SO. Speolal.) A fight' agalnat the alleged Des Moines Orocera' trust is threatened by Sears, Roe buck dt Company of Chicago, the big mall order house indicted by the federal grand Jury for use of the United States malls for the purpose of fraud. It is asserted that the Des Moines Retail Orocera' asso ciation Is at the bottom of the indictment agalnat the Chicago concern. Thla waa openly stated at the time tha Indictment came. Editor PUklhgton of the Iowa Trade Journal and W. A. Graham, a lawyer, said to have been engaged for the work by the Retail Orocera' association, uncovered the evidence that led to the federal Indlut menl. The Chicago firm baa engaged N. T. Guernsey, an attorney of Des Moines, to represent It In the trial in the federal court here, which has been set for next May. It is alleged that alnce the Indict ment detectives for thla Chicago concern have been here looking up the claim that the Retail Orocera' association la a corpo ration In restraint of trade In that It flxea the prices on groceries here and keops them well up. The report has it that the Chicago con cern proposes to fight fire with fire and will seek to bring about the indictment of the offioers of the local association. This may be brought by the Polk county grand Jury, or it may be brought before the fed eral grand Jury of Chicago, where tha mall order house la supposed to have more friends.
