PENDANT companies and entered de-
murrer to the indictment on behalf of
the defendant companies, challenging
its legal sufticiency.
Arguments on the demurrer were
heard by Judge Amidon in federal
court August 20.
Pierce Butler of St. Paul made the
principal argument for the defense.
He argued that the Indictment was
faulty in that it did not 60 in to de.
tails showing the manner or means by
which the alleged monopoly was work

defendants were engaged in interstate
commerce and because it did not
