IT is expected that the federal grand
jury in Chicago which has been nves-
tigating the methods OF the beef trust
for more than a month will attack what
the government considers the heart oil
the problem by returning indictments
against individual officers Of the big
packing companies. Hitherto the long
war of the federal authorities has been
directed against the corporations as
corporations, and they have been en-
Joined from fixing prices by agreement.
Recently the National Packing Com
pany and its subsidiary concerns were
indicted, but Judge Lands declared the
Indictment faulty, and the present IN
yestigation followed. BY the end OF
this week, it is believed, the inqulsl-
torial body will report results Should
the individual officers Of the trusts tie

Pittsburg, Aug 23.-The United
States Steel Corporation has discovered
another bv-product IN the steel making
industry that will save hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars a year. Vast
