One of the late proofs of this is the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court in the beef trust case.
The court affirms the existence of all of the criminal practices popularly charged against the trust.
The decision condemns as an unlawful restraint of trade the combination between independent dealers to suppress all competition in the purchase of live stock thus situated.
It condemns as an unlawful restraint of trade the combination between such dealers for the purpose of fixing and maintaining uniform prices in the sale of meat throughout the country.
It condemns as an unlawful restraint of trade the combination between such dealers to obtain preferential rates for the transportation of their product by common carriers.
Fortunately for the country we have as president a man who will insist on having the laws obeyed, and unless the orders of the court are complied with there is a good prospect to some millionaire beef trust men facing a prison door.
