be presented for the consideration of the
full committee. The subcommittee. too
want time to investigate and act on bills
that have been referred to them.
By next week. however, it is expected
reports will be ready on some of the
important bills now before the committee
and the full committee can act.
1t is unlikely that the public utilities
commission bill will be acted upon at the
first meeting. Senator Gallinger is max
ing some improvements to his bill, and
after the revised bill has been presented
members of the committee will take time
to look into its various provisions
Bills for the creation Of an adeouate
policemen's and firemen's pension fund
are before the committee and there may
be some action on them before long Sen
ator Gallinger has indicated his approval
of the legislation in general, and as the
committee has once before at a previous
session of Congress put it's O. K. on such
bill, it is believed the committee stands
generally favorable to the legislation.

SUPREME COURT ASKED
T0STAY PROCEEDINGS
Brief Filed by Attorneys for
the Chicago Beef
Packers.

! The Supreme Court Of the United States
| today took under consideration the ap-
plication OF the counsel for the Chicago
beef packers for stay of their trial, in
| the United States district court at Chi
cago on charges of criminally violating
| the Sherman antitrust law. A stay and
bail was asked until the court passes on
the constitutionality of the Sherman anti
| trust law as a criminal statute. The
petitioners ask:
| Petition to the Court.
That pending the appeal herein the
operation and effect of the order Of No
vember p, 1911, entered in the circuit
court. which quashed the writ of habeas
corpus. dismissed the petition therefor
and vacated the order which had enlarged
appellants on bail, shall be stayed.
| That pending the appeal herein all fur
| Their proceedings upon the three certain
indictments against appellants which
were September II. 1910, returned by the
grand jury into the district court, shall
! be stayed.
That pending the appeal herein ap-
pelaDts Shall be enlarged upon bail.
| That appellants may have such other
order or orders and relief as to this hon
| orable court may seem meet"
Question at Issue.
The brief says. in part:
THE petitioners. with great respect.
submit that the public interests much
more emphatically demand that the ques-
ton here presented of the validity of the
criminal provisions Of the antitrust
statute should be speedily determined by
| this tribunal.
appellants do not stand alone Crimi-
nal prosecutions under the antitrust
statute are pending and undetermined
against the American Ice Company Off
Gals In the District of Columbia. the
American Sugar Refining Company Off
Gals in New York. the brick and paving
block manufacturers in Chicago. the milk
dealers in Boston, the lumber associations
| in Illinois. the wall paper officials in
Cleveland. the milling and elevator own
ers in Oklahoma, the shoe machinery oAi-
Gals in Boston and against the bath tub
manufacturers in Detroit, and there Is
| now pending in this court, upon certiorarl,
| the naval stores case, which came to this
court from the circuit court Of appeals
for the fifth circuit. and is entitled United
States agt. Nash. No. 49, of the present
| docket
1--WE submit that the present is case
in which special or exceptional cir
cumstances exist. that cali for the ex-
ercise of jurisdiction by this court.
1.-THE appellants in this case followed
the Identical course laid down by this
court Wnen, prior 10 apply ing 10 Tic CH
cult court for the writ. they demurred
to the indictments in the district court,
and thereafter took the additional pre-
caution of applying for rehearing.
Opposed by Attorney General.
Attorney General Wickersham prepar-
ed a brief in opposition to the motion
of the packers. He said that a stay
should not be granted by the Supreme
Court where 1t was sought merely for the
purpose of delaying the trial.
