The maximum penalty for each VIC

$4,000 or Imprisonment for one year.
or both
The indictments charge that all OF
the defendants have engaged in 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
typewriter matter They go into
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 of
each concern in this trade is given as
follows: Swift group of houses, AZ per
cent: Armour group. 40 per cent:

in restraint Of trade appeared before
Judge lands Tuesday and gave bonds
In the sum of 100000 each. BY their

tioIs we're made that Louis F Swift

days.
The Judge did not require the per
sonal appearance of the packers in

scented by Levy Mayer. John S. Miller
and George T. Buckingham
The court stipulated that each pack
err be held under bond of $4,000 on
each count of the indictment, thus
making the total bond of each defend
ant 100000 and the aggregate of the
bonds of the ten packers 100000
Attorney Miller pleaded with Judge

Is the speedy motor car an obsta-
Gle to punctuality? 1t would seem so.
Certainly the habit of arriving late at
the theater and other places Of enter
tainment is growing with the multi.
plication of the means of rapid trans
portation. 1t is seldom that a play
or program is not married or interrupt
ed by these late arrivals And the
disturbance is greater where motor
cars carry the larger number Of the
attendants. Does this mean that those
who have to depend on the street cars
are more apt to give themselves rea-
sCnable time than are those who
have gotten into the habit of think.
Ing that neither time nor distance
counts when the automobile is avail
able? At any rate the habit is a bad
one.
