emphasized by the majority wno neiu
it lia.s not oppressed competitors or
dictated prices. That conduct of the
Meel concern parallels the oil and to-
liucon triiRtV was denied by the ma
Jority. which declared the latter had
been found guilty of illegal practices.
while anv illegalities of the steel co
bintinn'K n ization were "tran
sient in their purpose and effect" and
s.nce abandoned. Reference was made
to tho famous "'Gary dinners," at
which 'steel corporation officials met
with competitors to agree on prices.
Sine In Held S OnVnue.
The government, the majority de
cl.ired. was reduced to the solemn
contention that mere size, or bigness,
nf hfi organization "Is an abhorrence
tn the law" L'nused capacity for
monopoly or expression, the court
held, is not punishable. The court's
duty, it was declared, is to punish and
check any actual violations.
In its enunciation of the new appli
cation to be given the Sherman law
regarding public interest in each case,
h rnurt Kairi!
It is clear in its denunciation .of
monopolies and equally clear in its
direction that the courts shall pre
vent and restrain them, but the com
mand is necessarily submissivo to the
conditions wtiich may exist and the
usual powers of a court of equity to
adapt its remedies to those condi
tions. ... '
"We do not mean to say that the
law is not its own measure and that
it cannot he disregarded, but only that
appropriate relief in each instance is
remitted to a court of equity to deter
mine, not to advance a policy con
trary to that of the law. but in sub
mission to the law, and its policy, and
in execution of both."
.Majority Deciaion Contested.
Contesting the majority's interpre
tation of the law. the dissenters de
clared that if changes now are to be
made in its construction or operation,
congress and not courts, should act.
Both the holding corporation and
Its subsidiaries, the dissenting opinion
declared, were organized, "in plain
violation" of the law and, under the
majority decree, are made immune,
"because of some public reasons re
quiring such a conclusion."
The conclusions of Justice McKen
na's opinion were:
"We are unable to see that the pub
lic interest will be served by yielding
to the contention of the government
respecting the dissolution of the com
pany or the separation from it of
some of its subsidiaries; and we do
see in a contrary conclusion, a risk
of Injury to the public interest In
cluding a material disturbance or. and
it may be a serious detriment, to the
foreign trade. And in submission to
the policy of the law, and its fortify
ing prohibitions the public interest is
of paramount regard."
Lower Court Decrees Quoted.
Regarding the corporation's prac
tices. Justice McKenna quoted from
lower court decrees which he said the
majority of he igh court indorses as
follows:
"It resorted to none of the brutali
ties or tyrannies that the cases illus
trate of other combinations. It did
not secure freight rebates: it did not
increase its profits by reducing the
wages of its employes whatever it
did was not at the expense of labor;
It did not increase its profits by
lowering the quality of its products,
nor create an artificial scarcity of
them; it did not oppress op coerce its
competitors its competition, though
vigorous, was fair; it did not under
sell its competitors in some localities
by reducing its prices there below
those maintained elsewhere, or re
quiring its customers to enter into
contracts limiting their purchases or
restricting them in resale prices; it
did not obtain customers by secret re
bates or departures from its pub
lished prices: there was no evidence
that it attempted to crush its com
petitors or drive them out of the mar
ket," nor did it take customers from
its competitors ly unfair means, and
In its competition it seemed to make
no difference between large and small
competitors. Indeed, it is said that
'instead of relying upon its own
power to fix and maintain prices, the
corporation, at its very beginning,
sought and obtained the assistance of
others.' "
l,onrr Court la Vpbeld.
Justice McKenna observed that the
lower federal court was unanimous
in the opinion that no monopoly was
achieved.
"And such is our deduction." he
said, "and it is against monopoly that
the statute Is directed, not against an
expectation of it, but against its real
ization, and it is certain it was not
realized. The power attained was
much greater than that possessed by
any competitor it was not greater
Hian that possessed by all. Monop
oly, therefore, was not achieved, and
competitors had to be persuaded by
pools, associations, trade meetings
and through the social form of din
ners, all of them, it may be violations
of the law. but transient In their pur
pose and effect. They were scat
tered from 1901 (the year of the for
mation of the corporation) until-1911,
but. after instances of success and
failure, were abandoned nine months
before this suit was brought. There
is no evidence the abandonment was
in prophesy of or dread of suit; and
the allegal practices have not been
resumed, nor is there any evidence
of an intention to resume them and
certainly no dangerous probability"
of their resumption. It is our con
clusion, therefore, as it was that of
the judges below, that the practices
were abandoned from a conviction of
their futility, from operation of forces
not understood or were underesti
mated and the case Is not peculiar.
Roosevelt's Approval Recalled.
"What, then, can now be urged
against the corporations? Can com
parisons tn other regards be made
with Its competitors and by such com
parisons guilty or Innocent existence
be assigned it? It is greater in size
and productive power than any com
petitors, equal or nearly equal to
them all, but Its power over prices
was not and is not commensurate
with its power to produce.
"It is true there Is some testimony
tending to show that the corporation
had such power, but there was also
testimony and a course of action
tending strongly to the contrary."
Regarding acquisition of the Ten
nesse Coal & Iron company, Justice
McKenna said: "It was submitted to
president Roosevelt and he gave it
kis approval. His approval did not
fiake it legal, but it gave assurance
f Its legality, as we know he would
fcave approved of nothing that had
ven a tendency to Us detriment. And
seems like an extreme accusation to
say that the corporation which re
lieved it was urged by unworthy mo
tives. In. the development, of course,
there would be profit to the corpora
tion, but there would be profit to the
world. For this reason President
Roosevelt sanctioned the purchase, and
