PACKERS ENJOINED.
Restrained by Court from ConspirinE
to Control Prices-Injuncti0n
Is Temporary.

Chicago, May 21.-The six great
packing houses that together control
60 per cent. of the meat business
of the United States have been en-
joined from continuing any combina-
ton or agreement by which prices
are fixed or trade is restrained.
Judge Grosscup, in the United States
circuit court Tuesday afternoon, at
the request of the government, en-.
tered the order for a temporary in
junction. The packers made no OPP
position to it, except in some par
ticular details, and through their
counsel, John S. Miller, they an
nounced that they were not yet
ready for the battle. 1t will be Au-
gust before the real fight comes, for
the law gives the defendants that
much time, and when it does come it
will be upon questions of law and
not upon questions of fact.
The firms against which the tenn
porary injunction stands are: Ar
mour & Co., Swift & Co., the Cudahy
Packing company, Nelson Morris &
Co., the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger
company, the Hammond Packing
company. Two subordinate compa-
MES, the Armour Packing company
and the G. H. Hammond company, are
also enjoined, as are some 80 of the
owners, officials and employees of the
comDanies.

Students Of vital statistics seem to
be at loss to account for the state
ment appearing in current review
that, despite improvements in santa
ton and advances in medicine and
surgery, the average of human life is
no greater now than it was 100 years
ago. At venture, one might suggest
that modern civiliza ton has made man
a sort of dollhouse plant, incapable of
enduring the comparative hardships
which our great-grandfathers bore
with equanimity. The wonder is that
we have been able to hold our own as
well as we have.
