Judge Rules on Sherman Act Demurrers in Meats Case
In Chicago Judge George A. Carpenter refused oral argument on rehearing demurrers by indicted Chicago meat packers. He indicated the Supreme Court ruling affects only what constitutes a violation, not the penalty clauses of the Sherman Act, and gave a week to file briefs. The packers argue the act is void if restraint of trade is not known beforehand. Stocks rise on Wall Street after Standard Oil decision led by United States Steel.
