INJUNCTION EOR
CHICAGO PACKERS
Asked for by U. S. Attorney
BethGa With Approval Of
AttOrAey-General

Chicago May 12.-With the full ap-
proval of Attorney General p. c. Knox,
representing the national government,
District Attorney S. c. Bethea Satur-
day evening filed with the clerk of the
Federal circuit court here a bill for
an injunction, sweeping in character,
designed to destroy the giant con-
spiracy to illegally control the meat
trade of the United States.
The original of the bill was recorded
the moment filed, and was at once
placed in the official files Of the court
clerks Office At the same time Dis
trict Attorney Bethea served notice
that at p. m, May 20, he will appear
before Federal Judge Grosscup and
ask for a temporary injunction against
the packers and their representatives
under the Sherman national antitrust
law.
The defendants, It is alleged, con-
troll GO per cent of the volume of trade,
having during 1901 slaughtered 4,O0O,-
600 cattle, 100000 sheep and 6,OOO,-
600 hogs. In violation of "an act to
protect trade and commerce against
unlawful monopoly" they have agreed
to refrain from bidding against each
other in purchases of live stock, and
thus compel owners to part with it at
less prices than if there were cOmpe-
tition. It is also alleged that they

MINERS LOCKED OUT

Instead of a strike in the coal mines,
There is a lockout The operators have
been prompt to act. and by this means
have taken the first trick. In the ad-
justmont of such disputes public opin-
ion is an important factor, and we are
not certain that it will be ON the side
of the operators and owners. The
miners have offered to submit all
grievances to a board of arbitration
and TO abide by its decision. This on
the surface has the appearance of fair
ness, and the operators will have TO ex-
plain the reasons leading to its fiat re-
lection.
II has not been many months since
a Civic Federation was formed, and a
board composed Of distinguished per-
sons was appointed to arbitrate all
disputes that might arise between Ia
bor and capital. 1t was feared at the
time that the purpose would not be ac-
complished, since the worhngmer
would not submit their grievances t.
uhe arbitrament Of such body. In this
instance. however, it was capita
which hung back.
OF course, there are disputes betweei
these two factors which may not b.
subjects for arbitration. In certain IN
stances there may be question o
/. right or of principle at stake whicl
must be adhered to, but this does no
appear TO be such case, and we be
iieve that under either form of arbi
t tration suggested the equities Nigh
e have been preserved. The operator
y evidently are serene, caring httl
r whether the strike is begun and COZ
y tinues. They have large quantities
I coal stored. and should the supply ru
. short. increased prices will make u
! The difference. The miners and Oh
people in the end will be the sufferer

Thelr Action Without Parallel
ON the Delaware Democrat.

From the Delaware Democrat.
The Sun. in its efforts to berate the
Regulars, is forgetful of the fact that
the position of the Unions is more in
defensible than that of the Regulars;
that while the former limit their
choice to one man for both vacancies
the latter will take any two or twenty
men who can be named, restricting
their choice only in the case of one
man.
The action of the Addicksites is
without parallel in this State and, we
believe anywhere else. That a man
by the mere power of his money and
without superior mental qualifications,
or anthings else to attract persons to
him. should hold the following he has,
in opposition to the men of brains in
the party. is something we have not
known before.
OF course everything has an end
and the time will come when his men
will see the blindness of their folly
and leave him to himself. Or he may
see that it is useless further TO fight
against fate and himself and give III
the contest One of these two thingY
must happen as there seems no more
chance of his winning now than ther,
was at the beginning.

PENINSULA PRESS
Down From the Tree

From the Sussex Republican.
All this talk given out by a few
Addicks leaders as to what they
are and are not going to do this
campaign is too previous. They do
not know just at present what they
may do. They never do know
until Addicks gives them their orders,
and past acts lead us to conclude that
he is the most uncertain of the whole
outfit To judge from interviews he is
always giving out to newspapers he is
always going to do something he never
does. For instance, he has, every
campaign since his advent into the
political arena of this State, given it
out that he was certain to be elected
to the senate by the next legislature,
but he wasn't. The campaign talk and
inspired articles previous to the last
campaign and also previous to the
campaign before. can be remembered
as of a similar strain. AS a matter
Of fact, brag and bluff is the stock-in-
trade Of the average Addicks leader,
but ne comes down the tree as quick
as can be when he has to. So. that all
this talk of running a separate ticket.
all of its own. from Brandywine to
Baltimore is all talk with which they
hope to frighten the Regulars into
giving them as big share Of the loaf
as possible. But they will take any
part that will be reasonable. This the
Regulars have always given for the
good Of the party. and it has been
taken and will be this time.
