MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT (Continued from page 2) its products of cigars, cigarettes and snuffs. The tobacco suit presented a far more complicated and difficult case than the Standard Oil suit for a decree which would effectuate the will of the court and end the violation of the stat- ute. There was here no single hold- ing company, as in the case of the Standard Oil trust. The main company was the American Tobacco company. a manufacturing, selling and holding company. The plan adopted to de- stroy the combination and restore com- petition involved the redivision of the ; capital and plants of the whole trust between some of the companies con stituting the trust and new companies organized for the purposes of the de- cree and@ made parties to it and num bering, new and old, fourteen. Situation After Readjustment. The American Tobacco company (0ld), readjusted capital $92.000.000: the Liggett & Meyers Tobacco company (new), capital $67.000.000; the P. Loril lard company (new), capital $47.000. 000. and the, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco company (old), capital $7,525.000, are chiefly engaged in the manufactyfe and sale of chewing and smoking to bacco and cigars. The former one tin foil company is divided into two, one of $825.000 capital and the other of $400.000. The one snuff company is divided into three companies. one with a capital of $15,000,000. another with a capital of $8,000.000 and a third with a capital of $8.000.000. The licorice companies are two, one with a capital of $5.758.300 and another with a capi- tal of $2,000.000. There is also the British-American Tobacco company. a British corporation. doing business abroad with a capital of $26,000,000. the Porto Rican Tobacco company. with a capital of $1,800.000, and the corporation of United Cigar Stores. with a capital of $9.000.000. Under this arrangement each of the different kinds of business will be dis tributed between two or more compa nies with a division of the prominent brands in the same tobacco products. so as to make competition not ounly possible, but necessary. Thus the smoking tobacco business of the coun xy is divided so that the present in dependent companies have 21.39 per cent, while the American Tobacco com- pany will have 33.08 per cent, the Lig- gett & Meyers 20.05 per cent, the Loril- lard company. 22.82 per cent and the | Reynolds company 2.66 per cent. Ti®: stock of the other thirteen companies, | both preferred and common, has been taken from the defendant American | Tobacco company and has been dis- tributed among its stockholders. All eovenants restricting competition have been declared null and further per- formance of them has been enjoined. The preferred stock of the different companies has now been given voting power which was denied it under the old organization. The ratio of the pre- ferred stock to the common was as 78 to 40. This constitutes a very decided change in the character of the owner- ship and control of each company. In the original suit there were twen- ty-nine defendants, who were charged with being the conspirators through whom the illegal combination acquired and exercised its unlawful dominion. Under the decree these defendants will hold amounts of stock in the various distributee companies ranging from 41 per cent as a maximum to 28l per cent as a minimum, except in the case of one small company, the.Porto Rican Tobacco company, in which they will ————. S | dividual defendants are enjoined for hold 45 per cent. The twenty-nine in- three years from buying any stock ex- cept from each other, and the group is thus prevented from extending its con- trol during that period. All parties to the suit and the new companies who are made parties are enjoined perpet- ually from in any way effecting any combination between any of the com- panies in violation of the statute by | way of resumption of the old trust. Each of the fourteen companies is en- Jjoined from acquiring stock in any of the others. All these comipanies are enjoined from having common direc- tors or officers, or common buying or selling agents., or common offices, or lending money to each other. Size of New Companies, Objection was made by certain in- dependent tobacco companies that this settlement was unjust because it left companies with very large capital in active business and that the settle- ment that would be effective to put all on an equality would be a division ot the capital and plant of the trust into small fractions in amount more near- ly equal to that of each of the inde- pendent companies. This contention results from a misunderstanding of the anti-trust law and its purpose. It is not intended thereby to prevent the accumulation of large capital in busi- ness enterprises in which such a com- bination can secure reduced cost of | production, sale and distribution. It is directed against such an aggrega- tion of capital only when its purpose is that of stifling competition, enhane- ing or controlling prices and establish- ing a monopoly. If we shall have by the decree defeated these purposes and restored competition between the ' large units into which the capital and plant have been divided we shall have accomplished the useful purpose of the statute. Confiscation Not the Purpose of the Statute. It is not the purpose of the statute | to confiscate the property and capital of the offending trusts. Methods of punishment by fine or imprisonment of the individual offenders. by fine of the corporation or by forfeiture of its goods in transportation are provided. but the proceeding in equity is a spe- cific remedy to stop the operation of | the trust by injunction and prevent the future use of the plant and capital in violation of the statute. Effectiveness of Decree. I venture to say that not in the his- tory of American law has a decree more effective for such a purpose been entered by a court than that against the tobacco trust. As Circuit Judge Noyes said in his judement approving the decree: “The extent to which it has been necessary to tear apart this combina- tion and force it into new forms with the attendant burdens ought to demon- strate that the federal anti-trust statute is a drastic statute which accomplishes effective results, which so long as it stands on the statute books must be | { obeyed and which cannot be disobey- ed without incurring farreaching pen- alties. And, on the other hand, the successful reconstruction of this or- ganization should teach that the effect of enforcing this statute is not to de- | stroy, but to reconstruct: not to de- molish, but to recreate In accordance | with the conditions which the congress has declared shall exist among the people of the United States.” Common Stock Ownership. It has been assumed that the pres- ent pro rata and common ownership in all .these companies by former stock: ; iholders of the trust would insure £ | (Continued on Page 7) B i GIVES QUICK ACTION. | E.
