Future Action Unknown.

The acquittal of the packers ends

has no appeal.
AT the department of justice II WAS
said the outcome of the trial would in
crease the difficulty of the govern
ments task OF securing convictions
under the criminal clause OF the Sher-
man antitrust law. The officials
added. however, that It was premature
to forecast the ultimate standing OF
that clause before courts and juries.
Before generalizing as to the suffi-
cheney or insufficiency of the criminal
section, the government intends to
await the outcome of some of the
pending prosecutions, including the
cases against the United Shoe Ma
chlnery company. the American Sugar
Refining company and the National
Cash Register company.
II was pointed out that only In one
instance involving industrial questions
had the government obtained convic-
tions of individuals under the Sherman
laws criminal section. That was In
the case of the so-called turpentfne
trust. which now is on appeal to the
supreme court.
