Judge Gibson extends restraining order in Aluminum case
Federal Judge R M Gibson ruled to continue the temporary restraining order for 10 days, delaying the government's anti trust suit against Aluminum Company of America. Assistant Attorney General Robert H Jackson argued the New York suit is not identical to the 1912 Pittsburgh case and that the government cannot be restrained without its consent. Attorney William Watson Smith claimed the consent decree ended the 1912 action and would be violated if the New York suit proceeded, risking contempt of court.
