WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 Tho supreme court of the United States today de livered a death blow at violations of tho fe'hcrman anti-trust law under tho cloak of tho protection of the patent laws, by annulling an Invalid "llccnso agreements" which hold manufacturers of sanitary enameled Iron waro together In tho com bination known as tho "bath tub trust."
