the fight between the combinations of labor and the combinations of capital the merger decision which now may be recognized as an established principle as it is not to be contested denies the right of capital to combine in the re straint of trade Public policy was the sole consideration which prompted the court to arrive at the decision Upon the same principle but the other party being affected does it not follow that the boycott is another combination in restraint of trade which cannot be countenanced in this country Of course no man can be forced to purchase goods at anr particular shop but when wholesalers notably dealers in plumb ers supplies refuse to sell goods to any dealer who does not comply with the regulations of their association is not that an act to restrain trade and does not the welfare of the public demand that the courts apply to such cases the rule which recently was made to fit the merger so nicely Lincoln Star G A R Reunion The Burlington will sell round
