Mr. Rockefeller testified that the
article published December L IN the

having caused a system of peonage
to be adopted by a breakfast food
company of Chicago was false in ey-

Clarence J. Shearn, attorney for

officers of the Star publishing Co.

now generally admitted by science
to be obtainable only through the
cold storage treatment.
The plant will have initial capac-
