Berlin, Jan. 22.-Kaiser Wilhelm's
personal intervention in behalf of
peace is likely to be the next develop
ment in the stubborn struggle in the
-Westphalian coal district.
Your correspondent has authority for
stating that his majesty is outraged
by the defiant attitude of the mine
owners in refusing to take part in a
conference with the union leaders, as
sembled under the auspices Of the gov
eminent. William is keeping in init
mate touch with all the developments
in the strike district and is deeply i'm
pressed with the orderliness and re-
straint of the strikers, which is in
strong contrast with the unyielding at
titude of the operators. Should the
owners persist in their demands for
unconditional surrender on the part of
the miners, it is declared that the
kaiser is prepared to exercise his
sovereign authority to take Over the
settlement of the strike himself by de-
handing a conference of the operators
and miners in his palace at Berlin.

PACKERS HAVE NOT GIVEN PRE-
TENSE OF COMPLYING WITH
INJUNCTION.
ARE IN CONTEMPT OF COURT
TRUST MUST BE DISSOLVED,
NOT TECHNICALLY, BUT
ACTUALLY.

Washington, Jan. 20.-If the expect
ed decision from the supreme court
sustaining Judge Grosscup's injunc-
ton against the beef trust be not fol-
lowed by dissolution of the combine,
the packers will be prosecuted, and,
if necessary, sent to Jail for contempt
of court. This decision was reached
at conference between United States
District Attorney Bethea of Chicago
and Attorney General Moody yester-
day.
The department of justice has ample
evidence to convince it that the pack
ers have not given pretense Of COM
plying with the injunction. They
have continued their old methods by
which they fixed the buying and sell
ing prices of meats, openly and flag
law and Judge Grosscup's order. 1t is
believed that if the packers should be
Hauled Into Court
on the evidence which has been gath
cred by Mr.. Moody's investigators,
Judge GrOsscup would fine them heav-
lily and probably send several to jail,
especially if the government should
ask that the extreme epalty be in
forced
Mr.. Moody realizes that the packers
may have some show of an excuse for
failing to comply with the injunction
until their appeal has been decided,
and he is inclined to give them a
chance to obey the law. But there
must be no unnecessary delay, nor will
any partial reformation be accepted.
The trust must be dissolved. not
technically, but actually and at once,
and every method and agreement by
which it has controlled the markets
must be abandoned. Actual competi-
ton must prevail in the purchase Of
stock and the sale of meats. Mr..
Moody will be satisfied with nothing
less than that, and if the change does
not come quickly, relentless prosecu-
tons will be instituted against the
packers.
