No president who has ever been

The indictments charge that all OF
the defendants have engaged in a com
bination in restraint of interstate
trade in fresh meats, that they have
engaged in a conspiracy in restraint OF
trade and that they have monopolized
the trade in fresh meats by unlawful
means.
The indictments cover 1875 pages OF

every angle of the packing industry
In this country and contain the allega
ton that IS per cent. of the fresh
meat consumed in the eastern, west
ern and middle southern states comes
directly from the companies controlled
by the defendants. The proportion oil
