict production
and to increase prices. The call
ing OF the organization an open
competition plan" was merely put
ting an old evil in a new dress.
Justice Brlndeis DECLARED ito
'ije an extra6rdtnary fact" that
the supreme court should alter its
decision in the United States Steel
corporation case, where so per-
cent OF the industry Is controlled
and in the United States Mach
inery case, where nearly all the
shoe machinery OF the country
was controlled, holding them not
in violation Of the Sherman law,
and should hold in the present
case that 365 out of many thous-
and hardwood operators can
not exchange information without
running counter to the provisions
of the Sherman law"
