J. J. ROBERTS, Clerk. H. R: Jan 11-18 GRANTS STAY OF TEN DAYS Federal Judge Declines to Quash Indictments. PACKERS MUST STAND TRIAL Efforts of ‘tndicted Men to Escape Criminal Prosecution on Ground That Government Will Proceed by injunction Fails—Judge Carpenter Allows Time to Enter Further Motions. Chicago, Jan. 16 —The efforts of the indicted Chicago meat packers to have criminal prosecution against them nul- Hfied on the ground that the govern- ment has elected to proceed by injunc- tion and the only course open is to cite them for contempt of court, came to nothing when Judge George A. Car- penter of the United States district court, denied the motion of the pack- ers and ordered. a stay of ten days in which to enter:further motions before Pleading to the indictments. Uniess other preliminary motions are interposed within the next ten days the effect of Judge Carpenter’s ruling. will be the immediate arraign- ment of the packers, who are under criminal indictment for alleged viola- tion of section 2 of the Sherman anti- trust act, which makes every con- spiracy or attempt to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the states or foreign nations a misde- meanor punishable by fine and impris- onment. As soon as it became known in Washington that the federal court had shattered the “immunity” plea of the packers orders were sent to the gov- ernment lawyers tu meet there as soon as possible for a conference, History of the Case. The government filed a bill in equity im the United States district court for the Northern district of Minois in 1902 against . twenty-six meat packers, charging a combination to restrain competition in violation of the Sher- man act. The case came first before K. M. Landis, who, having been attor- ney for several of the packers before ‘taking his seat on the federal bench, was ‘disqualified, and the case was heard by Judge Peter Grosscup. The injunction was granted and made permanent and on appeal to the United States supreme court af- firmed. Two vears later the National Packing company, a holding concern, was organized to take over the s of ‘numerous independent packing companies and issue its own stock in return. Injunction proceedings were brought against the National Pack- ing company and were pending at the time the indictments were filed against the individual packers. These injunction. proceedings have since been withdrawn. Last July the federal grand jury returned true bills against Louis F. Swift, Edward F. Swift, Charles H. Swift, Frank A. Fowler and Edward Tilden, of Swift & Co.; J. Ogden Ar- mour, Arthur Meeker and Thomas J. Connors, of the Armeur Packing company, and Edward Morris and Louis H. Heyman, of Morris & Co. The indictments alleged violations of the Sherman act subsequent to the Grosscup injunction and were in line with the government’s policy to at- tack wronkdoers individually as well as corporately. . Packers Not Yet Arraigned. Various dilatory motions have been entered since the indictments issued and the packers have not yet been arraigned. The last and most bit- terly fought contention was that the government, having obtained an in- junction, any subsequent violations of the Sherman act were in contempt of court. The packers attempted to have the indictments quashed on this ground, thus making the injunction a bar to any subsequent criminal proceedings and themselves immune from punish- ment other than the court may in- flict of its own initiative by way of fine against the corporations enjoined. Judge Carpenter held that the gov- ernment, by proceeding in equity to enjoin a continuing violation of the Sherman act, does not thereby confine itself tc that procedure but may prosecute criminally for distinctive violations, subsequent to the injunc- tion.
