PACKERS CASE TO

Investigating Board Will Con.

ton Of "Big Five"

Washington, Aug. THE govern
ment's case against the five big
PACKERS will be placed before the
federal grand jury which meets at
Chicago three weeks hence. This
means that criminal prosecution will
be instituted.
Charles F. Clyne, federal district
attorney at Chicago, said today that
besides asking indictments under the
criminal section of the Sherman
antitrust law, civil suits would be
prosecuted under the food control
act of congress OF boarding.
The evidence in hand, Attorney
General Palmer declared, indicated
"a clear violation of the antitrust
laws"
The history of all the govern
ment's ANTITRUST prosecutions in Is
years does not a show a single in
dlvidual ever serving a Jail sentence
for violation. There are evidences
that the government hopes for some
in the present campaign.

SPECULATION IS
CAUSE OF RAISE
IN FOOD COSTS
Amount In Cold Storage In
CreaSes as Charge Mounts
Says Federal Trade CON-
mission Report.
BY the Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Although
prices of practically all important
foods have shown a substantial in
crease during the last year, stocks
of food held in storage on June /,
this year. were approximately 20
per cent greater than those held on
.Tune l, 1918, according to a memo
,randum showing the relation be-
tween storage figures and prices is
sued today by the federal trade
commission. Government stocks
were excluded from the comparison.
"The fact that stocks of many
important foods were much larger
on June /, this year, than on the
same date last year." said the COM
missions statement" while prices
were as high or higher, apparently
means that they are being withheld
speculatively for a world demand
which is not now here but which is
expected when hunger-impelled
strikes secure higher wages with
which higher food prices can be
paid"
To show that the "law of supply
and demand is not working" the
commission listed eight staple foods
which on June l showed an increase
in stocks withheld from the market
ranging from three to 298 per cent
over stocks on June |, 1918, and in
each instance there was shown to
have been a substantial advance in
the wholesale price during that
period.
Stocks of frozen fowls showed a
maximum increase of 29S per cent
and the price, despite this fact, in
creased ; cents pound. Wheat
stocks showed an increase of IVA per
cent, with an increase in price of 81
cents; flour stocks an increase of Il
per cent, with an increase in the
price per barrel of nearly So; egg
stocks an increase of 9.8 per cent,
with all increase in price of II cents,
and butter stocks an increase of l29
per cent. with the price soaring II
cents above the last year figure.
All dry storage stocks, according
to the commissions figures, showed
an average increase of l24 per cent.
Of these not listed in the above table
stocks of rye increased 346 per cent;
barley, 207 per cent buckwheat -four
237 per cent and canned tomatoes
202 per cent.
Increases in other cold storage
stocks were shown as follows:
Cured beef, 1903 per cent; frozen
lamb and mutton, 81 per cent; frozen
pork, 20 per cent and picked pork

TRAINING BOARD
WORK FAILS, SAY
WAR CR|PPLES
Hundreds of Complaints Reg
istered Against Intellectual
Results of Federal VoCa-
tionaI Education Agency.

Philadelphia, Aug. 7.-Hundreds
of war cripples throughout the coun-
try are registering serious COM
plants against the Intellectual re-
suits obtained by the federal board
for vocational education, the gov
eminent agency charged by congress
with the responsibility of refrain
ing disabled soldiers for lives Of use
fitness, according to a statement
issued today by the Association for
Disabled Soldiers, Sailors and Ma
rines.
Cases of wounded soldiers who
have been made to suffer untold
delay, injustice and actual hardship
because of the faulty administration
of the federal board are said to
have come to the attention of the as
sociation which is an organization
of over 5000 disabled ex-service
men bent on getting square deal
for themselves and for the thou
sands of their fellows who are
badly in need of encouragement and
constructive assistance.
The federal board for vocational
education, with headquarters at
Washington, is under the chairman
ship of Secretary of Agriculture
Houston. The director of the board
is Charles A. Prosser. The Asso-
citation of Disabled Soldiers, Sailors
and Marines, with headquarters in
Philadelphia. was organized nation
ally in June of this year. The state
ment of the association follows in
part:
after waiting patiently for many
for the federal board to
make adequate provision for the
scores of cripples who were barred
from returning to their old jobs
because of disabilities incurred in
service, and after urging President
Wilson to veto the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill so that the federal
board might, receive $l4000,000 to
carry on it's work unimpeded, the
association has reached the point
where it feels that the public ought
to be informed of the situation re-
garding the disabled soldiers so that
the cause of the failure to insure his
successful re-entry into civil life
may be ascertained.
Investigation of the work of the
federal board and actual contact
with thousands of war cripples have
revealed to the association startling
instances of injustice to the disabled
soldiers"

100000 LIBEL
SUIT OF F0RD'S
NEARING CLOSE
Closing Arguments Being
Made In Case Brought by
Millionaire Against Chi
cago Newspaper.

Mount Clemens, Mich, Aug. T.
Closing arguments in Henry Fords
libel suit against the Chicago Daily
Tribune were begun in Judge Tuck
er's court today, Attorney William
Lucking opening for the plaintiff.
Mr.. Lucking recounted the alleged
libelous editorial of June %, 1916,
headed, Ford Is an Anarchist
1--WE claim said he. that:
THE Chicago Tribune, for selfish
and Interior motives, sought to
bring about intervention in Mexico
THAT the Tribune regarded the
mobilization of the national guard
in June, 1916, as a step in that di-
rection.
"That the Tribune knew that
Henry Ford was opposed to inter
vention, and,
THAT the Tribune seized upon the
item from Detroit stating Mr.. Ford
would not hold open the jobs of its
employees who went with the guard,
to write an editorial which the pub
fishers believed would intimidate
him and cause him to cease his
propaganda"
Mr.. Lucking insisted that anarchy
means opposition to all property
rights, all religion and all govern
ment, and that an anarchist, such
as Mr.. Ford was charged with be-
ing, is one who designedly works to
bring about the anarchy described.
That some of Mr-Ford's utter
ances agreed with those of Emma
Goldman and other recognized an
archists in no way proves him an
anarchist" said the lawyer.
