Excerpt from The Law of Trade and Labor Combinations: As Applicable to Boycotts, Strikes, Trade Conspiracies, Monopolies, Pools, Trusts, and Kindred Topics The comparative suddenness with which Trade and Labor Combinations, in their more recent forms, have been forced upon the attention of the courts, seems to have resulted in a deplorable confusion and conflict in the decisions, with reference to fundamental principles and their application. A writer upon a branch of the law wherein such principles and application have long been clearly established, has it almost exclusively for his function to merely register or formulate what has already been declared by the courts. But a proper performance of my present task has seemed tom to imperatively demand much more than this. I think it not too much to say, that thus far the fundamental principles to be applied in determining the legality of Trade and Labor Combinations and their acts, have not been apprehended at all, or at any rate have failed to secure general recognition. By way of clearing the ground I have herein introduced, for the first time, the fundamental classification of Combinations Producing Private Injury and Combinations Producing Public Injury. A clear apprehension of the reason of this classification will suffice of itself to dissipate much of the fog and mist that have hitherto hovered about the groundwork of our topics.
