GOVERNMENT FILES SUIT
TO D1SS0EVE HARVESTER
TRUST; TRADE CONTROLLED
Federal Attorneys Ask Highest Court to Affirm Decree
of Minnesota Court Wliich Ordered the Dissolution
of International Harvester Company on the Ground
That it is a Combination in Restraint of Trade.
tattrnatlonal News Service.
Washington,  D.   C,  Feb.   17.—The
■government today asked the supreme
court ot the United States tp dissolve
> tho Harvester trust.
IB, its brief filed in the high court
by the department of justice that
tribunal is asked to affirm . the decree Of til* United States district
court for the district of Minnesota,
whieh ordered the dissolution ot the
alleged trust on the ground it con-
atltuted a combination Id restraint of
trade and was thoroughly repugnant
to the doctrine that "competition, not
combination, be tbe law of trade
From that decision tbe Harvester
trust, promoted chiefly by Georgo W.
Perkins, appealed.
The government points out in its
brief that the trust was form-ed from
the International Harvester company,
the manufacturing concern, the International Harvester company of America, the marketing concern; the In-
ternatlonal Flax Twine company; the
Wisconsin Steel company and the
Wisconsin Lumber company. Industries* which make the various essential
products used ln reaping and harvesting crops, tbe Illinois Northern Railway .and the Chicago, West Pullman &
Southern railway and the railway
plant, facility of the alleged trust,
*Cyrn* JL. McCormick. Charles Deer-
Ing, Harold F. McCormick, James
Deering. John J. Olessner, Wm. H.
Jones. Richard P. Howe. Oeorge W.
Perkins, George F. Beaker, Norman B.
Ream and several bther organizers.
It declare* that this group of men
and companies organized a trust composed of .several independent manufacturers of harvesting machinery and
accessories. It is argued that all
these companies were thriving on a
competitive basis'.
Say Competition Was Restrained.
The government charges that these
dements ln the trade, through tbe
agency of 3. P. Morgan & Company,
combined their industries and formed
a combination which dominated th*
trade and restrained normal competition. The government's brief states
that the defendants admit control
from 80 to 86 per cent of the trade
I saving device of which the farmer* of
the country are dependent for sustained prosperity.
Tbe whole history of the combination with its alleged stultifying effect
on competition, is traced ln the government's argument. The government
claims that the trust is' well within
the meaning of the anti-trust act. It
Is declared that the claim or the trust
that Its units combined voluntarily
and for purposes of expanding export
trade and entering new lines of pro
duction is Irrelevant. That the combination sought to crush competitors
ts alleged. The fact that tbe harvester trust admittedly controls the
market ls declared to be incriminating
and to constitute the combination as
a trust The harvester combination
is declared to be, not as the result et
normal growth, but a conspiracy of
competitors. Wrong doing was "conspicuous" on the part of the trust.
It 1* .argued.
Formed to Monopolize Trad*.
tn addition, the government alleges
that the harvester trust, despite Its
protestations ef Innocence, was formed with specific intent to monopolize.
The government aay* that ia* contention of the alleged trust that it
has not raised price* ft beside thn 1*
aae and does not affect tae merit ef
the question as to whether or not ft ia
a monopoly.
With unusual emphasis, the government's brief declares that unless the
supreme court rinds the trust guilty
of monopoly there wlll be a renewal
of tbe rush toward concentration of
big business whlcb marked progress
of industry In the United States np to
the time of the decision of the court
in the Northern Securitl-es case—the
first anti-trust decision of any magnitude. The brief asserts that unless
the court dissolves the harvester
trust, the path will be open for tin
formation of trusts monopolizing Toad,
fuel and other vital necessities of existence. The desire for more power
whlrh power engenders will tend toward monopoly unless a decisive
check is administered, it is declared

Raise Needed Cash
Receiver H. C. Koehler for the Alliance Rubber company and tbe Alliance-Tire ft Rubber company has secured the appointment of David Kendall, A. U Atkinson and B. F. Weybrecht as appraisers of the property
of the two companies and they began
their work aa appraisers this afternoon. The task will be one requiring considerable time as aside from
the real estate and plant owned by
the companies there are book accounts
to be reported upon. When asked
what the probable assets aad liabilities of the two companies would ba
Receiver Koehler said: "Upoa that I
can only make a crude estimate, and
would place tM assets at about $75
000 aad the liabilities at $80,000 to
$100,000, hat this is mere guess work
and may be wide ot the m«A"
The affairs of the two companies
are ln a chaotic state, hat so far the
Receiver haa been unable to find
record in the county recorder's office
of the transfer of the property of the
Alliance Rubber company to the Alii-
Sua. Tire and Rubber company aad It
l» OUr to presume that the original
company is the owner ot the rubber
plant aad the real estate. -j*
During the past summer, Mr. Bejach, lu order to raise money for
which he bad pressing need, placed
with the Commercial Discount company of Cleveland the bills payable,
owned by the rubber company. The
company advanced Mr. Bejach 80 per
cent of the face of these claims and
ia this manner secured about $88,000,
between July 1 .and the last of October, 1916. As a guaranty of the
claims-tte Commercial Discount company exacted a guarantee, or bond representing an amount equal to the face
value of the accounts deposited, or
near this sum. This guarantee was
signed, first by Mr. Bejach. but the
company exacted two additional
names ln connection with that of Mr.
Bejach and the names of two of the
directors of the company were -secured by Mr. Bejach. These two state
that when they were approached by
Mr. Bejach and importuned to place
their names upon the guaranty paper
they were told by Mr, Bejach lt was
only a matter of form and had no significance attached to lt only as a matter of good faith. These two directors
find themselves In an embarrassing
situation with an unknown liability
renting upon them, but ln a sum of
$29,000 less what may be secured from
accounts approximating $40,000 which
they hold as collateral. The amount
which may be realised upon these accounts ls variously estimated at from
60 to 80 per eent of the face value
of the accounts.
The Commercial Discount company
makes a charge of about 18 per cent
for tbe accommodation loan made to
Mr. Bejuch and for wbich they held
bills receivable. What became of the
$38,000 received as an advancement
by Mr. Bejach is not known and John
B. Pow is now at work upon the books
of tbe company to try and determine
what became of the receipts since
July 1. 1016. v
it is understood that Mr. Bejach
disclaims any knowledge of the statements attributed to him and need .exclusively by Mr. Daniels la hia advertising scheme to float the $2,500,000
of tha Alliance Tire *> Rubber com-
pany. Such a statement has been
made through counsel for Mr. Bejach,
Attorneys Rice ft Sours of Canton.
If, as Receiver Koehler believes is
tho case, the Alliance Tire ft Rubber
company haa no title to any of the
property owaed by the Alliance Rubber -company, then the second company has only hot air for assets and
the property is owned by tbe stockholders of the original company which
at most is not worth par.

