ISSUE IS JOINED
Government Asks for Injunction
Against the Beef Trust.
WHAT THE TRUST WILL ANSWER
Injunction and Let Results
Argue for Them.

Chicago, May 2.-Representing the ma
tional government, District Attorney S. H
Bethea Saturday evening filed with the clerk
of the federal circuit court bill for an in
junction, sweeping in character, designed to
destroy the alleged giant conspiracy to lille
gally control the meat trade of the United
States. r.. .sf
At the same time he served notice that at
2p m, May co. he will appear before Fed
eral Judge Grosscup and ask for temporary
injunction against the packers and their rep
resentatives under the. Sherman national
antitrust law. z.
The petition charges conspiracy, unlawful
combination blacklisting, illegal carriage
charges, making of false market prices lille
gally depressing the market and accepting
railroad rebates.
. Ready to Make Answer.
The packers have not been caught IN
prepared by the bill for injunction filed by
District Attorney Bethea. Every allega-
ton has been anticipated by the packers
attorneys. Only the legal verbiage is
lacking to put the answer in shape Tor
filing.
The packers. plan of action will delay a
final hearing, as they will probably not
oppose temporary injunction. The pack
ers will appear in court on May 20 with
their answer. This action will place them
in a position of having to obey the IN
junction or of running the chances OF
criminal prosecution.
If the allegations are true and the
packers obey the injunction the price OF
cattle must rise, and the price OF dressed
beef fall. If the allegations are not true,
there will be no immediate change IN
| prices.
In the event that there is no rise in the
price of cattle or fall in the price OF
beef, the government must show that the
packers are not obeying the 41n1unctlon
! and prosecute them criminally. ~ In the
event that the government cannot secure
such evidence. at the end of thirty days
the hackers can apply for dissolution OF
| the Injunction on the ground that there IS
4 no restraint of trade. The government
mnst then proye that such a combination
| does exist.
what the Answer Will Say.
Following is a synopsis of the packers
| answer:
/ The allegation that the packers manipulate
| the price Of cattle will be denied, and 1t VII
| set forth that such manipulation is Impossible
/ because they buy only 40 per cent OF tne
cattle sold in the United States. The othe1
/ 50 per cent is bought by the independent pack
| ers and butchers and by the exporters fol
| foreign markets. 5s - -
It is impossible for the packers to run tnt
price Of cattle up one day IN order TO Dr1nt
| in heavy shipments on following days, pc
| cause the profits depend on steady supply
/ and fluctuations in receipts mean q loss e
i the packers, because 1T causes part OF thell
plant to be IDLE when recefpts fall on.

EMP0RIA'S BIG DAY.

Be There in September.

Washington, July 3.-William Allen
White, E F. Ware, commissioner of
pensions, and General Wood breakfast
ed with the president this morning. Mr..
White was also the presidents guest at
dinner last night. The president prom
ised White that he would be in Em-
poria about the middle of September
when the first dirt is thrown on the site
of the Emporia federal building.
Everything will be in readiness to
have the work start on the day the pres
ident is in Emporia.
White says it is proposed to make a
gala day of it and the event will be a
sort of testimonial to Miller for what
he has done for Emporia Excursions
will be run on all railroads and it is
expected that the biggest crowd in the
history of the town will be there. 1t
will be essentially a Miller day and he
will be publicly thanked by the busi-
ness men of Emporia through the busi-
ness mems association under whose
auspices the affair will be conducted.
1t will be non-partisan, non-fac-
tional event. Mr.. White had long con-
ference with Miller this morning and the
latter is pleased with the plans. White
says that he is enthusiastically for NIL

The strike is the result of notice
announcing that when the works re-
opened next Monday none but non-un-

strikers assert that in recent years
their wages have been reduced gradual

ANTHONY'S WAR BEGINS
Opens the Fight on Congressman
Curtis and Senator Burton.

1t begins to look as though the An
thongs are preparing to stir things up
over at Leavenworth. All during the
postoffice fight the Leavenworth Times
was very mild. There are now indica-
tions that it is about to break loose and
start a rough house among Congress-
man Curtis friends. Here are two
paragraphs from yesterdays Times:
esSince Congressman Curtis undertook
to punish Leavenworth county Republic
cans for refusing to dishonor them
selves by violating their instructions for
w J. Bailey, wonderful change of
sentiment is noticed among the vet
Grams at the Soldiers home. Many of
the old soldiers had been wearing Cur
It's buttons but since they have become
a badge of dishonor they are being rap
idly discarded Seven men were dis
cussing the matter yesterday near the
Home butcher shop and 1T ended by
four of the group throwing the Curtis
buttons in the gutter.
tSince Congressman Curtis has de-
clared war on the friends of W. J.
Bailey the fight for the legislative can
didates who will elect a United States
senator will be fought along those
lines In Leavenworth county where
ninety per cent of the Republicans are

Pittsburg, Kan, June 3.-Nearly 2O.-

the Ohio from Pittsburg today. It was
one of the heaviest shipments ever sent
out to southern cities. The rivers have
reached an excellent shipping stage, the
first since April Is.
A strike hindered the coal combine
from getting out all of the tows this
morning. Yesterday 140 deckhands were
brought up from southern cities by the
combine. They were to get $50 per
month.
There has been a scarcity of deck
hands among the opposition to the COM
bine and they took advantage of the
shipment of negroes, offering $50 per
month. thus winning them over in i
rush to the other side. The combine
finally managed to get all coal out.
