OVER BEEF TRUST
Packers Will Be Held to Strict
Account if Law Is Not
Obeyed.
BY w. w. Jernane,

Washington, Jan. 31.-President
Roosevelt is expressing great pleasure
in the decision of the supreme court in
the beef trust case. He regards it as
of great Importance in opening the
way for larger federal control over in
terstate commerce by congressional, leg
islation.
As to the prospect Of criminal prosecu-
tions, federal officials are exceedingly
cautious. Officials Of the department
of Justice said today that the matter
would be determined by the president
and his cabinet advisers.
The impression prevails that no at
tempt will be made to punish the pack
rers for violations which have occurred
during the past three years, which have
elapsed since the injunction was
granted. The packers will be given
the benefit Of any doubt which they
might have entertained as to the legal
ity Of the injunction.
But now that the law is known to
be valid, no 0fenses will be condoned
or overlooked. Government officials
will keep a sharp lookout from this time
on, and anything savoring Of conspir-
acy which will admit Of conclusive
proof, will be made the basis of Grim
inal procedure. The packers or their
managers may be hauled into court to
answer to the charge Of violating the
blanket injunction which now rests over
them, forbidding the, maintenance of a
conspiracy in restraint Of trade.

SAY MEATS WILL
BE CHEAPER now
Local Butchers Predict End Of
Sway Of the Beef
Trust
RESULT OF DECISION
OF THE SUPREME COURT
Small Packers Will Be in a Posi-
tion to Enter the
Market.

Now that the supreme court has de-
cided against the "beef trust,'' the day
Of the small packer and cheaper meats
for everyone is at hand, in the opinion
Of the meat dealers Of Minneapolis.
Already, small packers thruout south.
modest abattoirs have entered into
communication by wire or otherwise,
with Minneapolis meat dealers, and the
butchers infer that the result will be
cheaper meat, accompanied by the odd
condition Of bettef prices for cattle.
Meat has been reasonably cheap in
Minneapolis this winter. but there is a
general suspicion that this was intended
by the packers to forestaH criticism dur
ing this crucial period.
Local meat dealers say 1t is difficult
for an outsider to realize the grip the
packers have on the meat trade, and
they do not expect an immediate reduc.
tion in prices. The combination works
both ways, they say-the trust members
down and then turn round end boost
the price Of the product, SO that going
and coming, toll is paid into the treas
ury Of the packer.
So tight is the hold the packers have
on the retail trade that dealers are
loath to discuss the situation for publ
cation.
NJust to show you,'' said one prom
inent meat dealer, who did not want
his name used, "what hold they have
on us, they can dictate to us not only
where we shall buy, but also where we
shall sell. I have been buying of q
small packer in Iowa. He recently
wrot me that he had received letters
saying he would have to ask certain
price or stop taking orders. He has
stopped.
| - Following the butchers strike
meat was cheaper because the packers
had no use for the cattle sent them
This gave the small abattoirs a chance
But the prices have come up again
Now the small packer can't get any
stuff. What chance has he in mar
ket where the buyers for the big pack
thing in sight at any price. Most OF
them have, accordingly, gone out Of

Berlin, Jan. 31.-Dispatches to the
Zeitung from Warsaw report that a
condition of civil war exists in that
city. The rebels have wrecked the tele-
phone exchange and poured tons of PEI
set afire.
A woman posted on balcony in
front Of her house picked off with her
rife Cossacks who were trying to drive
the strikers from the streets. A Co.'S
sack finally shot the woman, but his
own life paid the penalty. The mob
fell upon him, dragged him from his
horse, and beat and kicked him to-
death.
Fighting around the barbados con-

London, Jan. 3I.-A dispatch from
Warsaw says that neither Polish nor
Russian ,neWspa pers are appearing to-

that thus far sixty civilians and fifteen
policemen and soldiers have been killed,
and hundred rioters have been
wounded. There are undoubtedly many
more wounded, as many of the injured,
lie concealed in their homes. Three
hundred persons have been arrested
for footing and $50 for rioting, 60 are
held as revolutionists.
Some barricades have been erected in
the streets. The revolutionists appear
to be better armed than the police.

SITUATION SUMMARIZED
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

The storm center Of the Russian
labor disturbances now seems to be-
Poland, where the situation is re-
ported in today's dispatches as be-
ing increasingly serious. Minor col
hsions between the police and the
populace are frequent in Warsaw,
where the number of killed is esti-
mated to be about 100. The mobs
are pillaging shops and all indus
trial concerns are closed. Semi
official reports received in Paris
regarding the general conditions in
Russia are described as very unfa-
vorable. The Associated Press cor
respondent in st. Petersburg cables
that Maxim Gorky; the author and
reform leader, who is under arrest,
is in no danger. It is expected that
he will be released in few weeks.
The Japanese are taking advan-
tage of Kussia's internal troubles
and, by means Of letters thrown
into the Russian lines, are endeav-
oring to dishearten the troops.
