GRAND JURY HEARS
WEIANT AND CRONK
Swami First Questions Milk
Magnates in His Own
Office.

Charles A. weiant. former president
Of the Borden's Farm Products Com
pany, and Harry A Cronk, vice-pres'-
dent of this company and a member Of
the conference committee of the Milk
Conference Board, were witnesses before
the Grand Jury in the investigation of
the charges made by District Attorney
Swami that a combination Of milk deal
ers has been formed to boost the price
OF milk. Both men were questioned by
Mr.. Swami in his private office before
they went before the Grand Jury. and It
is believed they gave to the District At
torney the same Information they gave
to the Grand Jury.

troll the bottled milk distribution in New

had questioned Mr.. Weiant and Mr..
Cronk. ARE the Borden's Farm Products
Company. Inc {; the Sheffield Farms
Company. Inc, and the Clover Farrr
Company. You can buy all the dipped
milk you want to-day at the corner
grocery for IL cents quart For the
same milk delivered in a bottle any one
OF these three companies charges IL
cents a quart"
Mr. Swami said that Mr.. Weiant had
told him that a quart milk bottle cost
511 cents, and lasts about eleven or
twelve trips to the door OF the consumer
Mr.. Weiant denied that there was an
timer ring. interested in the rlanufac-
ture of milk bottles, and also secuted the
idea that the milk companies encourage
| the breakage and non-return OF bottles
| so that more would be purchased.
Roth Mr. Valiant md Mr. Crnulx
asked about the methods Of the Milk
Conference Board. which, II is alleged,
fixed prices each month through con-
certed action OF It's members. Mr..
weiant said that no minutes or the
boards meetings were kept, and that II
was organized and incorporated after the
abandonment of the New York Milk Ex-
change, all of whose members were In
dicted for fixing prices of milk.
what would happen II I went into
the milk business and undersold the
present distributers?" asked Mr.. Swami
"You probably would not be permitted
to remain on the Milk Conference
Board" said Mr., Weiant, "if you under
| took to do anything like that"
Mr.. Weiant said the Borden's Farm
Products Company was Incorporated by
the Borden Condensed Milk Company
for the purpose OF dealing in fluid milk
and that practically all of the stock was
owned by the latter company, with the
exception of the shares necessary &c

we are in collision. Such an impression
has existed for twenty years and the
packers up till recently have never tried
to set things straight. The feeling has
been very general. So much was said
that the President naturally said let's

Then Mr.. Weld explained the new

barked upon with view to clearing
