The only United States line of vessels
plying between this port and the River
Plata nd having refrgorating ships, is
the lamport Il Holt, which every 10 days
has ship from the Argentine coming in
at pier eight, Brooklyn. The understand
ing is that all the carrying facilities of
this line are now under contract to the
Armours, or virtually to what is known
colloquially as the beef trust. To an in
timation that the United states govern
mont may attack this contract as in re-
straint of trade, Mr. Armour is scorn-
fully defiant. He does not think law can
touch the contract.
The department of Justice may think
otherwise. MauifestlN the purpose of the
Underwood law to reduce the cost Of liv-
ing, particularly the cost of meats. is de-
foated, If trust can monopolize com
munications with the Argentine with
