Beef Trust Case Revived In U S Court Fight
In Chicago the beef trust case returned to life as arguments before Judge Grosscup in the U S circuit court renewed the demurrer filed in August. John S. Miller for the packers argued the bill for injunction is multifarious and lacks detail of any offense under federal statutes. He said the bill fails to allege restraint of interstate or foreign commerce and that shipping commodities to agents in any state did not amount to interstate commerce.
