Court Rules United States Steel Not Violating Law
The U S district court of New Jersey unanimously refused the government’s petition to dissolve United States Steel Corporation. It found no Sherman Act violation in its trade, but ruled that 95 percent of the steel industry meetings, including the Gary dinners, were unlawful price controls though the actions ceased before the 1911 complaint. The court noted possible FTC jurisdiction if repeated, and retained jurisdiction on motion for that purpose.
