DE3 MOINES, la., Not. 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. (
The warrants for the arrest of the offi
cials of Sears, Roebuck dt Company were
placed In the hands of a United States
deputy marshal today and the deputy left
for Chicago to servo them. The officiate
will be taken before a United States com
missioner and allowed to give bond.
