Ogden Armour of Chicago, president of Armour & Co., sub- poaened as a witness, the federal de partment of agriculture’s hearing of charges against the packing company opened here. Charges of monopolistic practices in the conduct of the Mistletoe yards here, tending to depress hog prices and interfere with an open and com. petitive market were brought against the, Armour company January 23 19%, by J. P. Swift and Frank With erspoon, livestock commission meh acting for the Kansas City Livestock Exchange. Violation cf the federal packer stockyards contro! act of 1921 is charged. Under the provisions of that act the hearing is being held be- fore a commissioner of the depart- ment of agriculture, J. T. Hainer. Thirty-nine associations of livestock producers and farmers have joined the local livestock exchange in the charges. They assert that the Mistletoe yards, privately owned by the Ar- mour company through,the Fowler Packing company, an Armour subsid- jary, in purchasing hogs privately has given exclusive rights to selected ship- pers who deal with the Mistletoe yards “excluding all other farme-s, pro- ducers or farmers’ co-operative asso- ciations.”” < The petition also asserted that prices are fixed arbitrarily at the Mis- tletoe yards, that there are no com- petitive bids, and “that the system of direct shipments assures packers supplies of hogs that enables them to manipulate and depress market prices below their normal level, thereby caus ing heavy losses to all producers.” The Armour company in reply has asserted its right to operate private yards and has denied that the intent or effect of such operation has been to depress prices. : WILLS SAINT CLAIRE TAXED TO CAPACITY BY FLOOD OF BUSINESS s of C.
