the price of gasoline, and had the
power to raise and control prices,
the restraint of trade was as q mat
ter of law unreasonable and, there
fore, unlawful.
The Government said that when a
combination is formed for the pur-
pose of controlling the price Of a
product and has the power to make
the price control effective, the char
acter OF the restraint is unlawful.
Distinctions Not Material.
Justice Douglas said it was not
deemed that the distinction sought
to be drawn in this case by the oil
companies is material.
I'm the first place" the court said,
there was abundant evidence that
the combination had the purpose to
raise prices and likewise there was
ample evidence that the buying pro-
grams at least contributed to the
price rise and stability of the spot
markets, and to increases in the
price of gasoline sold in the Mid
western area during the indictment
period.
so far as cause and effect are
concerned it Is sufficient in this type
of case, If the buying programs of
the combination resulted in a price
rise and markets stability, which
but for them might not have hap
pened. = Proof that there was
a conspiracy, that its purpose was
to raise prices and that it caused
or contributed to a price rise is proof
OF the actual consummation or
execution of conspiracy under Sec
ton of the Sherman Act.
'"The elimination of so-called COM
petitive evils is no legal justification
for such buying programs. The
elimination of such conditions was
sought primarily for its effect on
the price structures. Fairer COM
petitive prices. it is claimed, resulted
when distress gasoline was removed
from the market. But such defense
is typical of the protestations usually
made in prlce-flxlng cases.
Framers' Intent Cited.
"Ruinous competition, financial dis
asters, evils Of price-cutting and the
like appear throughout our history
as ostensible justifications for price,
fixing. If the so-called competitive
abuses were to be appraised here,
the reasonableness of prices would
necessarily become an issue in every
price fixing case. In that event. the
Sherman Act would soon be emas-
culated, its philosophy would be sup
planted by one which Is wholly
alien to system of free competition.
1t would not be the charter of free
dom which its trainers intended.
The reasonableness of prices has
no constancy due to the dynamic
quality of the business facts UNDER
lining price structures. Those who
fixed reasonable prices would per-
petuate unreasonable prices tomor-
row since those prices would not be
subject to continual administrative
supervision and readjustment in
light of changed conditions. Those
who control the prices would control
or effectively dominate the market.
And those who were in that stra-
tegic position would have it in their
power to destroy or drastically i'm
pair the competitive system. But
the thrust of the rule is deeper and
reaches more than monopoly power.
Any combination which tampers

Metropolitan Construction Logs Behind
Year Ago in Both March and Quarter
Home Building Rises
Slightly Ahead Of
Preceding Month
By DONALD b. HADLEY.

Public and private construction
in the Washington Metropolitan
Area for March declined to $685.
GOT, compared with $40, ,739, ,713 in the
preceding month, and was well be-
low $8,440,691 recorded in March,
1899, the Labor Department reported
last night.
All of the decline from February
levels was registered by non-resi-
dental activity and additions, alter
ations and repairs. March residen-
tial building was valued at $4, ,758, ,149,
slightly ahead of $4,729,557 In the
preceding month, but far behind
$6,643 100 in the same 1899 month.
Accommodations were provided
for 1,070 families in the latest
month, compared with 1,242 in the
preceding month and 1881 in March,
1899.
Non-residential activity In March
was valued at $765,417, against
$5,419,752 in the preceding month
and $l,l14,430 a year ago. Addi-
tions, alterations and repairs totaled
$376,04l, against $500, ,404 in the pre-
vious month and $6S3,16l a year
ago.
Total construction, residential
building and the number OF families
provided for in March of various
years follow:
Evening star., 1940-04-21
(Totoi ond Residential Activity BY Mon,h)

District Of Columbia for the first
quarter was greater than for the
adjoining sections combined, the
value of residential building was
greater outside the Districts limits.
Slightly more families were pro-
vided for in the District.
An Amazing Record.
Although accounting for only
about half Of the metropolitan home
building, the District by itself has
made an amazing record in resi-
dental construction compared with
other cities of similar size.
From the start Of 1896 through
the first 1910 month, District home
building provides for 22,509 families.
Family totals for other cities in the
same period: 6,578 in Boston, 3,242
in Buffalo, 1903 in Pittsburgh, 8,537
in Cincinnati, 4,049 in Milwaukee,
4,453 in Minneapolis, 1912 in Balti-
more, 5,821 in New Orleans and
IL 500 in San Francisco.
In January this year, the con-
trast continued with District of Co.
lumbia providing for 300 families
against 13 in Boston. 8 in Buffalo, %
in Pittsburgh, Al in Cincinnati, % In
Milwaukee, A in Minneapolis, So in
Baltimore, 924 in New Orleans ana
299 In San Francisco.
Real Estate Activity Up.
Real estate activity in the first
quarter showed increases over the
same 1899 period, while foreclosures
registered a decline, according to
a report from Charles Rush, secre-
tary of the Washington Real Estate
Board.
Deeds of trust in the quarter to-
tailed 3,038 with a valuation Of $2l.-
602 $50, compared with 1894 and
SIC, ,470, 1854 year ago. The number
was the highest since 1929 and the
valuation was the highest since 1881.
Foreclosures in the quarter totaled
SO, against 81 in the 1899 period and
eQualled the low mark of the same
1897 months.
Deeds totaling 1852 were ahead Of
2,781 in the opening 1899 quarter,
but failed to equal the same periods
OF 1896, 1887 or 1898. However, they
were close to their 1929 mark.
March Totals Lag.
March by itself failed to make as
favorable a showing. Deeds were
at their lowest mark for that month
since 1885. They were one ahead Of
the 1929 month.
Foreclosures stood at the lowest
level for March on record.
Both the number and valuation
Of deeds of trust were at their low
marks for the month since 1886.

Copper Sme|ters Shade
Prices During Week
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 20.-Custom
smelters and the outside market
shaded the price Of copper 1s cent
to 11ss cents pound this week de-
spite increasing evidence supplies
for prompt and nearby shipment
were tight.
The smelted quotation compared
with liz cents adhered to by pri-
mary producers of the red metal.
Metal dealers said a rush of buy
ing by foreign interests in the past
few weeks, with most orders written
for delivery within 60 days, had
taken care of most available metal.
A substantial share of the weeks
export business, which totaled
around 10000 tons, according to
trade estimates, will be filled with
copper of domestic origin.
The bargain metal offered by
smelters and the outside market,
in the opinion Of many observers,
was limited In quantity. The lower
price was named apparently in or
der to spur laggard domestic de-
mand.
Inquiry for lead and zinc slack
ened after the exceptional tonnage
purchases in the previous week.
Lead closed at 5.l0-5.15 cents a
pound, New York, and zinc, SIS
cents, East st. Louis.
