AS BUTTER PRICE SCARS

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-Consumers OF
butter who are today paying nearly so
CCnts a pound for this luxury" here
and 90 cents In New York. will have
70 government relief aud the price
may go on soaring indefinitely.
Ii was learned on the highest auth
ority today that the government In
the investigation OF the Chicago But
ter end Egg Board and allied organi-
cations, which has been going on for
months. has found no evidence on
which to base charge OF conspiracy
in restraint of trade or an attempt
even TO unlawfully innate prices. The
taking OF testimony before Master In
Chancery Morrison will be resumed
here tomorrow. in the hope that the
government may hit upon some tangi-
BILE evidence on which TO base applica-
ton for An Injunction dissolving the
butter and egg board and criminal ac-
ton against its members. So far, II
evidence In possession OF the depart
is said. there is absolutely no such
ment OF justice.
IL was explained today by a party
in position to know that the inten.
! tons OF the government that the but
ter board Is regarded simply as a
meeting OF individuals who give their
individual opinions as TO what they
will pay for butter and what they will
sell IL for. No effort is made TO con
troll the trade or TO corner the supply.
Others may buy butter at their own
prices and sell il for what they see
at. IL is declared that the actions OF
the firms composing the butter board
have not yet been shown in any de-
gree to violate any provision OF the
antitrust laws.
