held in the Produce Exchange building, New York, known as the "New York Conference," which were presided over by Robert H. Goodwin, who acted as secretary, rates for the carrying of freight were established, rebates granted, and methods for the coercion of shippers and the elimination of competition discussed and action taken. The Government's petition in conclusion asserted: "As a result of the combination and conspiracy hereinbefore alleged and of the various acts hereinbefore alleged to have been done by the defendants in furtherance thereof, the defendants have restrained trade by eliminating competition among themselves and by destroying and rendering impracticable the competition of others and have thereby acquired a virtual monopoly of that portion of the foreign commerce of the United States which consists in the transportation of passengers and freight for hire between ports of the United States on the Atlantic Coast and Mexican Gulf and ports in the Republic of Brazil. "Said monopoly is complete, but for one small independent line, the Lloyd Brazileiro, operating steamships with infrequent sailings between Brazilian ports and the port of New York and but for a small and decreasing number of tramp steamships plying at irregular intervals between ports in the United States and ports in Brazil. The sailings provided by these competitors are so infrequent and irregular that shippers who are regularly shipping goods between the United States and Brazil are obliged to employ the defendant lines for at least a portion of their shipments. The defendants are attempting to monopolize said commerce completely and by the aid of the coercive measures hereinabove described will succeed in so doing unless restrained by the decrees of your Honors. "By reason of said restraint of trade and said virtual monopoly said defendants have acquired the power to fix arbitrary and unreasonable rates for the services rendered by them in said trade and commerce and have endeavored to maintain rates at that artificial level at which said traffic so monopolized may be made to yield the highest net returns to them. By their action in fixing such rates they have deprived and are depriving the public of the benefit of the lower scale of rates for such traffic that would normally have resulted from free competition among persons and corporations engaged in such traffic and of the benefit of superior facilities for such traffic that would normally have been provided as a result of said competition."
