grand jury of the United states Court
for the Southern district OF Georgia
handed down indictments today.
charging an infringement Of the anti
trust laws on the part of three large
corporations and two individuals. The
Atlantic Coast Line Railway and
Seaboard Air Line Railway were each
jointly indicted with the Merchants
and Miners Transportation Company.
for specific violations OF the Sherman
antitrust and Elkins laws. while
Harvie Miller and Morris Miller. grain
merchants and members of the
firm of L. F. Miller q Sons, of Phil
adelphia, were the individuals to feel
the wrath of the Government.
The Merchants and Miners Trans
portation Company was indicted
three times. once as a sole offender
and twice in connection with the
Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic
Coast Line railways. Norris F. Mil
ler and Harvfe C. Miller, of Philadel-
phia, were Immediately arrested and
placed under bends Of $4,000 each.
The indictments are lengthy. COW

cations are made Of the acts which con-
stitute the alleged attractions of the

States Court for the Soathsra district
Of Georgia through their shipments
into this district over the lines OF the
three corporations indisted. The bs-
ginning %. the investigation agsinst
the defendants arose from complaints
egfstered with the Inter State. conn
merce commission during the summer
to the effect that the Miller irm had
effectively destroyed competition In
grain shipments ever an enormous
territory. embracing points along the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers and In the
South Atlantic States. PROCEEDINGS
were held before Commissioner Glenn
ents in Philadelphia during July and
the revelations were sufficient to
start the powerful machinery of the
Government against not only the Mil
er firm, but also the Intermediates.
The first connection of the rail-
roads and the Miller arose during the
hearing of Commissioner Clements, IL
is said, in which il developed the
Pennsylvania system had sold it's
Philadelphia elevator to the Keystone
Elevator Company. l.. f. Miller G.
Son controlled this latter company
and were responsible for shipments
made to the South over both the rail-
roads indicted and upon vessels to
the steamship company, at rates
much less than those on file with the
commission.
In addition to this infraction of the
law IT was found that grain shipped
from Western to Eastern points en-
joined the export rates, Instead Of do
mestic, and n saving of from one to
three cents on each hundred pounCs
was effected by the Philadelphia firm.
