Grand Jiry 4t Bosion Finds Trath o Monopoly Coarge " Boston, May 25.—Eighty-eight cor- ‘porations and individuals were indict- ed by the federal grand jury here late yesterday for conspiring to 'monopo- lize interstate commerce in onions. The indictments, which were returned | . #s a result of a natfon-widé inquiry. into the cost:-ef food con winter by United George W. Al lege that th.~d.lflm divided In the " territory. of the country ‘among them for the purpose ‘of eiiminating ‘competition; that maximum' - pi 1 were fixed for the purchase of onions, and that the supply was hoarded in order to increase prices. Mr. Anderson estimated that the an- ‘nual crop of onions amounted to 200- 000,000 pounds, three-fourths of ‘which, he said, was alleged to have be'n controlled by the defendants, gist of the charge,” he said, the defendants have main- onal assoclation com- posed of large onion dealers who buy up the bulk of the onions of the northern state during the sumnier and early fall, storing them in warehouses owned or controlled by the various members and putting them upon the market from September to April. The government charges that this associa- tion has had had a dominating and illegal control of the onion trade for the last three years, “The government expects to show that as early as September, 1916, at least 76 per cent. of the year's crop, then harvested, was in control of the | members of this assoclation. The headquarters of the association are at Kenton, Ohio, where the regular an- Rual meeting was héld in July. Monthly Meetings Held. “It is a part of the plan of this asso- eiation to have monthly meetings in various parts of the country, so as to get as large an attendance as possible of members who might otherwise be reached only through the mails. Af- ter these monthly meeting the Sec- retary issues to the members printed confidential reports containing a -sum- | mary review of the amount of) onions avallable in various: producing sec- tions, followed by such suggestions as: ‘The bulk of the onion crop is now In the hands of speculators, fully 75 per cent. of whom are members of this association. This reports shows that the movement for the entire United Slltu need be only eighty cars per day. . “For tha 1916 crop the producers probably recived less than 2 cents per pound. In midwinter many of these onions were sold to retailers, and through them to consumers, at 10 to 66 cents a pound. It is claimed by the government that this tremendous market between the price accruing to the producer was largely due to the IMegal. control of the trade exercised by this association.” Among the corporations indicted the John B.
