AGREES T0 I]ISSHLVE Verdiot Declaring It a Trust Be Carried Into Effect Washington, Aug. 5.—Under an agreement between the government | and the International Harvester pany, federal court dec the so-calied Harveste lawful combination @nd dissolution are to he cari into ef- | fect at once. The company's appeal pending in the supreme court since | 1915, is to be dismissed and an or- | der issued providing for the sale of | § certain machinery lines controlied by | the company, together with its plants | Springfield, Ohio, and Auburn, N. The terms of the agreement wer le public last night by the de- | rtment of stic The Harvester suit was instituted in Minnasota in 1912 by the govern- ment, which, for the frst time in the prosecution of alleged combinations | in restraint of trade, asked for the solution of a combination on tr grounds mainly of size and inherent | f power. The case is the first of the more important anti-trust ]H‘()(‘(‘v"ll-‘ ings pending in the supreme court to be disposed of in this manner since th cou P, entered the war. cause of the country’s financial condition, due-to the¢ war, the gov- ernment is inclined to be lenient with the c v and will give it until one - after peace has been declared to out the terms of | the agreement. Should this not be done by that time, however, the prop- erty will be sold at auction. The Official Statement. “The department of justice is ad- vised,” said a statement issued last night, “that at the ensuing term of the supreme court the International Harvester company will dismiss its appeal from the decree of the district court adjudging it a combination in restraint of trade and ordering its dis- solution. The effect would be to leave the decrce of the district court as the final decree in the case. “The parties will then join in ask- ing the district court to enter an or der to carry the decree into effect, providing substantially as follows (a). The Harvester compar to dispose of the harvesting machinery lines known under the trade names of ‘Osborne,’ ‘Milwaukee,’ and ‘Cham- pion’ the trade names themselves, and all patterns, drawings blue prints, dies, jigs, and other machines and equipment used in the manufacture of these lines, to sponsible and independent manufacturér or manu- facturers of agricultural implements. “b) The Harvester company also to dispose of the plants and works at Springfield, Ohio, and Auburn, N. Y., where the Champion and Osborne lines of harvesting machines are manufactured (c) If not otherwise disposed of within one yvear after the close of the existing war the before-mentioned lines of harvesting machinery, etc., to be sold at public auction to' the high- est bidder. “(d) The Harvester company to be prohibited after Dec. 31, 1919, from having more than one representative or agent in any city or town in the United States for the sale of har- vesting machines or other agricultur- al implements. “(e) If at 4he %xpiration of eightecen months after the close of the existing war the foregoing meas- ures have not proved adequate in the opinion of the government to restore competitive conditions in trade and commerce in harvesting machines and other agricultural implements, and to bring about a situation im | harmony with law, the government to have the right to such further re- lief in the present case as may be necessary to that end “This case presented the most fund- amental issue which has arisen under the Sherman act since its constitu- tionality was determined. The issue is this: The government contended that combinations of competitive units on a scale large enougsh to make the resulting restriction of" competition direct and substantial are unlawful without more, on the theory that it was not the policy of the Sherman act to wait until 'the evils of undue concentration of com- mercial power have already come’ to pass, but rather to ke at once at undue concentration of commercial power itself. The defendants con- tended on the one hand that such combinations are not unlawful, un- less the government goes further and | shows in each particular case that the combination has wrongfuliy used its power as, for example, by unduly enhancing prices, by unduly limiting the quantity or lowering the quality of product, by unduly lowering wa etc.—in other words, that monopolis- tic combinations are not unlawful so long as they use their power bencvo- lently “The effect of the present action is to sustain the contention of the gov- ernment on which the decree of the court below was based.” L.
