Indicted Poultry Trust in New York Grand Jury Case
A New York grand jury indicted twenty four firms and many receivers and jobbers in the live poultry trade for conspiracy to raise prices in violation of anti trust law. The action targets big receivers including Jacobs & Werner and others, with several named as involved in a wide scheme across West Washington market. Several defendants faced possible penalties including imprisonment or fines, as the inquiry traced how the trust monopolized stands and controlled poultry flow through multiple hands.

Big New York Live Poultry Trust Indicted
A grand jury charged eight commission merchants and many associated buyers as part of a long running live poultry cartel in New York City. They allegedly controlled shipments, fixed prices, and pooled profits with a formal association formed in 1908 and renewed in 1909. Bail was set at 1000 dollars for most defendants. The case echoes prior milk trust indictments.
