TRUST FIGHT TODAY Last Technicality Raised by Packers is Being Thrash ed Out. ANTI-TRUST LAW AT STAKE If Judge Kolisaat "Should Happen" to I Sulci Against C"orKirations, Gov ernment .May Forstull Appeol to Supreme Court. Chicago, 111., Nov. 16. In the hear ing of the United States government versus J. Ogden Armour and nine other beef barons, before Judge Kohl saat In the United States circuit court, trday will be threshed out the last technicality, raised by the packers to gain time In order to more effectually fight, impending jail sentences, for violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. , Judge Kohlsaat has already ruled that he can reverse a decision of a dis trict Judge In his own circuit, which establishes a precedent. Today he will rule on the constitu- tlonality of the penal provision of tha anti-trust law. The packers alleged the penal pro vision is unconstitutional, as it does not set a standard by which a vio lation of law can be measured, or In other words it is too indefinite.
