vision.

Washington, Jan. 31-The supreme
court OF the United States yesterday
decided the case of the United States
vs. swift d Co., known as the beef
trust, charging conspiracy among the
packers TO fix prices on fresh meats
etc The opinion was handed down by
Justice Holmes and affirmed the deci-
sion Of the court below, which was
against the packers.
In his opinion, Justice Holmes dis.
cuSsed at length the various conteD.
tons OF the packers and disposed OF
them individually. He admitted that
some of the charges were less SPECIFIC
than desirable, but said this was nee,
essarily true on account of the vast
extent of the field covered. He added
that sufficient cause had been shown
TO prove continued Offenses and an
ofense Of such nature as to Justify
the proceeding. The opinion contin.
ued the injunction granted against the
packers under the Sherman antitrust
law by the lower courts. The opinion
was concurred in by all the members
Of the court.

Case Summed Up,

Chicago: Judge Peter S. Grosscur
of the United States circuit court
speaking of the decision said:
The substance of the case present
ed to the circuit court was whether
the purchase of cattle from sellers
living in different states to manufac.
ture into dressed meats and the sale
or such meats to purchasers in differ
ent states constituted interstate com.
mefce or not. In holding that such
transactions were interstate commerce
the circuit court entered upon ground
that from a judicial standpoint had
not been covered by previous deci-
sions of the supreme court or of the
other federal courts.
THE decision establishes the right
OF the government to prevent combi-
nations among the manufacturers Of
meats. 1t fortifies the reaction of ef-
tectlve supervision. The decision Is
far reaching. 1t effectively clears the
decks for what l believe will be the
next really great national move-the
organization and supervision by the
nation itself of the great corporations
or the future. A move whose chief
object will be not so much to con.
troll prices Or merely to curtail power
as to bring corporate ownership with.
IN the reach and reasonable confidence
Of the people at large and thus to
repeopleize and republicanize again
the industrial ownership of the coun- |
try"
