HARVESTER IN
ANSWER TO NEW
PROSECUTION
Now Charged with Lowering
Prices Too Greatly, Com
pany Head Declares

The Harvester company'S attitude
in regard to the petition just filed
against it by the government in the
United States district court at St.
Paul, Mimi, is set forth in state
ment by Alexander Legge, president of
the company, which has been received
by P. II. Fields, branch manager Of
the international Harvester Company
of America in Bismarck. Mr.. 1egge's
statement says:
"This petition is a continuation OF
the suit brought against us eleven
years ago. Upon the hearing Of that
case held more than nine years ago,
the Harvester company was acquit-
ted, both by the findings of the
court and by tn attorney generals
admission, of any wrongful dealings
or unfair practices toward customers
or competitors, but, to insure the full
est competition, decree was entered
in 1918 requiring the company to
sell to competitors certain complete
lines of harvesting machinery, and
to limit its sales representation to
single dealer in any one town.
"That decree further provided that
at the end of test period which
has now expired the government
might ask the court to determine
whether or not the free competition
contemplated by the Sherman law ex-
lists in the farm implement industry.
This step the government has now
taken.s &
"As we understand it., the sole is
sue raised by the present petition re-
lates to competitive conditions with
respect. to harvesting machines only.
It does not charge the company. with
unduiy raising the price of harvest
ing machinery to the grave injury Of
| the American farmer, as was charged
in. 1912, but it does charge that the
cdippany has been unduly depressing
the price Of harvesting machinery,
particularly since 1920, TO the injury
Of it's competitors.
"During the last few years the
whole farm implement industry has
been in an abnormal and distressing
situation which directly reflects thu
situation Of the f4rmer. High costs
Of labor, material and transportation
have burdened it with high manufac.
turing costs. while on the other hand
low prices for agricultural products
have left the farmer unable to buy
his normal and needed require
ments Of farming machinery.
eve are confident that the hearing
on the present petition will clearly
show the Harvester company is not In
any way 4responsible for these con-
ditions in the farm implement indus
try. Prices Of harvesting >Inachinsry
are the result Of vigorous competi.
tion. exaetlv the kind Of competition
which the Sherman law was enacted
to preserve and are fairly compar'
able with the prices Of other imple-
| ments which the government con
cedes were hxed by normal -competi'
tion."

j. OPENS NEW
SUIT AGAINST
HARVESTER CO.
1 Seeks Division of InternatiOn-
al Harvester Company
Into 3 Corporations
NQCOMPETITION, CHARGE
Action Is Started in District
Court at St. Paul by
Acknowledgement

st. Paul, July 1s.-The United
States government, through Attor-
ney-General Harry M. Daugherty,
yesterday filed petition in federal
district court here seeking division
of the international Harvester Com
pany into three separate corpora
tOns.
The government alleges that The
dissolution decree entered against
the company in 1918 did not re-
store competition in the farm indus
try; that the company still is a
monopoly and that the number Of
competitive concerns is shrinking
speedily;
The dissolution petition was pr
sentcd by special representative
of the Attorney Generals office in
Washington, which will handle the
case for the government. Federal
court is not in sessioS h,r, now
and the petition was locked up in n
safe until the return of Federal
Judge J. +. McGee and United States
District Attorney Lafayette French
Jr. from Duluth
Makes Reply
The filing of the petition brought
about a speedy reply from Alexan-
der Lcgge of Chicago. president of
the company Mr.. Leggc's state
mcnt contended that the company
was acquitted of wrongful acts and
unfair competition in 1913.
He said that the petition charges
the company with lowering prices
to the detrimcnt of competitors. not
with raising them to the injury of
the farmer.
H arings on the petition, he said,
will show that farm machinery
prices are the result of sharp COM
) petition in the. industry.
Still Combination
The government will seek new
decree holding that the Harvester
company "still is a combination in
restraint of Interstate trade and
commerce."
Farmers of the company will suf-
fer eff the company's monopolistic
control of farm machinery is allow
ed to continue" the petition recites.
The 1913 decree, according to Mr..
Daugherty, has proved inadequate
to break up the alleged restraint of
trade and production of farm ma
chinery.
THE complaint mentions the fol-
lowing companies as being in COM
bination to restrain trade:
The International Harvester Co.
of American, the International Flax
Twin Co, The WISCONSIN Steel Co.
The Wisconsin Lumber Co, the ILL.,
inois Northern Railway and the Chi
cago, West Pullman and Southern
galway companies and the officers
and directors of all of these.
