CORNER IN ONIONS;
 48 ARE INDICTED
Federal Grand Jury at Boston Finds Truth to Monopoly Charge

z Boston, May 25.-Eighty-eight cor porations and individuals were indict- ed by the federal grand jury here late yesterday for conspiring to monopo- Ike interstate commerce in onions. The indictments. which were returned as result of nation wide inquiry into the cost. of food condActed last winter by United States Attorney George w. Anderson df this city, al- lege that the- defendants divided up the territory, of the country among them for the purpose of eisnainating Acompetition: that maximum prices were fixed for the purchase of onions. and that the supply was hoarded in order to increase prices.
 MT. Anderson estimated that the an-s nual crop of onions amounted to 200- 0o0.000 pounds, three-fourths of which, he said, was alleged to have been controlled by the defendants
 ''The gist of the charge" he said. 'as that the defendants have main- tained a national association com posed of large onion dealers who buy tip the bulk of the onions of the northern state during the summer and O0Aly AAAs 6SOIAAS tACux 4A WSAACAOuSC0 owned or controlled by the various members and putting them upon the market from September to April. The government charges that this associa- tion has had had dominating and illegal control of the onion trade for the last three years.
 The government expects to show that as early as September, 1916, at 4f ant SHR ,se then harvested, was in control of the members of this association. The headquarters of the association are at Kenton, Ohio, where the regular an- nual meeting was held in July.
 Monthly Meetings Held.
 ''It is a part of the plan of this asso- eiation to have monthly meetings in various parts of the country, so as to get as large an attendance as possible of members who might otherwise be reached only through the malls. Af- ter these monthly meeting the Sec retary Issues to the members printed confidential reports containing sum mary review of the amount of onions available in various producing sec ttons, followed by such suggestions as: 4e@ AC Ou1h OA tHO OulOn crop IS now In the hands of spectators. fully 75 per cent. of whom are members of this association. This reports shows that the movement for the entire United States need be only eighty cars per day.
 For the 1916 crop the producers probably received less than cents per pound. In midwinter many of these onions were sold to retailers, and through them to consumers, at 10 to h6 cents a pound. It is claimed by the government that this tremendous market between the price accruing to the producer was largely due to the Illegal control of the trade exercised { by this association
 Among the corporations indicted are the John B. Troy company of Rochester, N r.: the Jackson Sobring eOmpany. Inc, of Middleport. N. Y.;

L wish to state to my many friends
and customers that on the 18th day
of September, 1916, bought w. A
Eppler out, lock, stock and barrel in
the town of Wa-Keenev, Kansas, and
since that time I nave owned and
controlled this business all in my own
name. l buy all my goods and pay
cash and take my discounts on every
thing that 1 buy, and L don't owe a
single firm in Kansas City a single
penny for anything. 1 do not give
farmers notes for collateral security
to any firm in Kansas City. I am al
ways for your good will and lots of
business. Now please give me lib
eral share of your patronage.
Yours truly,
A. M. Finley.
While may have sold out my bus
mess at Wa-Keeney, lock, stock and
barrel, and 1 at that time shipped to
Ellis about 81 500 worth of nipple
ments consisting almost entirely of
the Canton line, not because 1 want
ed to, but because the Parlin s. Oren-
dorf Plow company of Kansas City,
Mo-, refused to permit the sale of
their line along with my business
As to using farmers notes as col
lateral to my Kansas City creditors
l am guilty and proud of it, for by
so doing l was able to carry my Gus
toners from four to seven years dur
ing the bad crop years from 1907 to
1914, and my customers were and are
equally proud of it.
But one thing 1 have never been
guilty of is painting spot cash sign
on my store in western Kansas-an-
other thing l am proud of. Neither
do think from my personal expert.
ence-in the implement business that
any man with that rule lived up tic
has any business in the implement
trade here.
L would buy my goods for all cash
and take my discounts on my bills
IF had to do so''-but 1 do not. NV
credit is good and 1 can buy goods on
regular terms from any house L have
contracts with in Kansas City, and
L expect to take notes and use them
as collateral security as long as 1 re.
main in business, and L expect to
continue to be interested in Wa-Kee-
ney and Trego county as long as nv
health permits.
The only reason I ever sold out
lock, stock and barrel in Wa-Keeney
was because my boys were away and
L was unable to secure satisfactory
help to conouct my business.
