Defense argues no Sherman Act violation in meat packing case
Attorney for the defendants tells the jury they will prove there has been no violation of the Sherman Anti Trust Law. He notes objections were overruled and asserts the government relies too much on circumstantial evidence. The defense will emphasize lack of undue injury to the public and argue profits were modest, with packers earning under ten percent on actual money invested. The history of a giant merger plan and the formation of the National Packing Company are discussed as context.
