Chicago Beef Barons Face
 Indictment U. s. Grand Jury Finds Against Dozen
 Concerns
General Counsel of National Packing Com. pany Announces Determination to Fight Cases to Highest Courts.

Chicago, March 21. Eight weeks after it had begun it's in- vestigation for alleged violations of the Sherman antitrust law, the federal grand jury today re- turned indictments against the National Packing company and ten subsidiary concerns.
 Immediately uhon the announ- cement of the indictments before Judge Kenesaw M. Lands, the government filed a suit seeking the dissolution of the making company. The suit One equity and beside those indicted, sixteen firms and individuals are made defendants.
 In a statement issued on behalf Of the National Packing company Ralph Crews, it's general counsel, tonight gives some inkling of the determination to fight the govern ment to the limit. His statement follows:
 The company y was organized in March, 1903, for the purpose economic operation of certain subsidiary corporations named Jointly with it in the indictment returned today by the federal grand jury for the norehtrn dist rict of Illinois. Its organization was directed by the best counsel obtainable who then believed and now believe that it's organize ton and the operation of it's sub- sidiary companies in no way tran sgressed the provisions of the Sherman act; and in this respect 1t IS practically similar to nearly all the large corporations of the country.
 The total percetage of the business done by the corporation controlled by the National Pack ing company forms but a small part of the whole volume of the packing industry.
 This proportion could not con- titute a monopoly in any sense of the word. Instead of operating to restrain the trade of it's subsid- iary companies. as alleged in the indictment, it is a fact that the companies have all shown 3 healthy increase since the from ation of the National. The com pany is operated by it's officers purely as a competitive and in. dependent in the trade.
 ''The indictment today return, ed and the bill in equity today filed by the district attorney are directed at the organization and operation of this company. These operations have, at all times, been frank and open and we are confi- dent that the courts will sustain our contentious with respect to their legality.

At the ball game our hero got glor-

and observed: "Well, | see l don't
