Smaller trusts benefit as antitrust rulings loom
Washington May 17. The government faces challenges in prosecutions of major trusts including steel and coal as new rulings test what constitutes an unreasonable restraint of trade. Prosecutions against smaller trusts may be dropped while the beef trust case hinges on the unreasonable restraint issue. Henry George Jr denounces the Supreme Court standard, comparing it to the Dred Scott decision and accusing the court of legislating from the bench. Three Senate bills seek to tighten Sherman Act applicability, but changes are expected to wait until next session.
