ago Acknowledgement Moody, on be-
half OF the Government, alleged that
there was a conspiracy among the
members of the Beef Trust, or pack
er's combination, not to bid against
each other in the live stock markets;
to bid up prices for few days as an
inducement to cattlemen to send their
stock to the stcckyards, ard then to
fix the prices at which cattle would De
sold. 1t was further alleged that the
trust kept a "blaek-list" Of dealers;
that It obtained unlawful rebates from
railroads, thus having substantial
advantage over competitors; that u
was q combination TO control trade,
and that it arbitrarily fixed the price
of fresh meats to the consumer. 1t Is
to be hoped tina. the action OF the su'
preme Court will afford the pubic
some relief at least from the exactions
of the meat monopoly, although this
is predetermined at best The injunc-
ton issued by the Federal Court in
Chicago in 1908 has not prevented
advances in the price Of meats hand
led by the trust. Whether there has
been deliberate evasion of the terms OF
the injunction by the packers remains
to be seen. II they have not ebeyed
the injunction it would be the duty OF
the Government to proceed against
them fer contempt. The Sherman
Antitrust act has proved adequate
in two very important cases-that OF
the Northern Securities Company and
the Governments case against the
Beef Trust. Consumers will hope
that the Government has won more
than barren victory in the proceed
ings against the Beef Trust.-Botti-
