Taft orders beef trust prosecution amid high meat prices
The United States Justice Department will prosecute the Chicago beef trust under the Sherman act as President Taft pushes a national action to curb meat prices. Massachusetts considers an industrial commission to summon beef magnates and others, while mass meetings in Boston denounce prices. About 60,000 Boston residents join no meat clubs pledging 30 days of abstinence. A letter from Joseph Squire Company challenges current Boston market prices as too high.
