Supreme Court Upholds Sherman Anti Trust Law as Criminal Statute
Washington reports the Supreme Court has upheld the Sherman Antitrust Act as a criminal statute. The ruling centers on the Harpentine trust case with note that misinstruction by the trial judge affected verdicts but the rule of reason does not render acts indefinable for prosecution. The Minnesotas state rate cases interpret authority over intra state rates and potential confiscation findings. Senate actions on Indian affairs and tariff adjustments are also outlined including anticipated revenue shifts and impacts on various sectors.
