cuss these points.
Supreme Court Most Sympathetic.
Montague spoke frankly. He said
Never in the history of the anti
trust laws has their Interpretation
by the supreme court and their ad-
ministratiOn by the government
been so sympathetic as now to the
present and future needs of Ameri-
can business.
Business men are only just be-
ginning to realize what variety of
new and effective methods for sta
bilizing business at home and for
extending business abroad have be-
come available in consequence of re-
cent decisions and rulings by the
supreme court, the Department of
Justice and the Federal Trade Com
mission.
More and Bigger Consultations.
More and bigger consultations
among producers, manufacturers
and distributors, under proper con-
ditions and with adequate legal
safeguards, are permitted and in
deed invited by the present attitude
of the court and the government.
By avoiding unlawful acquisitions
of capital stock, and by taking care
to leave outside enough competitors
to insure effective outside COMPETE
ton, such consultations can now be
set up in many industries in entire
conformity to the law. More and
bigger consultations may soon be
expected in a number of industries
that are now the worst sufferers
from these conditions"
Reversal of Attitude.
This is a reversal Of the past atti
tude of the Mining Congress, which
always clamored for repeal of the
antitrust law. Now the anti-trus
law is used effectively as a basis fol
injunctions which paralyze the United
Mine Workers in their fight to main
tain regular employment and living
wage in the coal industry. The same
law is used by the courts, the Depart
ment of Justice and the Coolidge
packed Federal Trade Commission t.
permit any combinations of capita
that will help the operators.
