l905.)
When Commissioner Garfield went
to the Chicago packers and asked
permission to inspect their books, the
condition was made that no informa.
ton he might obtain therelrom would
be used in court proceedings against
them.
Mr. Garfield gave this pledge It is
stated, and the packers allowed him
TO study their business in all It's de.
tails from the inside.
Now, It Is announced the results OF
his study have been turned over to
the government department of justice
to be employed in legal prosecution Of
the packers.
Commissioner Garfield would not
have ventured to give the pledge that
was demanded by the packers without
instructions from Washington. He
pledged, not his own word, but the
governments, 1t is not his good faith,
but the governments, that is in ques
ton now.
The Journal has no concern for the
packers, except as they are citizens
Of Chicago. II II can be proved that
they are guilty of engaging In con.
spracy In restraint Of trade, they
ought to be punished.
But their guilt, II they are guilty,
must be fairly proved. They must be
given square deal.
