BUTTER TRUST C0NSP|RES AGAINST
FARMER AND CONSUMER, CHARGE IN SUIT

ers were attacked by the federal gov
ernment in civil antitrust suit
filed here today. The government
asks for the dissolution OF both con-
Germs.
Sweeping charges of conspiracy to
Tx arbitrarily the price of butter in
the interests OF big manufacturers
and cold storage concerns. to the det-
rlment OF the farmer and other small
producers and to the consumer, are
made by Attorney General Wicker
sham against these organizations,
which he would destroy as being in
violation of the Sherman law.
Besides dissolution. the govern
ment seeks to enjoin the defendants
from fixing prices or quoting Elgin
butter prices as the stock quotation
OF butter. The petition declares that.
before summer of each year the rep
resentatiyes of the butter trust go
through the butter producing area
OF the country and contract with the
small manufacturers for the seasons
supply based on the figures of the
Elsin Board of Trade.
The officers of the American
Creamery Butter Association deny
that the organization ever attempted
to fix the price of butter, or that it
has any connection with the Elgin
Board of Trade.

s68lOOO PAID OUT BY FRUIT
GROWERS ASSOCIATION TO DATE
Manager Howard G. Fletcher Tells Of Market Conditions
Fruit Has Been Consigned Much Exporting This year
Satisfactory Prices Received

careful in their spraying and the care
" their crop, will make good money
this year and the large majority of
the growers should be able to come
out clear with a good living in spite
of the many setbacks that have been
given TO the flooded market In the
east
Satisfied With Results.
The management of the local asso-
ciation feels satisfied that the largest
possible prices have been received for
the Colorado product this year and that
under the present system OF market
ing the superlative was reached.
Other sections all over the country re-
ceived lower prices than The local as
sociation and the growers can offer
nothing but praise 10 Manager Fletch-
er and his corps OF workers for secur-
Ing the top market quotations.
Whenever there was a spurt In price
the Grand Valley product cnfed on
the best of II.
The association has shipped 2.l34
cars 10 date and great many more
prices are holding up very well.
In referring 10 an article recently
published in the Clifton paper con-
corning the entire lack of fruit from
Grand Valley In Des Moines, Mr..
Fletcher said: The reason we have
placed so little of our fruit in Iowa Is
because they will never pay the price
We ask. always trying TO dicker us
down ten or Is cents per box on our
products. We have more trouble
placing fruit in Iowa cities than In any
other state. The commission men try
TO buy so close that they fail TO buy
our fruit because we won't sell il at
their figures, | can prove this by cor
respondence ! have in my desk" In
spite of this fact. Iowa used several
cars of Grand Valley fruit earlier in
the season.
The local association is. still busy
sending out fruit but The operating
force has been cut down as much as
possible and few save the regular em-
ployees remain.
The daily sentinel., 1912-12-14

The Grand junction Fruit Growers
association has paid out to the fruit
growers of Grand Valley so far this
year in round numbers the sum of

The associntion management has
succeeded In getting better prices for

loupes,. by good margin than any of
the association or shippers In Colo

The best markets all over the country
this year.
The shipments have reached nearly
