associations, corporations, partnerships, and in-
dividuals. Any association which shall fail so to
do shall not have the benefit of the provisions of
sections 62 and 63 of this title, and it shall also
forfeit to the United States the sum of $100 for
each and every day of the continuance of such
failure, which forfeiture shall be payable into
the Treasury of the United States, and shall be
recoverable in a civil suit in the name of the
United States brought in the district where the
association has its principal office, or in any dis-
trict in which it shall do business. It shall be the
duty of the various United States attorneys,

of the forfeiture. The costs and expenses of such
prosecution shall be paid out of the appropria-
tion for the expenses of the courts of the United

ciation is in restraint of trade within the United
States or in restraint of the export trade of any
domestic competitor of such association, or that
an association either in the United States or
elsewhere has entered into any agreement, un-
derstanding, or conspiracy, or done any act
which artificially or intentionally enhances or
depresses prices within the United States of

ciation, or which substantially lessens competi-
tion within the United States or otherwise re-
strains trade therein, it shall summon such as-
sociation, its officers, and agents to appear be-
fore it, and thereafter conduct an investigation
into the alleged violations of law.
