BEEF TRUST DECISION


III chief effect of the decision of
the supreme court in the cases
brought against the big Chicago
packers is the definition of all really
interstate business regardless of
technicalities. The court refused to
consider the Chicago facts as con-
trolling. Title to a CARLOAD of meats
might be passed in Chicago or Kan
sas City or Omaha, but if those
meats were destined to another state
for consumption, they became parts
of the commerce among the S ates,
and therefore subject to federal con-
troll. Justice Holmes, speaking for
the court, even went further when
/ ne said:
"But we do not mean to imply
hat the rule which marks the point
/ at which state taxation or regulation
becomes permissible, necessarily is
beyond the scope of rat r!ert nee by
| Congress in cases VIII re sHrh inter-
| ference is deemed Itcte> sly for the

| the states. Nor do we mean 10 mt
mate that the statue under con~id-
Grafton is limited to that foint.'
This means, it is pla'n, that the
power of Congress over commerce is
almost unlimited, ard this is the
CHER meaning of the new decision.
The practical agreement or action OF
the big packers in abolishing COM
petition brought them within the
terms of the Sherman act after the
court had declared that their bust
ness was commerce among the
states.
The meat trust will be troubled
indeed TO find a way to maintain
their scheme of aboli5hing competi'
