trumped up charge like this one" said
Attorney Granger today in reference to
the Thrailkill case. which was thrown
out of court by Judge Barnett this

which the prosecution failed to present
its argument Because they didn't
have one with enough clothes on was

yer
Master plumbers of the city We're ac-
cused of attempting to unlawfully pro-
mote their interests and those of few
favored manufacturers of plumbing fix
lures in Chicago, with whom they are
said to be bound by agreement. The
alleged conspiracy is said to have re-
suited in an attempt to prevent prom
erty owners from installing or repair
ing plumbing fixtures or connections in
their homes
OF twenty seven arrests for this ac-
tion, made offense by the prosecu-
tors conception of a city ordinance in
i troduced by the master plumbers this
Thrailkill case is the only one that was
not successful. according to Granger
Fines were attached in all former cases
and the defense compelled to admit de-
feat.
