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
