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 The brief ls signed by Attorney General Gregory.

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. •M-M'-M-in-'H I'M 1 M-M"I"M M M 'MMM -H-M-M- .J.

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.

International News Service: 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 Charges as a part of the plan tor congestion relief.
