Beef Trust Decision Upheld by Supreme Court
The U S Supreme Court unanimously sustains Judge Grosscup's injunction against the Beef Trust, affirming that Swift Co and related firms fixed live cattle and dressed beef prices. Moody gains a personal triumph and the government gains a powerful tool to enforce restraint of trade with potential contempt prosecutions. The ruling targets price fixing, discriminatory rates, and a blacklist, affecting cattlemen, farmers, and consumers nationally.
