TO PROCEED
AGAINST MEAT TRUST
RY Associated Press.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The Beef
Trust will be prosecuted by the ma
tional government. The department
of justice evidently believes it is the
leading factor in maintaining present
high prices. The contemplated action
follows the investigation conducted
by special agents of the department
for some time. The initial proceed
ings- will begin in Chicago, possibly
next week, and may contemplate both
civil and criminal actions.
The firms mentioned in connection
with the matter include Swift & Co.,
Morris & Co. and Armour & Co, all
of whom, it is said. are interested
in the National Packing Company.
One possible method of atcion may
be a suit to dissolve the National
Packing Company under the Sherman
antitrust law, as the organization is
operating In restraint of interstate
trade. Proceedings against indi-
viduals may result.
