BRIEF TO BREAK
MONOPOLY FILED
HARVESTER CASE
Government Contends Canlrsvtrsy It
Fundamental Question; Is, Mali
Competitive System Cwitirwe?
Shall Competition or CMtfabntiM
Be Law of Trade In United States?
WASHINGTON, March 29. Th
government's brief in tho antitrust
suit to dissolve the International Har
vester company was filed today hi
tho supromo court. It Is largely di
rected toward combating the argH
ments advanced In the eompay'a
brief filed in support of lt apepat
after tbo district court of MIimmU
had declared it a comblnatloa to res
traint of trade and ordered ill dis
solution. "If defendant's argument prevail'
says tho government brief, "aad If
the corporate combinations, howerer
comprehensive, do not come within
tho purview of. tho act and only so
far as tboy demonstrably 'abuse' their
power tho Inevitable result wilt be
the renewal of that great rush toward
concentration which proceded with
ever accelerating rapidity until check
ed by tho decision of this court la
the Northern securities ease.
Competition or Mosopely
"If makers of harvesting machin
ery may unite as here, why not mak
ers of every other speclee of machin
ery do likewise?
"Tho anti-trust act the work of
perhaps tho ablest Judiciary commit
tee that ever sat In either braaek eC
congress, Is the deliberate effort of.
conservative, clear thinking bm ta
place some reasonable check upea
tbat liberty ot combination, wale. If
permitted ' to be 'logical "cstremV
V
would In the end Imperil liberty HH.
Tho controversy in this case, there
fore, is fundamental. The question
is shall the competitive system con
tinue shall competition, not combi
nation, be tho law of trade."
Intent Immaterial
The brief says that the defend
ants claim that while the only time
competitors controlled from 80 to
85 per cent ot tho trade In the Unit
ed States In harvesting machines were
combined In substantially the man
ner In which the government con
tends, tho object was not restraint of
trade, but to promote foreign trade
and to establish domestic trade on a
moro economical basis. Upoa these
statements, tho government says, and
upon its good conduct, the "whole
defenso rests."
Tho last contention, that the case
must fall b'ecauio the combination
has not Increased prices or limited
production, or degraded tho quality
of product, decreased production or
the prlco ot raw materials, or oppress
ed competitors, the government de
clares, Is based upon a construction
ot tho anti-trust act which "loses
Ight of Its broador purpose and which
would bo utterly Impracticable la ex
ecution. Retarded Foreign Trade
"It has already been shown, how
ever," continued the brief, that
"where, as bore, the necessary effect
of the combination Is unduly to re
strict competitive conditions the pur
post or lntontton of the parties is Im
material. Therefore, were the good
Intentions claimed in this case con
ceded, it would mako no difference."
Statistics nro given to demonstrate
that tho harvoster company "has re
tarded, rather than accelerated tho
foreign trado in harvesting mach
ines." The government declares that three
companies named by the defendant
us formidable competitors which had
entered tho flold since Its organiza
tion," are practically negligible
f ictora In tho harvesting machine bus
iness In the United States."
