BY THE U.S. SUPREME COURT Great Railway Merger Is Declared in Violation of the Anti Trust Laws. Washington, March 14. The opin ion of the Supreme Court of the United States In the case of the Northern Securities Company vs. the United States, Involving the merger of the Northern Pacific and the Great North ern Companies, was handed down to day, and was in favor of the 'Govern ment. The opinion was read by Justice Harlan. The opinion of the Circuit Court for the District of Minnesota was atllrmed. The elTect Is to sustain the contention that the Sherman ati-trust law applies to railroad combination of the character in question. Justice Harlan said that In the merger of the two roads the stockhold ers disappeared and reappeared In the securities company, the two thus be coming practically consolidated in a holding company, the principal objout being to prevent competition. "No scheme or device could certainly more effectively come with the prohi bition of the anti-trust, law and it is within the meaning of the act a trust," he said. The merger decision as rendered by Justice Harlan was concurred in by Justices Brown, Brewer, McKenna, and Day, while the Chief Justice and Justices White, Peck ham and Holmes dissented. Justice Brewer in concur ring did so for different reasons from the majority, however. "In our opinion," says Harlan, "the evidence fully sustains the charge that the defendants were properly accused of monopolizing, or attempting to mo nopolize, trade between states. The Northern securities was organized as a holding corporation, or custodian, of more than nine-tenth of the stock of the Northern Pacific K. It. Co., and three-quarters of the Great Northern. Both lines were held as if by one owner ship. Tho holding company dominated the roads for the exclusive benefit of the stock -holders. It became ono powerful corKration, so that competi tion botween the constituent companies might close. The profits wero to be distributed on the basis ofBtock hold by the Northern Securities. The com bination Is one in the shape of a trust No scheme or device could more thor oughly be a combination in the form of a trust in restraint of trade." Tho contentions of the defendants that an opinion in its favor would not be contrary to the spirit of the anti trust law is negative of the decision In the Joint Trail Ic Association and trans Missouri cases, the Addislon Pipe Com pany and others were quoted to sustain the government's position. Wbit Time Prom. This thing of being sick and looking for a cure is a mighty serious business. People are not given to joking even at the first symtoms of tho approach of the grim destroyer.
