Wholesale Indictments.
CHICAGO, June 2.-Sixteen indi-
viduals and nine firms dealing in but
ter and eggs were indicted by the
federal grand jury this afternoon for
alleged violation of the Sherman an
THRUST law
The indictments which were re-
turned before Federal Judge Lands
charged that the defendants have
been dealing in eggs for future deliv-
cry; that the reports of the trades as
made on the Chicago butter and egg
board have been sent throughout the
United States and that the sellers of
eggs throughout the country have
based their prices on the quotation of
the Chicago exchange in the belief
that such quotations reflect the true
market conditions at Chicago.
The charges allege that in order to
accomplish their purpose and to pro-
duce quotations for eggs on the ex-
change higher than the true market
price. the defendants adopted and
followed practice Of making ffcti-
tious purchases and sales of eggs
among themselves at prices higher
than the true market price prevailing
at the time of such purchases, with
out intending that the eggs should be
delivered.
AS a result of these operations, &C
cording to the indictment, the peo-
pie of the United States have been
paying higher prices for eggs than
they would have paid if this practice
had not been followed"
All of the defendants are members
of the Chicago butter and egg board.
That the government is "by no
means finished was the statement of
Robert w. Chi1ds, special attorney
general, in charge of the food investi-
cation here when asked If thsse in
dictments against the egg dealers
would conclude the governments
of food exploiters.
The investigation has only
started" Childs said, land if in our
Investigation any more violations OF
the antitrust act are discovered, in
dictments are sure to follow.
