Washington, D. C. — In a four-to-
three decision Monday the supreme
court refused to dissolve the United
States Steel corporation and its sub­
sidiaries comprising the so-called
"steel trust.”
The government’s long-fought suit
for dissolution of the iron and steel
trade combination for alleged violation
of the Sherman anti trust law was dis­
missed, with absolution for the cor­
poration from all charges.
