BEEF TRUST LOSES,
SHERMAN ACT IS
UPHELD BY COURT
Demurrers of the Indicted
Packers Overruled and All
Must Stand Trial.

CHICAGO. May 1.-THE demryrors ~
the Chicago packers in the beet trus 9
case were overruled to-day by judge
Carpenter in the L. $. District Court.
In his ruling the Judge declared that
the sherman antitrust law. which had
been attacked by the packers. IS con-
stitutionai.
He also held that the Indictment
charging j. Ogden Armour and Other
packers with violating its provisions
is valid.
Judge Carpenters decision NAV have
an indirect bearing on all entl-t-ust
litigation In tho United States, in up-
holding the completeness and stability
OF the sherman act. OF this feature,
the court said
Tho statute has been the subject
of discussion for twenty years. The
supreme Court OF the United Statcs
many times has sustained DEGREES
which restrained Violations o, IT,"
AS to the stability Of the Indictment.
the Court said:
y do not Zee how the Grand Jury
could have made the charge more d.an-
Ito, and believe 1t Is sufficiently speclH,
To satisfy tho substantive law.
Tho whole plan Chat OF the packers
as alleged in the Indictment, from It's
inception appears plainly to be one 10

Ing prices among the three groups Of
d~cfeniants. beginning with the agree
ment not TO bid agains, each othor.
and In fact to bid exactly the ranc
amounts for IKE grades OF live stock,
hiking a uniform selling price and ending
with liking a uniform price Of sale and
an apport!onment among themselves Of
the total business done.
To Control Production.
II am OF the opinion that tho facts
stated IN the indictments show clearly
4 plan or scheme organized and put In
operation by the Defendants, the ulti-
mate purpose of which was 20 control
the production, sale and distribution OF
fresh meat b. throughout a large section
OF this country. and, as Incidental 20
that control. to lower prices 20 the
producer Of the raw material and raise
prices 20 tho consumer OF the finished
product. While the facts do not dis
close an absolute monopoly, yet the

they control indicates that they intend
