United Press Service CHICAGO, Feb. 25. Tbo ovrm ment's final effort to smash th alleg ed butter and egg "trusts," and pre vent forever the formation of pools to boost price began before Federal Judge Landls today. Hacked by the report of Muter la Chancery A. U, Morrison, District At torney Wllkerson began arguments asking for the dissolution of the bat ter and egg boards of Chicago and Elgin. If the claims of the novam- meat are allowed, the big batter and egg men will be practically enjoined from acting in concert to flx Dricea. regulate the operations In the mar kets, or in any way co-operate for their mutual profit against the public Interests. The government's attack on the al leged "trusts' began on Jon 19, 1910. when suit was filed against two boards as corporations by Attorney General WIckersham. Their lawyers filed a demurrer, but this was over ruled, and In June, 1911, the salt was referred to Master Morrison, who has taken evidence tatsralttenily since that time. Morrison completed and filed his report early In December. In nearly every particular he sustained the con tentions of the government that the two boards were operating In re- ' straint of trade. Morrison found that the Chicago and Elgin boards virtually form on organlaztlou, with interlocking direc torates and officials, who maintain n monopoly and regulate the prices of butter and eggs In Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, the Dakotas. Wisconsin, Michigan and other contiguous states. Operating from Chicago and Elgin for nearly a quarter of a century, ac cording to Morrison, they obtained such control that they fixed prices at which farmers and small creamery men must sell their products, taed the retail price to the consasMrs lm the largo cities, restricted the supply in times of heavy production of betn I butter nnd eggs, and reaped big profit 1 throtifirh tht nrtlflrlallv i.mm!o4 aMv- clty. Morrison found that creamery rep resentatives on the boards went into Mlddlo West states in tho flush peri ods ot production and made contracts with farmers to buy at the then ex- wMAMVMWiMWWVWMwVwWWwwMwVJe (Continued on pf 3) ing tho Fornley and Lassen railroad Into Modoo county.
