II IL the intention Of Attorney General
McReynolds 10 begin prosecutions as soon

The prosecution. 1t was said to-day. would
bee under the antitrust law and the pure
food law. which prohibits the selling OF
cold storage eggs FOR fresh eggs. Con-
sumers leagues I'm various sections OF
the United States say they have evidence
upon which To base prosecution. but the
Department OF Justice agents will make

Il am convinced that the hen Is not
to blame for the high price of eggs. [
