He declared that if any violations of the Indiana anti-trust law can be discovered, he will exert himself to the utmost to prosecute the violators. “Indiana has a strong law to protect combinations in restraint of trade,” Said Mr. Stansbury. “I shall prosecute the Law with vigor if it is found that any set of interests are in any way restraining production or have combined to force up ithe price of commodities.
