WASHINGTON, I). 0., March 24. -Tho sentencing of Prcsidcht Gomp- ors, Vice-President Mitchell and Sec retary Morrison of tho American Federation of Labor to jail for con tempt may be used as a precedent by the government in tho notion against members of the alleged meat trust. The big packers, named individual ly in the bill that seeks tho dissolu tion of tho National Packing com pany, may be cited for contempt for violating an injunction issued by Federal Judge 1'cter S. Grosscup nud prohibiting them from operating in a combination. The government in its bill ngainst tho National company, alleges that this injunction hns been violntcd. If tho contention is proved, it is inti inntrd by federal attorneys here, the packers named will xs cited for con tempt nnd that tho GomporH case will be used as n precedent for tho im- position of jail sentences. Tho fedoral attorneys first must prove that the National is a combi nation in rest mint of trado before they can procure the citation of tho puckers. It is believed Hint tho fed eral officials will seek tho punish ment of the packers through the contempt proceedings, provided a case bo prov d rather than through direct prosecution.
