Federal decision upholds antitrust ruling against American Tobacco Company

They reject a receivership as impractical and delay injunctions for subsidiary firms pending further appeal, naming Imperial Tobacco and British American as co-defendants. The suit, filed July 10, 1907, targets 59 affiliates and traces Britain’s Imperial Tobacco influence in global trade.
