Directors of Great Meat Concerns
BY a Grand Jury in Hudson Coun'
ty, N. J.
New York.-Six great packing
companies and twenty-one packers,
several of them multi-millionaires, So
cially and industrially prominent,
have been indicted by a grand jury in
Hudson county, New Jersey, charged
with conspiracy in limiting the supply
of meat and poultry.
The indictment is drawn up under
the law of New Jersey, which pro-
vides, upon conviction, a maximum
penalty of three years in the peniten-
tiary, or a $1,000 fine, or both. The
offense is extraditable, which means
that practically the meat barons OF
this country must either successfully
escape eXtradition or come to Jersey
City for trial.
Will Force Extradition
Pierre Garven, the public prosecu-
tor of Hudson county, announced that
he would forthwith notify the defend
ants of the Indictment and would be
ready to force extradition in every
case where the individual concerned
is not willing to face trial voluntarily.
None, he says, will be spared.
Backbone of Industry.
The men indicted represent the
very best backbone of the great pack
ing industry, two ArmOurs, three
Swifts and two Morrises, all for the
most part residents of Chicago, to-
gether 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
prices of commodities.
