crease Of Butter Making.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE government
today filed civil antitrust suit
against the Elgin Board of Trade,

sweeping charges of conspiracy to fix

natural increase In the volume of the
butter making business has been cur
tailed, says the government, and
prices enhanced, especially during the
winter.
The government seeks to enjoin
these associations from quoting or
publishing figures purporting to be
market prices" unless they are based
on bona-fde butter sales. Elgin ex-
change butter prices are declared not
to be the result of free and open COM
petition. The Elgin price fixing COM
mittee is dominated by the large but
ter manufactures known as central
izers" and by cold storage concerns.
From May to August, when the bulk
of the nations butter supply was
made, the centralizing concern is al
legged to have purchased the surplus
butter and stored it for winter high
prices.
The American Association of Cream.
cry Butter Manufacturers is composed
of forty-six firms. The alleged con-
spiracy began five years ago.
