HARVESTER TRST AGANSUEDB .S, Attorney GeneralgPlea Asks Company Be Divided Into ° Three Units. . By the Associated Prese, ST. PAUL, Minn, July 18—The United States government, through Attorney General Harry M. Daugher- ty, yesterday filed a petition in fed- eral district court here secking divi- sion of the International Harvester Company into three separate cOrpo- rations. ~ 4 The govérfiment alleges that the dissolution _decres entered against the company-in 1818 did not restore competition *in the farm Implement ipdustry; that the cempany still is a monopoly and that the number of competitive conecerns is steadily. The dissolution petition was pre sented by a special representative of * the Attorney General'soffice in Wash- ington, which will handle the case for the government. A Awaits Judge's Return. Federal court is not in session here now and the petition was locked up in @ safe until the return of Federal Judge J. F. McGee and United States District Aftorney Lafayette French, 3r., from Duluth. . The filing of the petition brought about a speedy reply irom Alexander Legge Chicago, president of the company. Mr. I statement con- tended that the company WAS ac- quitted of wrongful acts and unfair competition in 1918. He said that the petition charges the company with Jowering prices to the detriment of competitors, not with raising them to the injury of the farmers. Hearings on the petition, he said, will show that farm _machinery prices are the result of sharp com- petition in the industry. The government will seek a new de- cree, holding that the Harvester Company still is “a combination in re- straint of interstate trade and comp merce.” Says Farmers Suffer. Farmers of the country 1 the company’s “monopolistic con- troy” of farm machinery llowed to continue, the petition recites. The 1918 degree, according to Mr. Daugh- herty, has proved ‘inadequate” to break up the alleged restraint of trade and restore competition in the production of farm machinery.

The petition filed in St. Paul yes- terday declared that a reasonable “test period” nas been given the International Harvester Company since the- close of the world war, as provided in the original de- . to rearrange 1its orwanization of the public. That passed, it was added, “the United States now has the right ich further rellef as may be to restore competitive con- The number of independent manu- facturers, it was declared, steadily is shrinking because of their inabil- ity to compete with the International. In 1918, it was asserted, the Inter- national produced but 64 per cent of the harvesting implements manufac- tured, while durinz 1922 the per- centage was §6. It was added that sale of the Oshorne and Champion companies has had no beneficial ef- fect on _competition, since the amount of machinery marketed by those concerns has decreased. The situation in which the manu- facturers of farm implements find themselves, a statement issued in Chlcago by the company says, is due o the business depression that start- ed in 1920, . “During the last few years,” the statement said, “the whole farm im- plement industry has been in an ab- normal and distressing situation which directly reflects the situation of the farmer. High costs of labor, material and’ transportation have burdened it with high manufacturing costs, while on the other hand low prices for agricultural products have left the farmer unable to buy his normal and needed requirements of farming machinery.” shrinking | 1 THE EVENING EEMININE SYMPATHY AN ASSET, WOMAN BANK OFFICER SAYS By the Asscciated Pross.

Asked 1t she did not think women aren't a trifle too sympathetic, Mrs. Hearin replied: “The very thing we need is more sympathy.
