CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-The ten Chicago
packers on trial for criminal violation
of the Sherman antitrust law lost in

when Federal Judge Carpenter overruled
the motion of the defense to strike out
counts two and three of the Indictment.

regarding the absorption of the

bination
DEFENSE OPENS ATTACK
Defense Attorney Buckingham called
attention to the charge accusing the de-
PENDANT packers of forming combina-
ton in restraint of trade between the
years 1907 and 1910.
Early in his address he pointed out
that the supreme court of the United
States had construed restraint of
trade as meaning only those restrictions
which were undue and unreasonable"
Continuing. Mr.. Buckingham said:
THE necessary inference is, that in
between the low fixed price of cattle and
the high and inflated fixed price of meat.
the defendants have reaped the enormous
difference as their profit. and that the
public has accordingly suffered.
These. in essence, are the ultimate al
legations. These allegations are spe-
officially danfod
MARKET Fixes PRICE.
THE defendants do not fix the purchase
price of cattle by agreement. The pur-
chase price is fixed by the market con-
ditions which neither these defendants
nor any one controls, or can control, and
that purchase price has riser steadily
during the year.
'The defendants do not fix and control
the sale price Of fresh meats in the
markets. These meats are sold in direct
competition with dozens and hundreds
of competitors. which make such a thing
impossible. and it is not in fact done.
No rare sale prices of meats by the
packers to the meat dealers. inflated or
excessive.
MEATS ON CLOSE MARGIN.
''On the contrary. fresh meats during
the period covered by the indictment
have been sold by the defendants on
such a close margin. between actual
cost to them and actual sale price that
$3.50 will much exceed the average profit
per head on cattle and one-Quarter of i
cent per pound will exceed the average
profit on dressed beef.
I'VE will show that the defendants. by
the best business methods and the great
est economies, have in fact earned less
than 10 per cent per year on their actual
money investments. We will show that
the public has not suffered an injury,
but has reaped a great benefit by the
business operations of the defendants"
