Packers Fight For Time In Sherman Trust Case
Chicago reports indicted members of the beef trust plan to use every technical delay to avoid trial as government moves to dismiss the equity suit. Attorney George T. Buckingham sought time to file objections to the dismissal of the suit meant to enjoin National Packing from Sherman act violations. The government case was dismissed by Attorney General Wickersham to prevent the packers from escaping criminal indictments. Counsel for the packers argue the government lacks power to dismiss the equity suit, viewing it as a supplemental action seeking contempt punishment for past court orders.
