SALT LAKE CITY. Jan. 3.-Due to the efforts of the federal food admin istration in Utah. according to J. H. Manderfeld, manager of the Salt union stockyards, hog production in Utah has increased from 40 to 50 per cent during the last twelve months. Many sections of the state which heretofore have paid little at tentiOn to the hog-raising industry have found it to be a profitable busi- ness, MT. Mandertield says Many sec tions, far from railroad lines. have marketed many carloads.
 "A year ago the hog run was fairly heavy Mir. Manderfcld said in re cent statement. But so per cent of the run. as far as the Salt Lake stock while this fall, up to date. the bulk of the hogs came from Utah farms The records show hogs coming from fifty to one hundred miles from rail road points. These are hauled to the railroads in trucks and shipped to the yards.
 While the open market in Salt Lake is only year and half old. the educational feature has been one of the most important items. Good, fat hogs are now finding ready market, n,,l l,lt thnt kn will continue"

Statement of Lewis Cited
by Anderson as Direct
Admission of Collusion
of Miners and Owners
Stricct Inquiry Ordered
Issue is Whether Govern
ment or Group Shall
Rule, He Advises Jurors

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 17-Judge A..
%. Anderson, of the United States Dis
trlct Court, to-day instructed the Fed
eral grand jury, which was impaneled
hero this morning, to investigate
charges that mine owners had con-
spired not only among themselves but
with the miners, to limit production Of
coal he quoted an alleged statement
or John l.. Lewis, the miners leader,
and said "on the face Of it," this was
direct admission of unlawful COM
bination between the men and the
operators.
The summonng Of the grand jury is
an outgrowth OF charges following the
recent coal strike, which allege that
violations of the Lever act and the
antitrust laws have been made in sew
eral instances. Judge Anderson's
charge was lengthy and in concluding,
he said:
Let your investigation in all these
matters be thorough and searching.
and let your conclusions be A full an
swcr to Il question which has been up
permost in the minds of our citizens
for the last few weeks; that is, whether
the government of the United States
or group of men shall rule THIS coun-
try, and whether we shall be governed
by law or by force"
Injunction Declared IGNORED
Stress was laid on the Failure of the
miners to return to work when the
order calling off the strike was re.
scinded by international officers of the
United Mine Workers by direction Of
the court. Judge Aaderson declared
the courts order to cancel the strike
was complied with ''in fprm only" and
that for a month the Injunction was
ignored and defied."
The charge quotes from q speech
made in the House of Representatives
on October % in which it was Seclarcd
that union miners, by joint coHfer-
ences with operators had reached an
agreement that the usual methods Of
organized labor be utilized to destroy
non union competition.
Lewis Speech Quoted
The same speech, he said quoted
John l.. Lewis, acting president Of
the United Mine Workers, when at
as saying that as he understood the
purpose of the meeting it was to wipe
out competition "between us as miners
first; next for the purpose Of wiping
out competition as between operators
in these four states, Indiana, Ohio,
Illinois and Western Pennsylvania
if | understand the real pur~
pose OF this movement, it is that we
will jointly declare war on every man
outside this competitive field who will
DO anything in any way endangering
the peace that exists between us"
"On the face of it, Judge Anderson
declared, this is direct admission by
Mr.. Lewis that the charge Of an un-
lawful combination between the mine
workers and the mine operators is
