Chapter 422: Supreme Court

The boss dumped the pan, and Baker, as assistant attorney general, could only sign a settlement agreement on behalf of the Ministry of Justice with a cold face. Who made Knox his boss, not the other way around. In such a shameful situation, the attorney general's face is to be preserved, and he can only do this as his assistant attorney general.
In this way, the Ministry of Justice ’s lawsuit against the joint company ’s trust came to an end in such an inexplicable situation. Pat expressed his satisfaction and was in a good mood to serve in such a company. As for other companies responding to trust litigation, there is no such good luck.
Sheffield did not leave Washington, he was still present for the Northern Securities Company's lawsuit and supported the scene for Morgan. It may alleviate the relationship between apparent friends and show the unity of the bourgeoisie in this matter.
"A Japanese island country, let Roosevelt like this, I believe no one can think of it." Edith Rockefeller carrying milk tea, a pair of long legs wobbled, indicating the relaxed mood of the long-legged owner.
"No one thinks that Japan can beat Dior Russia so badly." Sheffield said halfway. In fact, the price paid by Japan is even worse. When the negotiations come to an end, the Japanese will raise a kind of white country partnership pit. my feeling.
Who makes Japan a strange one in today's world? There is no benefit in winning the war. Especially Roosevelt began to mediate the Russo-Japanese War, so that Japan, which already has an advantage, feels that the Russo-Japanese War is a white conspiracy. Other white countries will not see the complete defeat of the Emperor Russia before they force a truce in Japan. With different positions, the ideas brought about by President Roosevelt's mediation are naturally different.
However, in Sheffield's view, before the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War as World War II, Japan's last large-scale war brought two endless war experiences, one in the army and one in the navy.
The Japanese Army played a spiritual nuclear bomb, without brain swarm, and finally paid a greater price than the Imperial Russian defense forces to win. The experience gained by the navy is to use a sneak attack to kill most of the opponent's military power in one battle, and then to accept it under strong conditions and sign an alliance under the city.
These two tricks were used in World War II decades later. The Army faced the Soviet steel torrent without brain swarm, the joint fleet attacked Pearl Harbor, and waited for the United States to suffer a loss, admitting Japan's interests, and waiting for the thousand American warships.
Very good. Sooner or later, Japan will realize that the powers and powers are different. As for the current benefits, it is not known whether Morgan is still waiting for Japan to reap compensation for the Imperial War of Russia and Russia, so as to repay the loan.
Like trusts and trusts, fluke escaped from the Ministry of Justice's line of sight. An important reason is that trusts such as beef and canned food are not the same as trusts that Northern Securities Company controls public transportation. Otherwise, Sheffield does n’t need to exchange a little bit of land for the expansion of the military port. Even if he gave the Panama Canal to the federal government, he would n’t sell it twice.
After the successful escape, the pressure is now on Morgan's side. The joint company successfully escaped, and the mouth humiliated the Ministry of Justice. It will only cause other trust companies to become the Ministry of Justice's punching bag. Such a result.
For this follow-up, the slave owner will not apologize, because this is his purpose in itself, and it is a competitor. Being troubled by the Ministry of Justice will only make him feel comfortable.
As the Supreme Court is about to hear the case of the North Securities Company ’s monopolistic unfair competition, the public opinion has also become more fierce. The Federal Government and President Roosevelt themselves have said one after another that the Federal Government is not targeting domestic tycoons, but simply It is hoped that these tycoons will allow competitors to join when they already have an advantage.
"It is the industrial giants who have laid a railway network across the country, established our business, and developed our manufacturing industry. They have made a great contribution to our people overall. Without them, we are proud of Material development can never happen ... "
"We set boundaries against misconduct, but we are not against wealth ..."
"I believe that monopolies and unjust discrimination that prevent and damage competition ... and other abuses in trust institutions that are harmful to interstate commerce can be prevented by Congress' power to regulate business."
In the newspapers supporting the federal government, similar Roosevelt speeches continued to appear. What is certain is that public opinion seems to be half a catty, but in fact the voice of supporting the federal government is much louder than it is shown.
Because Sheffield has received the correct feedback from the members of the beef trust, what made them excited was the news that the Northern Securities Company was held in court. Because of the settlement with the Ministry of Justice, these members did not know.
