Attorney General I.esh. In his complaint, states that the first named defendant, the Indiana Manufacturers of Dairy Products, is a corporation organized tinder the voluntary association art of Indiana. passed March 9,1901. and received its license in Deee.mber, 1917. In its articles of incorporation it is set out that the purpose of the organization is formed “not for pecuniary profit, but for the purpose of associating together ail persons, firms nr corporations interested in the manufacture of dairy products or supplying equipment and materials to the manufacture of dairy products, to aid in the development of *ll branches of the dairy industry, uphold and aid In enforcing the laws of the State of Indiana, ndating to the dairy product* and lnduat.-y in said State, and to protect its members in the transaction of their business a id the farmers of the State of Indiana from anything that would disrupt. discourage or harden the dairy industry, and to devise plans and methods, and provide means of developing the dairy Industry and encourage an increased production of milk and the raising of more profitable cowv" Then the complaint proceeds to show that the other defendants are engaged in “buying and selling milk and cream and the making and selling of butter.

ISM.” “Some time prior to Jan. 1. 1921.” rends the complaint, “the precise date of which the realtor is unable to slate, the several defendants entered into a scheme, design, understanding, combination and conspl racy in the form of a trust and in re straint of trade and commerce, for the purpose of creating and carrying out re strictions in the production, distribution and sale of milk. In the making, distri button and sale of butter, ice cream and other milk products, and in the manufacture, sale and delivery of such articles of merchandise as arc necessary or useful in the production, sale and distribution of milk, butter, ice cream and other milk products, and for the purpose of limiting and reducing the production of said articles, or any of them, and to increase or reduee the price thereof, as their selfish interests might apear to be thereby subserved, by suppressing and preventing competition, cither amongst themselves or with others who were or might at any tiiqe wish to enter into the business of producing, mak ing. buying, selling, distributing or delivering any of said articles of uerchan dise within the territory in which the several defendants are operating and conducting their respective business activities within this State, and practically covering the entire State. “In furtherance of said wrongful and unlawful scheme, design, understanding, combination and conspiracy, the defendants conceived the idea and plan of using the corporate franchise granted by the State of Indlnna to the defendant. In diana Manufacturers of Dairy Products as & convenient pretext for 'Get together' meetings, and appointing suitable committees to work out the detail plans and direct the manner of executing them. CHARGES MEMBERSHIP PUT IN S CLASSES. "Pursuant to this wrongful and unlawful plan and purpose the defendants, assuming to operate as members of said Indiana Manfacturers of Dairy Products, organized their general membership into three divisions, viz; The ‘buter manufacturers.’ the 'ice cream manufacturers,' and the 'milk dealers’ with each division having its separate officers and committees, and all tied together with general officers and committees, w ith main offices for the general organization in the city of Indianapolis. "In addition to the general officers and ‘executive committee’ of the main organization, and the ‘executive commit" tee’ of the several division organizations, various departmental committees have been formed and are being maintained, designated as ’ways and means,’ ‘adjustment tnd arbitration,’ ‘publicity.’ ‘legislative,’ and ‘rates and transportation.’ to each of which committees is alloted the power and duty of carrying on some branch of the enterprise in which all are engaged “By the con bined power nnd concerted action of the several defendants they are able to and, in fact, do arbitrarily control In a substantial and hurtful way the milk, butter, ice cream and allied m lk products in this State. They are able to and in fact do arbitrarily control and dictate the priee to be paid to the producers of milk, and cream and are and have been maintaining an unreasonable and unconscionable low level of price to Ihe producers and thereby arc discouraging the farmers and dairymen in the production of milk and cream.

BARRACKS 0. K., SAYS FESLER Auditor Calls Them Very Thing for Tubercular Patients. An inspection of the wooden barracks at Ft. Benjamin Harrison has convinced County Auditor Leo K. Fesler that thre or four of the barracks could be removed to Sunnyside for use of tubercular ex service men at little expense. Mr. Fesler accompanied by County Commissioners Shank and George visited the fort yesterday for the purpose of tentatively choosing three ,or four barracks which would be suitable for use of the ex service men at Sunnyside. "I am conivnced that if the War Department will honor our request to remove these barracks that we will be able to take care of from eighty to a hundred tubercular ex-service men in a satisfactory manner." Mr. Fesler stated Continuing. Mr Fesler said: “One of the barracks is ninety feet long and twenty feet wide. The contractor tells us that he will be able to remove the barracks to Sunnyside in two sections. These sections will be put together, then the walls and ceilings will be lined with some kind of wall hoard and then steam pipes and water connections will be made. "The plan is to build a glass encased porch around each barrack. That will be a great pleasure and accommodation to the ex-service men during the long winter months. “I am convinced we can quickly and economically fix these barracks in a satisfactory manner to accommodate nearly ; the hundred men at a cost much less than
