U S Steel Not a Trust Says Court Ruling in Suit
In Trenton a unanimous federal court decision upholds United States Steel Corporation, ruling it should not be dissolved under the Sherman Act. The court finds no monopoly or unfair restraint of trade in the steel business, notes growth since formation, and preserves government oversight with retained jurisdiction but no injunction. The Gary dinners are mildly criticized as a policy misstep. The Tennessee Coal and Iron purchase is virtually justified, with competition seen as robust and open to rivals. The case clarifies that only unlawful combinations unduly restricting trade are prohibited, and foreign trade and price fixing cited in the record are not found to violate the act.
