WASHINGTON. D. C. May 17. Gov
ernment prosecutions of the steel, beef,
bathtub, electric, coal, paper, glass,
steamship nnd sugar trusts. In the opin
ion of lawyers here today, are all likely
to ! gravely affected by tho supremo
court's Standard Oil decision. It prac
tically doublet the prosecution's work in
every case that the restraint of trado
caused by their combinations must bo
proved unreasonable.
For this reason It Is very probablo
that the proceedings of the government
against one of the smaller dusts will bo
abandoned.
In the beef trust proceeding" especially
the "unreasonable" feature of tho su
preme court's decision wilt bo tested.
The beef trust attorneys recently filed
a demurrer to the Indictment round
against J Ogi'en Armour and ton other
packers for conspiracy which was built
almost entirety around tho "unreason
ableness" of the governments contention
