TRUST PLEA THEIR DEFENCE
Wholesale Butchers Fight Bill OF
N. Y. Dressed Meat Co.

The Moses Straus Company, wholesale
butchers, which is being sued for sls,9s9 by
the New York Dressed Meat Company. has
filed an answer. In which IL alleges that
the plaintiff is part Of the so-called meat
trust" which the Strauss company SAYS
includes the Armour. Swift. Morris and
other concerns dealing in meat
These people. II is alleged, have entered
into q conspiracy to control the business,
| regulate the output and fix the prices, also
dictate who shall be supplied. and In sew
eral instances have absorbed or driven out
Of business those who did not comply with
their instructions.
The defendants applied to Justice Giege-
rich yesterday for an open commission TO
examine witnesses in support of their con-
tention This was refused by the court FOR
the reasons, first. that the defendants had
waited too long to make the application.
and, second. because Justice Giegerich was
not sure that the defence was valid one.
In the answer il Is alleged that "the plain
tiffs were combined in viola tion Of the laws
of the United States" Counsel for the
plaintiff in opposing the motion for the
commission said that the defendant was
trying TO do what the government had
failed TO do
The plaintiffs claim is for meat sup
piled TO the Straus Company. The defend
ants say that they have refused to pay be-
cause they learned that the New York
Dressed Meat Company Joined the combi-
nation OF those controlling the meat market
in 1907, and although before that time the
straus Company bought from many other
companies. they were compelled to buy at
prices fixed by the combination because the
supply from independent sources was mad
equate to supply the market
The prices charged were unreasonable
and excessive. the defendants assert and
the combination was organized TO stihe
competition and enhance prices.
