DEFINES UNLAWFUL
BUSINESS PRACTICE
Highest Court Forbids In
formation Exchange That
Defeats Antitrust Act.

Exchange of information between
business competitors engaged in in
serstate commerce, the Supreme
Court held yesterday, is unlawful
when "the manifest purpose" of the
companies is to defeat the Sherman
antitrust act without subjecting
themselves to its penalties" The
opinion was rendered in case
brought by the federal government
against the American Linseed Oil
Company and others.
The court declined. however. to
say to what extent competitors,
through central bureau or any
other agency, might go in exchang
ing trade Information without vio-
lating the Sherman law.

Explaining that the American Lin
seed Oil Company and other !inseed
oil manufacturers had by contract
arranged to furnish the Armstrong
bureau of related Industries detailed
information concerning their affairs,
the information to be confidentially
circulated among all subscribers.
Justice McReynolds. in delivering the
opinion of the court. stated:
In the absence of a purpose to
monOpoliZe or the compulSion that
results from contract or agreement,
the Individual certainly may exercise
great freedom. but concerted action
through combination presents
wholly different problem and is for
hidden when the necessary tendency
is to destroy the kind of competition
to which the public has long looked
for protection"
Courts Conclusion.
The evidence in the case brought
the court to the conclusion that the
purpose of the arrangement, Justice
McReynolds said, was to submerge
the competition existing among the
subscribers, substitute ''inteIligent
competition" or open competition"
eliminate "unintelligent selfshness"
and establish 100 per cent conf
dence." all to the end. he added. that

John Winston Attacks Order Is
sued Against Him as Violative
of His Rights.

John Winston has filed in the Dis
trict Supreme Court a motion to dis
miss paddock" injunction granted
against him at the request of United
States Attorney Gordon under the
national prohibition act. He attacks
the Injunction as violative of his
rights and asserts that equity has no
jurisdiction to enjoin the commission
of a crime.
Through Attorneys Wilton J. Lam
bert and Rudolph H. Yeatman the de-
fendant points out that the state
ments in the supporting affidavits
to the petition on which the in
junction was granted are not legal
evidence and he is deprived of the
right to be confronted by the wit
nesses which makes unconstitutional
the provision of the prohibition act
allowing the use of affidavits. A
number of other reasons are assigned
why the injunction should be lifted.