it would seem a distempered view of
purchase and result to regard tbem
as violations of the law.
. "From this digression we return to
the consideration of the conduct of
the corporation to Its competitors.
Besides circumstances which we have
mentioned. there are others of
strength. The company's officers and
its competitors and customers testi
fied that its competition was genuine,
direct and various and was reflected
in prices and production. Its conten
tion is based on the asserted s.ze and
dominance of the corporation alleged
power for evil, not exertion of the
power of evil. Competitors, it is said,
followed the corporation's prices be
cause they made money. Indeed the
imitation is urged as an evidence of
the corporation's power.
"Compeitors. dealers and customers
testify that no adventitious interfer
ence was employed either to fix or
maintain prices and that they were
constant or varied, according to nat
ural conditions. Can this testimony
be minimized or dismissed by infer
ring that, as intimated, it Is an evi
dence of power not of weakness and
power extended not only to suppress
competition, but to compel testi- i
mon? The situation is Indeed sin
gular and we may wonder at it, won
der that the despotism of the corpor
ation so baneful to the world in the
representation of the government did
not produce protesting victims.
Other Fnradoxes Found.
"But there are other paradoxes. The
government does not hesitate to pre
sent contradictions. In one, compel!
tors (the independents) are represent
ed as oppressed by the superior power
of the corporations: in the other they
are represented as ascending to opu
lence by imitating that power's prices.
"The suggestion that lurks in the
government's contention that the ac
ceptance of the corporation's prices
is submission of impotence to irre
sistible power is, in view of the testi
mony of the competitors untenable.
'They deny restraint in any roeas-
ure or illegal influence of any kind.
The government, therefore, is re
duced to the assertion that the size
of the corporation, the power it may
have not exertion of the power, is
an abhorrence to toe law. 10 as
ent to that, to what extremes would
be led? Competition consists of bus!
ness activity and ability they make
its life; but they may be fatalities
in it. Are activities to be encouraged
when militant, and suppressed or
egulated when triumphant because
of the dominance attained? To sucn
paternalism the government a con
tention, which regards power rather
than its use the determining consid
eration, seems to conduct. It seems
to us that it has for its ultimate prin
ciple and justification that strength
in any producer or seller is a menace
to the public Interest and illegal be
cause there is potency in It for mis
chief." Combine Formed In 1901.
"The corporation was- formed in
1301, but no act of aggression upon
its comnetitors is charged against It
although It confederated with them
ai times, an offense against the law,
lut abandoned that before his suit
was brought, and since 191' no act in
violation of law can be established
against it except its existence be such
an act. This is urged, as we have
scon.nd that the interest of the pub
lic is involved, and that such interest
is paramount to corporation or com
petitors. Granted though it is diffi
cult to set how there can be restraint
of trade when there Is no restraint of
competitors nor complaints by cus
tomers how can it be worked out of
the situation and through what prop
osition cf law? Of course. It calls
for nothir..? other than a right appli
cation of the law, and to repeat what
we have said, thnll we declare the
law to ba that sixi- is an offense even
though it minds its own business, be
cause what it does Is imitated? We
must adhere to the law and the law
does not make mere size an offense
or exist-jnea of tmexertcd rower an
offense. It requires overt acts and
trusts to its prohibition of the man
and its power to repress or punish
them. It does not compel competi
tion nor require all that is possible.
"The steel corporation united under
one control competing companies and
thus, it is urgfi. a condition was
brought about in violation of the
statute, and therefore, illegal, and be
came a continually operating force
with the possession of power unlaw
fully obtained."
Dissenting Opinion Given.
The dissenting opinion of Justice
Day, concurred in by Justices Pitney
and Clark, declared:
"This record seems to leave no
fair room for a doubt that the de
fendants, the United States Steel cor
poration and the several subsidiary
corporations, which make up that or-,
ganization, were formed in violation
of the Sherman act. I am unable to
accept the conclusion which directs
a dismissal of the bill instead of
following the well settled practice
requiring the dissolution of combi
nations made . in direct violation of
the .law. ,
"I agree with the conclusions of
Judges Wooley and Hunt, expressed
in the court below, that the combi
nation were not submissions to busi
ness conditions, but were designed to
control them for illegal purposes, re
gardless of consequences.
"Those judges found that the con
stituent companies of the steel cor
poration, nine in number, were them
selves combinations of steel manu
facturers nd the effect of the or
ganization of these combinations was
to give a control over the industry
at least equal to that theretofore pos
sessed by the constituent companies
and their subsidiaries.
Law Violation Charged.
"It inevitably follows that the cor
poration violated the law in its for
mation and by its immediate prac
tices. The power thus obtained from
the combination of resources almost
unlimited In the aggregation of com
peting organizations, had within its
control the domination of the trade,
and the ability to fix prices and re
strain the free flow of . commerce
upon a scale heretofore unapproached
in the history of corporate organiza
tion in this country.
"These facts established, as.it seems
to me they are by the record, it fol
lows that if the Sherman act is to be
given efficiency, there must be a de
cree undoing so far as is possible that
which has been achieved in open, no
torious and continued violation of its
provisions."
Justice Day said the Sherman law
had been a law for 30 years and if
changes were to be made now in its
construction or operation, the exer
tion of such, authority rested with
congress and not with the courts.
Standard Oil Case Cited.
Citing the Standard Oil case. Justice
Day said that combination was "cer
tainly not more obnoxious to the
Sherman aot than the court now finds
the one under consideration to b."

