BEEF TRUST INQUIRY HERE
Government Delves Into Busl'
ness Methods of Big Packers.

The methods OF business employed In
this city by the Beef Trust were delVed
into Yesterday b. W. :. Gregg. Special
Deputy Attorney General, who examined
witnesses before the federal grand jury
Of this district In an effort 10 secure addi-
Ional evidence for the prosecution OF the
trust. which the United States government
Is expected 10 begin in Chicago next month.
II was said yesterday that no indictments
will be returned in this city, and that
tho whole proceeding before this grand jury
was simply TO aid the Chicago investiga-
ton. as witnesses residing in this Jufis-
diction could not be summoned before the
Chicago grand jury. Mr.. Gregg conducted
similar examinations In New orleans last
week.
The InJictmen, returned in Chicago. az
amended on December Is, 1910, charged the
National Packing Company. its ten SUD-
sidiary companies and ten of the chief in
dividuals connected with the trust. OF hav-
ing entered into a combination in restraint
Of trade They we're also charged WIN
holding weekly conferences. at which the
meat trade in various states was controlled.
and II Is alleged that the packers had d.
vided tho business among themselves 80
that the Swift group Of companies got q
per cent, the Armour group % per cent
and the Morris group l3 per cent Of the
business.
The Investigation In this city is confined
70 the business organization and the con-
nectons Of the trust here. Charges have
been made that the trust has acquired the
New York Butchers Dressed Meat Com
psnv, which was originally intended 10
fight the trust, and It was also said that
the packers combined 10 acquire stock OF
Schwar1schild & Sulzberger when they at
tempted TO wrest the control Of that firm
