not at liberty to stop before such con-

appeal IN order to hasten the final ad-

likely they will let the matter go by

Chicago, Feb 1S--The demurrer Of
the packers In the so-called "beef trust"
case was oyerruled by Judge Grosscup
In the United States circuit court to-
day, and a motion granted FOR tenn
poNry injunction.
There can be no doubt, said Judge
Grosscup, that the agreement Of the
defendants to refrain from bidding
against each other IN the purchase Of
cattle, is combination in restraint OF
trade; SO also their agreement TO bid
up prices TO stimulate shipments in
tendin~ to cease from bidding when the
shipments have arrived The same
result follows when we turn to the COM
blnation OF defendants TO fix prices
upon and restrict the quantities OF meat
shipped to their agents or their GUS
toners. Such agreements can be MOTH
ing less than restriction upon competl-
ton and therefore, combination In re-
straint OF trade. and thus viewed, the
petition as an entirety, makes out a
case under the Sherman act.
II may be true that the way OF en-
forcing any decree under this petition
is beset with difficulties and that lit

levy for city schools from 5ia 20 I

we add this 10 the surplus OF the pre-