HOUSE PASSES MEASURE
Captain A. II. Connor, Sand Point,
Idabo, Candidate for Senate,
Landed by Division Chief.
OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU,
Washington. March 1. Bills grant
ing permits for the construction of
highway bridges across the Colum
bia river in Washington and the Nes
tucca riven in Oregon, were passed
by the house this afternoon. The
Columbia river permit goes to Charles
H. Huber 0f Seattle for the construc
tion of a Tridge between Pasco and
Kennewick, and the fcestucea river
bill to F. R. Beals for a bridge in
Tillamook county, Oregon.
When the bills came up Represen
tative Mann of Illinois said that
hereafter his intention was to ob
ject to all bills granting bridge build
ing permits to Individuals, because
he believed there was danger of per
mitting promoters to traffic in fran
chises. Representative Summers of
Washington-explained that before he
introduced the bill for . the Pasco-
Kennewick bridge he ascertained that
the counties 6f Franklin and Benton,
In Washington, had already granted
franchises. -
Hawlry- Racks Vp Meamire.
Representative Hawley of Oregon,
sponsor for the Nestucca river bill,
vindicated his measure in brief re
marks. Representative Mann, it was
learned, was decided in his course by
the recent discovery that many of the
individuals who have been seeking
bridge permits from congress are in
terested in bridge construction com
panies. Charles E.' Huber, who ob
tains the Columbia river permit, it
was brought out in testimony before
the house interstate and foreign com
merce committee, is connected with
a large bridge building concern in
Seattle.

