RELIEF PLANS FOR
TO CONSPIRACY OF
MEAT PACKERS
CHICAGO, Aug. 18. Ten leaders
In tho Chicago meat packing Industry
will be subpoenaed today to appear
before the federal grand Jury Invesll
gating tho recent Increases In moat
prices. Tho subpoenaed were placed
In the hands of marshals this morn
ing and the witnesses probably will
appear tomorrow.
District Attorney James II. Wllker
son said today that from evidence ob
tained It appeared to him that a con
spiracy had been planned among
packers and others and that If It is
substantially procd by sufficient ad
ditional advice, criminal prosocutloni
will bo ordered,
"From what I havo learned so far,
It appears to mo that when tho war
started tho packers had three wock.V
supply of meats In their coolers and
that they advised farmers and ship
pers to hold their products for n
time." said Mr. Wilkcrson. "If that
were actually done, It was a conspir
acy, without any question, to advance
tho prices without duo cau6e. With
that supply on hand there was no dan
ger tho packers would find a short
ened supply and If they really told
farmers to hang on to their cattle. It
can be shown that It was nothing
more nor less than a plan to lucreaso
prices on tho pretext that tho war
had struck a blow In this country.''