Washington. D. C, Feb. 17.—Admission aB Boston today by Captain
Pollack of the war-bound Germsn
liner Kron Prinzessln Cecllle, that
her engines bad been diaabled at the
direct order of th* eQerman government, coming almost at the moment
that Germany's request that tbe
1799 Prussian treaty be reaffirmed,
caused a distinct sensatloa here.
The Pollack statement was accepted
as completely confirming the belief
entertained ln official quarters that
every war bound Oerman ship la
American waters has heen wrecked
below decks. However, It positively
was stated that It would not hasten
action by the United States in any
plan that might be under consideration to seize German vessels tn the
event of war. Aad insofar as the
.request of the German government
that the treaty be amended .and
then reaffirmed, tt ia explained that
tha decision now is in the hands ot
th* president. State department official* said that the -satire matter
would be Xm4 subject of a conference
later between the president and
Secretary Lansing and that in the
meantime BO opinion will be forthcoming as to what probably will be
dene.
The disposition of the president
to "mark time' 'and await developments win remain unchanged. If
war comes Germany must be the
aggressor, officials say. And in
this connection the state department
today authorized emphatic denial of
XIX* reports tbat the negotiations between Ambassador Penfield at Vienna and the Austro-Hungarian foreign offlce over Austria's position oa
unrestricted submarine warfare have
been broken off.

Columbus, O., Feb. 17.—Prohibition
of reconslgnment of freight and the
establishment of embargo bureaus in
large cities were advocated today at
the State Utilities Commission Coal
probe by H. D. Green, of Cleveland,
superintendent of the Cleveland Divi
sion of the B. & O. railroad. He said
such a plan would greatly relieve and
possibly eliminate freight car conges
tion. Unless something ts done soon.
Supt. Oreen predicted that after the
coal situation has cleared up the ccun
try win suffer from such a congestion
of other freights that It will prove
more serious than the coal situation.
In urging abolition of reconsign
ment rule, Oreen said that all shippers
should be compelled to consign their
freight to a specific point for. unloading. He said that this would save at
least one switching and two or three
days' time for each car. He did not
believe such a plan would work oat ta
tavor of large industrial plant* and
wipj oul the small business man. Ho
pointed out that while the big plants
have private sidings th* small busi
ness man has the use of tbe rallrohd's
teain tricks.
He advised that an embargo bureau
be established at Cleveland where reports of the traffic departments of oil
railroads entering that city, and offi
clals from the State Utilities Commls
slou, together with other business
men confer at least every two daya
snd cooperate ln relieving congested
conditions by placing proper embargoes.   ,
Probe of the gas situation at Cleveland by tbe Utilities Commission was
held by Supt. Oreen to be primarily
responsible for the Congestion in the
Cleveland yards. Heavy shipment* of
coal Into Cleveland, he said, followed
the publicity given to the gas shortage.
Railroads Lack Help
Severe weather and lack of both
skilled and unskilled railroad employes have rendered car movement at
Cleveland below normal, he said. The
unsupplied demands for coal there, ill
bis judgment, are due to the inability
of railroads to move coal.
He could not understand why two
public school buildings there were
compelled to close for lack of coal. "I
don't see how any of the public
schools could be forced to close for
want of coal while others are shipping
for the schools as we are doing," said
Green.
He admitted that lt looked as If
"somebody bas been putting one over
on tbe railroads" as Chairman Hughes
of the rtilltles Commission expressed
it. Green said he had no Information
tbat would substantiate the charge
that Cleveland coal dealers or brokers
have been getting coal under the pretext of delivering it to the schools and
then selling it to other parties. Neither would he give any credence to the
claim that the railroads have discriminated in favor of war and munitions
plants and against domestic consumers of the ordinary Industrial concern.
He favored "very high" demurrage
