Farmers Made Defendants in Anti-Trust Suit at Ft. Wayne.

A dispatch from Fort Wayne says:

“Fifty-three members of the Hay and Grain Producers’ and Shippers’ Association of Northeastern Indiana were made defendants in a suit instituted in the circuit court here today by Attorney General James Binghata, in which it is alleged that the association is an organization in restraint of trade, in that it fixes prices and destroys competition. “A restraining order was issued by Judge O’Rourke prohibiting the officers of the association from sending out the daily price lists and continuing any other work of the organization. Dec. 27 was fixed as the date for a hearing on the plea for a temporary injunction.”
