Government DECIDES TO
PROSECUTE BEEF TRUST
Three Firms Named--Action Against Them in Chicago
Blamed For High Prices.

Washington, d. c. Especially -
The Beef Trust" so-called, is to be
prosecuted by the national govern
ment. The Department of Justice
evidently believes its existence is a
leading factor in maintaining the
present high prices of fresh meats.
The contemplated action of the de-
partment follows an investigation
which has been conducted by its
special agents for some months. lni-
tial proceedings will begin before the
grand jury at Chicago probably this
week, and may contemplate both civil
and criminal action.
The firms mentioned in connection
with the matter include Swift e. Co.,
Morris & Co. and Armour & Co., all
big packing-house concerns. and all
of whom, it is said, are interested
in the National Packing Company
The three first-named concerns are
commonly reported to control the Ma
tional Corporation for their common
benefit.
The aim OF the department has
been to ascertain the relations be-
tween the several firms, individually,
and the National Packing Company
for the purpose of determining
whether they have operated to con-
troll the prices of fresh meats, which,
according to almost universal COM
plant, have been going higher and
higher From the fact that proceed
ings are to be instituted, the infer
ence is that the officials feel salts

fed they have a good case.
One possible method of action may
be that of suit to dissolve the COM
pany under the Sherman Antitrust
Law, as an organization operating
in restraint of interstate trade. Pro-
ceedings against individuals also may
result.
The Investigations conducted by
the department, resulting in the de-
termination to proceed in the courts
against the alleged combination. had
their inception in an inquiry into the
practices of one of the Western rail-
roads in making shipments for Nor
ris e. Co. which, 1t had been charged,
amounted practically to rebating.
These were gone into fully at the
time and the conclusion resulted that
while they could readily be regarded
as improper, they had nothing to do
with rebating. The practices COM
planned of. however, were discontin-
ued.
Promptly upon learning the deci-
sion of the Department of Justice
to take action against the so-called
Beef Trust, Alfred X. Urion, head
of the legal department of Armour
& Co., one OF the packing concerns
affected, left hurriedly for Chicago
Mr.. Urion had been in Washing
ton more than a week, watching the
developments in the governments
proposed action, and it is understood
he had some conferences with the
Attorney General and the Depart
ment of Justice.
