JERSEY INDICTS
MEAT TRUST
Six Companies and q Packers
Charged With Conspiracy.
ALL MUST STAND TRIAL

Conviction Under the Law Provides a
Maximum Penalty of Three Years
Imprisonment or a $1,000 Fine or
Roth-Prosecutor Says None Will Be
Spared.
Six packing companies and twenty
one packers, many of them million
aires were indeed by a Hudson
county grand jury at Jersey City. N. J.,
charged with conspiracy in limiting
the supply of meat and poultry.
The indictment is drawn under the
Law of New Jersey, which provides
upon conviction a maximum penalty
Of three years in the penitentiary or a
$1,000 fine, or both. The offense is ex-
traditable, which means that practi-
cally all the meat barons of this coun-
try must either successfully resist ex-
tradition or come to Jersey City for
trial.
Pierre Garven. the public prosecutor
of Hudson county, announced that he
would forthwith notify the defendants
OF their indictment and would be ready
to force extradition in each and every
case where the individual concerned is
not willing to face trial voluntarily.
None, he says, will be spared.
Names of Indicted.
The defendants as named are as
follows:

The indictment, which bristles in its
arraignment of the men named, also
refers to divers others as being re
not specified. The foregoing list OF
names. it will be seen, represents the
very backbone of the great packing
industry of this country, containing
as it does two Armours. three Swifts
and two Morrises, all for the most
part residents of Chicago, togethe-
with less important figures in the
packing world. Their indictment
brings to a climax the first concerted
effort in the east to fix responsibility
for the prevailing abnormally high
price of commodities.
Jersey City. as a cold storage cen
ter, where the packing companies o.
the west maintain vast warehouses il
which countless thousands of pound.
of meat and poultry are stored, proved
a fruitful source of investigation More
than a month ago the inquiry by the
grand Jury was started. cold storage
plants were inspected. witnesses were
examined and the indictment was
handed up in the supreme court be
fore Justices Blair and Carey.

Four Members Absent

One of the leading republican sena
-ors on the committee said:
When the committee met this
morning there were but eight of
the II members present In view
of the Importance of the subject of
the investigation, the republican
members felt, view of the fact that
DENLY and Olmstead were absent,
that an adjournment should be
taken until next Friday to give
them an opportunity to be here
a motion was made to adjourn
until Friday. but the motion failed
by A vote of four to four.
The republican members of the
committee, under the circum-
stances, felt that 1t was unfair and
unjust to proceed with the case
when only eight members were
present.
Such a hurried report. rushed
through in this manner and under
these circums tances by only five of
the twelves members of the COM
1nittee. can be of little value to fair
minded and reasonable men. 1t is
quite probable that it was nothing
more than the play of party politics
of the groSSeSt kind.

On the question as to whether the

whether the question of quorum being

1t is a question of parliamentary law
