BIG R. R. TRUST OVERTHROWN.
Final Decision By the United States
Supreme Court Against the Northern
Securities Company.
Washington. Mlarch it'.-In the
United States Supreme Court, on
Monday an (pinion was delivered
in the merger case of the Northern
Securities Company versus the
United States in favor (f the gov
ernment's contention that the mer
ger was illegal. The opinion uif the
court was handed down by Justice
Harlan. and it upheld the decree of
the Circuit Court for the district
of Minnestota in every particular.
Four of the Justices dissented from
the five constituting the majority.
The division in the Court was due
to a difference of opinion as to the
right of Federal control of state
corporations. The majority opin
ion preceeded on the theory that
Congress has a right under the con
stitution to control inter-state com
merce, no matter by whom conduci
ed, while the minority or dissent
ing opinoion was based on the the
ory that in the present case the
effort is to regulate the ownership
of railroad stocks by state corpora
tions, and that such ownership is
not inter-state traffic.
The case decided to-day was
brought by the United States
against the Northern Securities
Company. a corporation of New
Jersey; the Great Northern Rail
way Company, a corporation of
Minnesota; the Northern Pacific
Railway Company. a corporation
of Wisconsin; Jas J. Hill, a citizen
of Minnesota; William P. Clough.
D. Willis James, John S. Kennedy,
J. Pierpont Morgan, Robert Bacon,
George Baker and Daniel Lamont.
citizens of New York.
Its general object was to enforce,
as against the defendants. the pro
visions of the statute of July 2,
i8go, commonly known as the Anti
Trust Act, and entitled "An Act to
protect trade and commerce against
unlawful restraint and monopolies."
Justice Harlan practically indi
cated the decision of the Court in
the first sentence of the opinion
proper. In that sentence he said:
'"In our judgement the evidence
fully sustains the material illega
tions of the bill, and shows a vio
lation of the Act of Congress, in so
far as it declares illegal every com
bination or conspiracy in restraint
of commerce among the several
States and with foreign nations,
and forbids attempts to monopolize
such commerce.
