87 GIVEN FINES
 OF s2,5OO EACH
American Malleable Iron Cast.
 inss Case Is Ended

-~---------=~~--
 Cleveland, Aug. Rl---A federal court fight of almost two and half years duration against forty-eight members of the American Malleablc Castings Association and forty-seven large Malleable Iron Castings Con- panies was ended today when eighty seven defendants appeared before Federal Judge Westenhayer. entered pleas of nolo contendere and were fined s2,5O0 each.
 The indictment upon which the defendants were brought to trial was returned by federal grand jury at Cleveland in March, 1924, and fol- lowed a long federal investigation. The defendants bitterly fought the governments efforts to bring them to trial Practically every legal ac- tion for resistance was brought into use, but the government finally won in each case.
 The most important and most pro- tracted phase of the resistance grew out of the refusal of defendants liv- ing outside of the Cleveland federal court district to appear here for trial. More than two score trials and court proceedings, involving ha- beas corpus actions and appeals to circuit courts and the United States supreme court were required to se- cure extradition for the defendants.
 Finally by virtue of & supreme court ruling the defendants were or dered to appear in Cleveland for trial. Date was set for September 13. 1926.
 The decision to enter the "nolo contendere' plans, which are virtual ly pleas of guilty, as the expression means that the indictment is not contested, came at a meeting eight days ago in Washington between Attorney General Sargent, his Assist ant Russell Hardy, and representa- tives of the American Malleablc Castings Association
 The indictment returned against the defendants charged them with manufacturing seventy-five Ter cent of the annual production of malle- able castings in the United States, with having conspired since Janu- ary, 1917 to assign and alot the buyers of malleable iron castings among themselves and to fiy prices. These arrangements, the indictment alleged, would serve to eliminate competition.
 The indictments further charged that the American Malleabe Cast ings association was used in carry ing out the alleged conspiracy. The indictment was returned under the provisions Of the sherman antitrust act
 Maximum fines for corporations for this charge is s5,00o and for in- dividuals is s5,0OO and a years im- prisonment; the s2.500 fine was agreed upon at the conference last week.
 The fines meted out today rotalled $217,50O.
 Several weeks ago five of the or iginal 95 defendants entered pleas and were fined an aggregate of s14,- 500 this brought the total of the fines to s2ss,oOo.
