Washington. -Because farmers' co operative organizations nr exempt from application of untltrust laws, tho department of Justice has given no consideration to tlio campaign to withhold crops from tho markets until prices advance, It was snld by F. K. Nebckcr, special assistant to tho at torney general. Mr. Nobcker's explanation of the department's nttltudo followed a state ment by (1. S. llarrutt, president of tbo National Farmers' union, that ho understood fcdurul iigouts were at- .tempting to obtain ovliteiico for prose cutlou In Kaicum, Iowa and other status. Tbo Clayton antitrust act, Mr. Neboker said, provides that ugrlcub tural organizations, not having capi tal stock nor bulng conducted for profit, cannot be construed as con splraclos In restraint of trade. With holding of crops for personal profit tio asserted, probably would not bo held as organization profits. Mr. Ncboker also alleged that the limitations on tho appropriation act for tho enforcement of the anti-trust Inw would seem to pmtludo action against farmers, Inasmuch as tlio. act specifies that no part of tho appro priations shall be oxpendod for tho prosecution of farmers who co-operate to obtain u fair nnd roasonsblo prlco for their products.
