AFTER GROCERS' TRUST.
Government Seeks TO Dissolve Asso-
citation of Grocery Dealers.

Washington.-At last the cry OF
the housewife has been heard. The
government has come to her relief
and has taken steps to see that the
prices of groceries shall be lowered.
There has been much talk about
the higher cost of living, and no one
has appreciated it more than the wo-
men who have noticed the tightening
of their pocketbooks and of their
market baskets at the same time.
1t is all very we'll for the men that
the government should pursue the
tobacco trust, the Standard Oil, the
plate glass, the plumbers, and all the
other trusts, but these things interest
the women but little, when they see
the prices of practically everything
they want on their breakfast and din
ner tables steadily climbing higher
and getting out of reach.
So now the Southern Grocery Trust
has been brought to account and its
officers are to be forced to explain
the reason for the high prices which
it is alleged their combination has
maintained. 1t is believed that the ef-
feet of the action will be felt by other
sections and will result in restricting
the activity of other similar organi-
cations.
Besides appealing to the court to
dissolve the association itself and de-
clare it illegal, the government asks
that every one of its 500 members or
more be forever prohibited from en-
tering into any agreement among
themselves as to the prices at which
they should sell the necessities of life.
The officers of the association who
are to be brought into court at Bir-
mingham, Alabama, are:
President. Jos. H. McLaurin, of
Florida: vice president. L. NJ. Hooper,
of Alabama; second vice president F.
f. Hashagen, of North Carolina:
treasurer, c. w. Bartleson. of Flori-
da. and secretary, Robert Moore. of
Alabama, together with nine other
constituting the advisory board Of
ficers of the big grocery concerns in
Birmingham are also to be hauled to
the bar.
They are alleged to be wholesale
groeers dealing in interstate commerce
in sugar, flour, cakes and crackers.
soap and washing powders. cereals,
soda and baking powders, salt, milk
products, canned goods, srups and
other necessities of life. They are
charged with being engaged in, con-
spiracy to maintain prices. It is al
legged that hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been distributed to men,
bers of the association by its officers
as reward for maintaining prices
and other sums have been assessed
as fines and penalties for undersell-
ing the price list. -
The association is a close corpor-
alton and no outsider could get in
without the consent of the other men,
bers.

1t is said that President Taft first
formed an admiration for Merton
when he called at the White House
one day on routine matter. Conver-
sation turned into another channel
and the executive casually expressed
an opinion on a certain subject. Nor
ton very quietly took the opposite
view. And he told the president
why he advanced further facts to
support his position, and, finally, got
the executive to admit that his was
the right way. 1t was all done tact
fully, and yet with display Of back
bone, that won Taft right away
