COURT S POSITION IS Him IB BRIEF OF SOLICITOR KINS Corporation Is Indirectly Classed as Criminal, and Jeopardizing of Other Sim Similar - ilar Similar Cases Is Pointed Out WASHINGTON, April 28. - The gvernment today asked the supreme court for a rehearihg of the anti antitrust - trust antitrust case against the'United States Steel corporation, recently decided adversely to the government. The request for the reopening of the case was made by Solicitor Gen General - eral General King, representing the depart department - ment department of justice, shortly after the court convened at noon. The action will reopen the long fight the federal has made to dissolve the steel tion and have ft A'j-S-jPAjjia CMinDlna CMinDlnation - tion CMinDlnation in restraint of trade. The court absolved the corporation from the charges of illegal combination made by the government by a 4-to-3 vote. The brief of the government in asking the rehearing sharply attacks the position of the court taken in its opinion of the steel case that mere size does not constitute a. violation of laws prohibiting commissions in restraint of trade. Position Attacked "No criminal is exonerated from punishment because he makes a wise use of property so acquired, and no criminal commission should bs empted from the pains and penalties of the Sherman act, because after having achieved its lawful ends it merely maintains the fruits of ' its illegal acts without seeking- daily to commit new ones," the rehearing brief of the government states The.court probably will announce before adjournment in June whether H will grant the government's re request - quest request for the reopening O s the caset Another point made by th e gov government - ernment government was that the decision was tc be rendered b ya majority of th ' court, as, due to disqqualitications o' Justices! Brandeis and Mcßeynolds only four justices joined in absolv absolving - ing absolving the corporation from charges ui '.olating the Sherman anti-trust law 4 T'iie brief further declared: iP the United States Steel cor corf)oratmn - f)oratmn corf)oratmn was a criminal combination in 1901 and the brief apparently con concedes - cedes concedes that; it was a criminal combi combination - nation combination in 1911. and itl is a criminal combination now. "While this case has been argued twice, yet a sense of official duty, a belief that the principal point in involved - volved involved is really not decided by the maj'ority opinion and would require a reversal, coupled with the belief of counsel that the effect of the de decision - cision decision is materially to change and restrict a number of recent opinions of this court construing tire anti antitrust - trust antitrust statutes and may seriously af affect - fect affect other cLses still pending as well as the future enforcement of those acts, has convinced counsel for the United States that their duty re require - quire require them most earnestly to ask for a. rehearing. Failure to Discuss Point. "It is respectfully insisted that the opinion fails to discuss the ques question - tion question pressed most Strongly by coun counsel, - sel, counsel, i. e., that the corporation is a combination in restraint of trade. "Apparently, therefore, the opin opinion - ion opinion conceded that a crime was com committed - mitted committed by the pjrepetrators of the steel corporation.

:i PEACE MOTION : UP FOR REPORT BY COMMITTEE 1 . , WASHINGTON, April 28. - The . | senate foreign relations committee - i met today in another effort to re re| - | re| port out - tire peace resolution and , get il on the floor for debate. Mean- j while, a new move to revive the I treaty of Versailles was being start start' - ' start' ; ed by a number of senators in both parties. Both the peace resolution and the effort to get the treaty back ' to the senate are political maneuvers, . in the opinion of many senators. s Senator Underwood, the newly newly. - . newly. chosen Democratic leader, is counted - on to help -work up sentiment for a t treaty agreement, and then to go 1 to President Wilson and urge him i to re-submit the pact. Senator Un Unt - t Unt derwood hasn't made any promises i about it. The treaty movement is so far rather nebulous but if its spon- . sors get any encouragement, it will take form rapidly, they said. If they : are rebuffed in preliminary soundings of sentiment, they probably will do nothing more. When the foreign relations com committee - mittee committee met to take up the peace res- - olution, Senator Knox was prepared to submit a new draft, a combination of the house resolution and earlier Knox resolutions. Senator Knox's resolution contains five provisions. The first repeals the war declaration and restores the pre prewar - war prewar status between the United States and Germany. The second requests the president to negotiate a treaty of amity and commerce with Germany or any ar arrangement - rangement arrangement Which would have the same effect as such a treaty. , The third protests the claims of I American nationals against Germany | by requiring satisfaction iti full of I all American claims before money ! and property of Germans held by U. ; S. officials or* agencies can be turn turni - i turni ed back to its owners. The fourth retains to the United States all rights and advantages guaranteed by the armistice terms [or the treaty of peace. The fifth re- peals all war legislation. I Senator Knox expects the Republi- I cans on the committee to accept the j new resolution. He hopes for action I today. It has not been decided whether to treat Austria in a separate resolu resolui - i resolui tion or include it in the one relating ' to Germany. _ Returns to Cell When He Faces Hicost i , i JOLIET.
