CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-About fifty
million dollars worth Of beef pack
ing house magnates waited with ap-
prehensive mien today when Uncle
Sans prosecutors strove to make
them stand immediate trial for crimi-
nal conspiracy in restraint of trade.
A brand new legal ENHANCEMENT
was awaiting decision today by Cir
cult Judge G. c. Kohlsaat, the last
desperate technicality raised by the
beef barons to gain time in the fight
against possible jail terms. Judge
| Kohlsaat has already held that he
can review the decision of a dis
trict judge in his own circuit-a new
precedent in the law.
Today the question upon which
Judge Kohlsaat ruled was as to the
constitutionality of the penal prov-
sion of the Sherman antitrust law
In the writ of habeas corpus, counsel
for the packing house magnates, called
up the question of fact-that is wheth-
er there is or is not a conspiracy to
monopolize the trade in meat and
packing house products generally
from the question of law-that il
whether the penal section OF the Sher
man act to regulate commerce is vali'
and constitutionally drawn. The de
PENDANTS claim the law is defectiv
in that II does nos set up any stand
ard BY which violation may be meas
ured. that it is indefinite.
Only the Supreme Court of th
United States can settle the questio
with finality. But adjudication of tn
issue in the highest court will tax
at least a year Therefore the govern
ment prosecutors today went int
court hoping against hope that the
would be able to forestall an appea
to that tribunal until after actua
trial on the question Of fact and Law
set for Monday-had been begun. Il
this way the appeal would go to tn
highest court in connection with tn
appeal in the case proper.
