[Baglin v. Cusenier Co., 221 U. S. 580; in which the author was counsel.]

[TITLE]

FORM LXVI.-DECREE OF INJUNCTIONS AGAINST MONOPOLY.

[230 Fed. 524.]

"This cause came on to be heard at this term and was argued by counsel: and thereupon, upon consideration thereof, it was ordered, adjudged, and decreed as follows, viz.:

(1) The defendants, George Eastman, Henry A. Strong, Walter S. Hubbell, and Frank S. Noble (hereinafter called the individual defendants), and Eastman Kodak Company of New York and Eastman Kodak Company of New Jersey (hereinafter called the corporate defendants), have combined, conspired, and participated in various transactions directly affecting the trade and commerce among the several states in photographic supplies, consisting of cameras, films, plates, and photographic paper, with the purpose and intent of unduly and unreasonably suppressing competition and restraining and monopolizing such trade in violation of the act of July 2, 1890, entitled "An act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopolies." Thereby the corporate defendants have engrossed and monopolized, and will engross and monopolize, between 75 and 80 per cent, of such trade, and accordingly attained, and now hold, an illegal monopoly thereof, which in and of itself, as well as each and all of the elements composing it, whether corporate or individual, whether considered separately or collectively, violates sections 1 and 2 of said act of July 2, 1890. Said monopoly was induced by wrongful contracts with regard to raw paper stock, by preventing the trade from obtaining such stock, by acquiring competing plants, businesses, and stock houses, dismantling acquired plants, and restraining the vendors from re-entering the business, by imposing on photographic dealers arbitrary and oppressive terms of sale, and other regulations inconsistent with fair and free dealing, and arbitrarily enforcing the same through the establishment of a system of espionage and the keeping of records of violations, with a view of penalizing dealers, by limiting the number of dealers, and in general by suppressing competition by the foregoing and other means.

"(2) The individual defendants, and the corporate defendants, their subsidiaries, and their successors, together with their respective officers, directors, agents, servants, and employes, are hereby severally enjoined from continuing or carrying into further effect the monopoly herein adjudged illegal, or any of the contracts, conspiracies, restraints on trade, terms of sale, regulations, or practices, or any similar acts, which induced said monopoly, or which might in the future restrain commerce in photo

graphic supplies among the states, or induce or prolong an unlawful monopoly of such commerce.

(3) The monopoly herein adjudged illegal shall be abrogated, and to that end the business and assets of the defendants, Eastman Kodak Company, a corporation of New Jersey, and Eastman Kodak Company, a corporation of New York, be divided in such manner and into such number of parts of separate and distinct ownership as may be necessary to establish competitive conditions and bring about a new condition in harmony with law; and the defendants shall file with the clerk within 90 days from the entry of this decree a plan for such separation and division for the consideration of this court. In the event this case is appealed and the decree superseded within 60 days from the entry thereof, the time within which the defendants shall file said plan is hereby extended to 60 days from the filing of the mandate of the Supreme Court with the clerk of this court. Jurisdiction is retained by the court to make such additional orders or decrees as may be necessary to carry this decree into effect.

"(4) Inasmuch as trade in cinematograph film and foreign trade in photographic supplies are not covered by the petition herein of the United States of America, no decree in regard to such subjects is made herein, but without renouncing the power and duty of this court to deal with all the property and business of every character of the corporate defendants in effecting the abrogation of the monopoly herein adjudged illegal.

'(5) Nothing in this decree contained shall prevent the defendants, or any of them, from the institution, prosecution, or defense of any suit, action, or proceeding involving any of their property or rights.

"(6) The petitioner shall recover from the defendants the costs of this suit to be duly taxed herein.

[ocr errors]

(7) The injunction granted by the second subdivision of this decree shall take effect 60 days after the entry of this decree, in case no appeal is taken from it. If an appeal be taken, and the decree be superseded, its operations shall be suspended until such time as shall be fixed in the final decree of this court entered on the mandate of the Supreme Court.'' For another form, see U. S. v. Southern Grocers' Ass'n, 207 Fed. 434.
