DEALS BLOW At BEEF TRUST
United States Supreme Court
Decides Against Swift & Co.
UNANIMOUS OPINION.
Judge Grosscup's Permanent injunc-
tion Continued by Highest
Tribunal.

The beef trust was placed perma-
nently under the ban of the law by
the highest tribunal of the land. The
supreme court of the United States,
il a decision rendered unanimously
and at an Unexpectedly early day, sus-
tained the injunction which was is
sued in preliminary proceeding by
Judge Grosscup of the United States
district court in Chicago, May 2, 1902,

Of the case put into the form of a
bill in equity by Attorney General
Knox and his assistant, Judge w. A.
Day, and the masterful way in which
the case was carried forward by At
torney General Moody, it need only be
said that the supreme court of the
United States only took three weeks
from the time the case was argued
in order to put its decision into form,
every member agreeing. 1t is a very
unusual thing when case. of any
magnitude whatever is decided by this
tribunal in such short space of time.
A reading of the opinion, however,
would indicate that the court had
probably made up it's mind on the
very day that Attorney General Moody
and Mr.. Miller, the counsel for the
beef trust, finished their arguments.
In his opinion Justice Holmes discus
sed at length the various contentious
of the packers and disposed of them in
dividually. He admitted that some of
the charges were less specific than
desirable, but said this was necessari-
ly true on account of the vast extent
of the field covered. He added that
sufficient had been shown to prove
continuous offense, and an offense Of