Even these wealthy ranchers desperately hope that the Northern Securities Company, which controls traffic, will be demolished. So what can ordinary citizens think about it? What is shown in public opinion is not necessarily the true side.
For example, a hundred years later, the fledgling United States is already much more experienced. As an old lighthouse, a few viruses are all due to the flu. As long as I do n’t count, it will not cause panic. As for what the purchasing power of guns and ammunition has skyrocketed, I am the United States of America.
"It seems that it has been half a year since the Northern Securities Company appealed to the Supreme Court." In a posture of crucifixion, the slave owner who let Edith Rockefeller dress for himself, asked with boredom.
"It's December. It's been half a year." Edith Rockefeller put on a suit for Sheffield and looked at it for a moment before he was satisfied. "It's a gentleman, more suitable for the occasion of the Supreme Court."
Sheffield is going to the Supreme Court to observe the neighborhood. Of course, the process of the trial of the Northern Securities Company is not very in line with the procedure, but that kind of thing is to fool ordinary people. Just like the medical system of the United States one hundred years later, the people within the program, the medical system of the United States is for you, and the people outside the program, the medical system is the world's largest, undoubtedly the beacon of humanity, the most resistant to death Mysterious organization.
For example, Sheffield obviously can break the existence of a case, naturally, it is not possible to make an example. The hammer of the Supreme Court marked the final stage of the confrontation between bankers and the federal government.
Sheffield took Edith Rockefeller's hand and led Pat, the chief lawyer of the United Company, into the sacred gate of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is a Corinthian building made of marble. It is located in East Capitol Avenue in Washington DC echoes the location of Congress.
Outside the Supreme Court, Sheffield met the two railway giants Hartman and Hill. After inquiry, the Morgans did not attend the trial. The two greeted the two with a smile. Sheffield looked He said easily, "I hope we can all escape this unreasonable trouble."
"Thank you!" Hill nodded gratefully, looking at the door of the Supreme Court, and walked in firmly.
The chief justice officer of the High Court is still Fuller who tried the Knight Company case, and the only officer Harun who opposed the Knight judgment was not retired and four others. But at this time, three new faces were added: McKenna, a Republican conservative from California, Peckham, a railroad lawyer from New York, and Holmes, an enlightened judge from the Massachusetts Supreme Court. No one knows what decision they will make in the end.
Pat whispered the Supreme Judges and told Sheffield ’s past tendencies, "I think this is an evenly contested battle, and it ’s not easy to do if one party is our joint company."
Oh? Sheffield looked at Pat suspiciously. What was not easy to do, singled out the judge who was most likely to make an unfavorable judgment, and caused an accident. Won't the odds increase?
As the trial began, the moment to determine the fate of the North Securities Company finally arrived. James, the lawyer of the North Securities Company, pointed out whether the anti-trust law was justified. "There is no conspiracy to restrict interstate commerce and competition in the North Securities Company. With a legal license, its legal person rights are the same as natural persons. Therefore, it can dispose of its property and exercise its legal rights as freely as natural persons. How can the government destroy this sacred property right? "
At the White House, the Minister of Justice, who was being teased by slave owners, also met the boss of the United Company he saw in his eyes. Sheffield appeared here, obviously he was okay, came to support the North Securities Company, because Sheffield The emergence of Knox raised a nameless fire in his heart, and remembered the scene in the White House.
After James ’s complaint was over, he stood up and said with personal emotion, "The real purpose of the antitrust law is essentially to interfere with the power of those who use their wealth to do whatever they want. This is the sole purpose of the law. Any violation of antitrust Law companies must be prepared to be litigated. "
Speaking of which, she glanced at Sheffield's position, and this kind of glance is absolutely glaring.
Receiving the signal clearly, Sheffield's head tilted slightly, and Edith Rockefeller beside him whispered in his ear, "I don't like this Minister of Justice very much, but I haven't treated him in the last four years. It will be uncertain in the future. "
"Four years later, he will be an ordinary Republican!" Edith Rockefeller understood, but also said comfortingly, "At that time, he did not threaten, don't be so angry."
"It's not unreasonable to say!" Sheffield nodded innocently. After a few years, who knows who Knox is, there is no need to have general knowledge with each other.
