Injunction Against Steel Trust Refused
A New Jersey federal judge panel denied the government’s request to restrain United States Steel Corp and most subsidiaries from destroying papers that could help in the antitrust dissolution case. The ruling notes no evidence of intent to destroy but holds destruction occurred, warranting continuation of restraint only for American Steel and Wire.
Wire case documents destroyed after suit filed noted
George Craigin of American Steel and Wire testified that documents in the wire product cases were destroyed sometime in November after being in the federal grand jury and returned to company officials. The destruction is seen as proof the papers were destroyed after the government suit began. The Trenton decision on injunctions will not affect the ongoing case.