This rises to plague the board, in

affords the film people an excuse for

this feature.
One feature of the present ordi

Its provisions to be scrutinized by
any one concerned and, should It be
deemed wise, a public hearing on the
subject will be urged by him at some
near future date.
Suggestions will be welcomed by
the mayor from any one wishing to
submit them and serious considera

that the old ordinance is to be
abolished, to have all features of the
new one as nearly adequate as pos

possible to get It.
Volunteer Viewers Employed.
One thing which has always been
bothersome Is the manne of viewing
films under the present ordinance and
Mayor Baker intends to investigate
this, with a view to remedying it, if
possible. Only volunteer viewers are
now employed and there is no specific
system by which their work is done.
It Is largely a matter of judgment
and one viewer may object to a film
which another would see no harm in
a; all.
There is a possibility that the
mayor will endeavor to work out
system whereby there will be a cen
tral viewing place or some plan that
may be louna leasioi.e, wnere paid
viewers will . be on hand to handle
films. 1 This, it is pointed out, would

There are many women who have
been invalids or semi-invalids so long
that they accept their condition as a
life burden. They have endured
broken sleep, stomach trouble, nerv
ousness, headaches and weakness so
long that they have given up hope of
enjoying good health. In many cases
the illness began in childhood or early
womanhood. It js these women, espe
cially, to whom the story of Mrs. A.
Forest of No. 2604 West Third street,
Duluth, Minn.jswill prove most inter
esting and profitable. .
"I suffered from convulsions a great
deal when I was a child," relates Mrs.
Forest, "and I was in delicate health
for years. Some remedies seemed to
help me for a time, but the results
were not lasting. My blood was very
thin and my nervous system became
shattered. I was as white as a sheet
and kept getting worse. I lost a great
deal of weight. What little I ate did
not help me and I bad to force my
self to swallow enough to keep me
alive. I didn't know what a good
night's sleep was and felt tired out
when morning came. I also suffered
from headaches and fainting spells.
"A friend of mine, a druggist, rec
ommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
and I procured a box, though with
very little hope of obtaining any
benefit. I was overjoyed to find. In a
short time, that the remedy was provi
lng a very positive benefit. Its first
effect was to improve my appetite.
Soon I was able to sleep well and rose
feeling stronger. Then my strength
began to come baok and my color be
came better. I continued taking the
pills until my nerves were strong and
the tendency to.aheada.ches and faint
ing spells had disappeared. I can
strongly recommend Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills not only from my own ex
perience but from that of my mother,
who has taken the pills on my advice
and has been benefited. I have also
given them to my daughter, as a
tonic." -
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up,
the blood and strengthen the nerves.
In this way the general health is im
proved, the appetite increases, the di
gestion is restored and new ambition
and energy developed. Work becomes
easier because it does not cause ex
haustion. Keep your system at Its highest
efficiency with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, the great blood "builder and
nerve tonic Your own druggist can
supply you at 60 cents per box. A
