roads, comprising practically all lines
east of Chicago and north of the Nor
folk & Western. refused to grant an
increase in wages demanded by their
locomotive engineers.
The engineers demand, presented
Jan. %, was for an increase amount
ing to about 10 per cent year The
railroads refusal is based on the as
sertion that they are financially un-
able to bear the increased expense.
The reply was presented at Joint
meeting OF Committees representing
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi.
neers and twelve presidents and gen.
eral managers of the railroads.
The railroads point out that the pro-
posed increase will amount to $685..
1872 annually. This increase. they say.
would be equivalent to placing on
their property lien Of $1SS.S44,S1s Of
I per cent securities which would have
preference over first mortgage bonds.
land to just that extent would lessen
the ability of the roads to make the
improvements necessary to increase
the efficiency of their service and to
insure greater safety to the public and
employees"

Chicago, March 27.-Not guilty wat
the verdict which the jury returned
In the trial of the ten Chicago packers

ton of the criminal sections of the

tional Packing company.
All Defendants In Court.
All the defendants were in court
when the verdict was reported. The
verdict came as surprise to many
who had been watching the case.
In the trial the government contend
ID:
That prior to 1902 prices were fixed,
shipments regulated and territory d.
vided by the old beef pool which met
every Tuesday.
That after the old beef pool dis
solved in 1902 the packers held secret
meetings at each others homes.
That the National Packing company,
Bence its organization in 1908. has
been used as the clearing house for
the alleged combination.
That the packers adopted test cost
and margin system which was used in
the purchase of cattle and the sale Of
fresh meat.
That the allowances made for by
products in figuring the test cost were
Inadequate and the cost" used by the
packers was fictitious and higher than
the actual cost.
That the representatives of the diff
ferent companies in New York, Bos-
ton and other eastern cities exchanged
information in regard to prices and
shipments and telegraphed the figures
to their superiors in Chicago.
That the violation of the Sherman
law by the packers has been continu-
pus and practically uninterrupted
since 1898.
The trial was one of the longest
criminal trials in the history of the
federal courts. 1t began Dec. 6, 1911,
and the jury was sworn in Dec. 10.
The first witness was called by the
government Dec. 26. The government
put forty.nin witnesses on the stand
and introduced LASS documents in evil
dence. The record of the case con-
tains 100000 words.
1t is estimated that the trial cost
the packers 100000, and the govern
ment about 100000.
