GOLD STORAGE
TRAIL WARM
Officials Believe Developments
Will Lead to Prosecutions.
VIGOROUS PROBE KEPT UP.
Combination Alleged To Be Among
Commission Merchants and Pro-
ducers, Not Plant
Owners.
tcopyrIght.l

Washington. Investigation of the
coId-storage trust" by the Department
Of Justice has progressed SO far that
officials are confident they have found
trails which eventually will lead to
prosecutions in the courts.
Although the operations of the deal
ers, believed to be leaders in the COM
bination, have been confined to sew
eral large cities, the department has
redoubled its vigor in the last few
weeks. Officials expect to uncover
evidence which will connect these
dealers and make them amenable to
the Sherman Antitrust act.
Within the last few days requests
have reached Washington from several
United States District Attorneys for
help to carrying on the Investigations.
Several special agents have been de-
tailed for this work. Their reports
probably will be made to Washington
in the next few weeks and the Attor-
ney General and his assistants will
determine the advisability of beginning
antitrust proceedings.
Although department officials are
unwilling to discuss the cold-storage
investigation, it is known that the gen.
eral impression that the owners of
cold-storage plants are involved in the
alleged combination is incorrect. In
only few instances do the owners
make use of their plants for storing
their own products. In practically
every case commission merchants and
producers themselves rent cold-storage
space. The combination which the
department will prosecute if sufficient
evidence is forthcoming will be among
the commission merchants.

money to build six ships requiring $5,-
