Presidents of two great companies, Louis F. Swift and Thomas F. VUson, who head plants bearing tnelr names, issued statements minimizing the depression of last year and predicting greater profits for business in general during the year just starting. 4 Recovery of business must take Place because of depleted stocks of Roods at present,” said Swift,, whose company sold $900,000,000 worth ,of products last year “Retailers soon must begin to buy and then business will boom ” Wilson said that despite a decrease in sales last year, his plant was able to register a 10 per cent Increase in profits. Other meat packing authorities said the lower sales volume probably was due, in part at least, to a decrease In the price of unit sales, such as a lower price per pound of meat.

Brothers wfll be tried immediately on charges of murdering Alfred (Jake) Lingle, it was said today by state’s attorneys, who held the suspect In seclusion and dared the underworld to make one move to obtain his releasee on a writ of habeas corpus. “We would like for that to happen,” said John A. Swanson, state’s attorney, when informed that a firm of attorneys who specialize in defending gangsters, was preparing to seek Brothers’ release on a writ. “Perhaps,” he added, “it would give us an idea who is behind Brothers.” Brothers, who has been arrested sixty-six times in St. Louis, and Is wanted there on a charge of murder, has been identified positively by witnesses as the man who 6hot the Tribune reporter on last June 9. Charles B. Rathbun, attorney, who headed the Lingle investigation, today said the state is ready to try Brothers, and that he is confident there was enough evidence for conviction. He anticipated, however, the defense would be granted either thirty or sixty days’ delay. Brothers has not been indicted and no official charge has been made against him.
