BILL TO BE FILED TODAY
AGAINST BEEF TRUST

WASHINGTON, ID. G., May To-
The bill against the packers will be
filed this afternoon. 1t is based on
the Sherman antitrust law. 1t
charges the packers with maintaining
a combination in restraint of trade.
that they are parties to an agreement
which in effect provides for absolute
control of the beef trade of the coun-
try by arbitrarily raising and lowering
prices. They are charged also with
maintaining a blacklist by which they
can force refractory dealers out of
business. An Injunction is asked
against further operations of the
combine. its dissolution prayed for
measures to prevent arranging for
agreement in the future to control the
trade again. Immediate hearing is re-
quested so that goods in transit shall
come under the operation of the com
bine.
