Dissolution of Smelting Trust Considered by Officials
After months of quiet inquiry the department believes there are sufficient grounds under the Sherman act to dissolve the American Smelting and Refining company and its Securities subsidiary. A bill in equity is being drafted though immediate filing is unlikely. The case ranks with Standard Oil and U.S. Steel for importance, given the trusts’ vast capital and global operations including smelters, refineries, mines in Mexico, and related transportation and metal businesses.
