GREEK BOYS WILL GO.
Two Hundred Youths i'm Texas Or.
dered Deported.

Galveston, Tex.-After an investi-
cation extending over a period Of
several months the immigration de-
partment has ordered about 200
Greek boys, ranging in age from
nine to fifteen years, deported to
their native country. This action is
taken upon the ground of violation
of alien contract labor law and also
In violation of the child labor act.
These boys, scattered over a wide
territory in Texas, including Gal
weston, Houston, San Antonio, Fort
Worth and other cities, are employ
ed principally in shoe shining estab-
lis.hments operated by their own
It is understood the men charged
with having imported these boys will
be prosecuted. The boys were under
contract when they left Greece, and
many Of the contracts practically
amount to the sale of the boys, who
are hired by parents or guardian at
a trifling sum per annum, to be
paid to the parents, while the boy,
under the terms of the contract Is
supposed to be given his schooling
and board. In reality he gets no
schooling, and In many instances
miserable board and shelter.

BEEF TRUST TO Be next
Federal Government to 90 AZ
ter the ''Big Three"
Special AGENTS have been BUSY
Officials Seem Satisfied That National
Packing Company Is RESPONSE
bic for the Present High
Prices of Meat.

Washington.-The "beef trust"
so-called, is to- be prosecuted by the
national government. The depart
ment of justice evidently believes
its existence is leading factor ip
maintaining the present high prices
of fresh meats.
The contemplated action of the
department follows an investigation
which has been conducted by it's spe-
cial agents for some months. Initial
proceedings will begin before the
grand jury at Chicago probably 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. The
three first named concerns are COM
mony reported, to control the Ma
tional corporation for their common
benefit.
The aim Of the department has
been to ascertain the relation be-
tween the several firms, individual
ly, and the National Packing Com
pany for the purpose of determining
whether they have operated to con-
troll the prices of fresh meats, which
according to almost universal COM
plants, 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.
