MoMur- try and I* Wiley McCaughey for the purpose of restraining trade in the I'nited States by creating a single corporation witli large capitalization and buying or leasing the greater portion of the can-making machinery In the I'nited States.

The control of these factories and manufacturing plants was maintain ed through contracts by which for mer owners or venders were prevent ed from engaging in business for the next fifteen years. It is alleged that the American Can Company obtained possession of patents on machinery for long term periods. The brief asks for the dissolution of the combine into separate and in dependent units, its many as may be found neensspry to establish competi tive conditions, and that a receiver be appointed to take possession of its property and work out such a dis solution. Until such dissolution the court is asked to enjoin the defendants from voting or receiving dividends from the stocks of any corporations ac quired by the trust.
