The Beef Trust’s System Laid Bare (Continued from page 4) for a long period in advance the full tanning capacity of the plants it did not own and shut them to independent packing firms that had hides to sell. One witness told the commission how he had a quantity of hides worth 20, 30 and 40 cents per pound, and that the trust drove him finally to sell them all at 19 cents, because he could not make them into leather. Things of this same kind were shown in the St. Paul hearings where Commissioner Davies, Mr. Heney, and their corps of investigators spent in all about two weeks. Four days were spent in the formal hearings after more than a week had been consumed by agents of the commission in pre- paring the ground. FACTS AND CAMOUFLAGE AT ST. PAUL HEARING" The public had been led to suppose that the only thing that would be dis- closed by the St. Paul inquiries would be the interesting question as to what became of the $500,000 that St. Paul citizens subscribed to bribe Armour & Co., to enter the St. Paul livestock market “in competition” with Swift & Co. And even this, it was announced ° over and over, the public already knew. The big business newspapers did all they could to make the people think there was nothing worth asking ques- tions about in the South St. Paul market, the fifth largest packing and livestock point in the United States, and now being doubled in capacity. But this is pretty interesting infor- mation isn’t it? Swift & Co. got the original packing plant at South St. Paul, the land that went with it, the belt line railroad that connects the yards with the transcontinental rail- way lines, and $1,000,000 worth of stock in the stockyards company for the sum of only $27,000! Here is the clue to the whole story- of how the Northwest has been levied upon for tribute to the beef harons. That was Swift’s inducement to come here. And when the people, tired of a one-man market, determined to get Armour to come in, Armour demanded $1,000,000 likewise, either cash or stock in the stockyards company—and Swift guar- anteed half of this! - Mr. Swift was quite affable about it too, according to C. W. Gordon, who told this part of the story. The St. Paul business men formed a “citizens’ committee” to get another packing plant. Mr. Gordon was appointed am- ‘bassador to visit the distant packing sovereigns. The negotiations had al- ready extended over several years, and Armour had threatened to go and establish independent yards in Minne- apolis—but hadn’t done it—when the ‘“citizens’ committee” determined to get him at South St. Paul at any cost. .The negotlations dragged along for- some months, but in brief this is what occurred: Mr. Gordon talked over the proposi- tion with Louis F. Swift, but Swift told him not to hurry, that Armour would come in good time. He appear- ed not to want “competition.” Then Gordon went to J. Ogden Armour, and Armour assumed great indifference. Said he didn’t care to do it—it was a pretty big proposition, etc. etc.—and Mr. Gordon reported failure. A month later Gordon saw Armour again, and was told that IF—IF Mr. Armour did decide to come to St. Paul, he would have to have 10,000 shares of the stock of the South St. Paul Stockyards com- pany. That would be $1,000,000. Gor- don went home to St. Paul and re- ported but was sent back post haste on this hint of Mr. Armour’s generous concession, and told to “Jew him down” if he could, but get him anyway. Gordon went back prepared to guar- antee $400,000 in cash to be raised by subscription, and $100,000 in stock- yards company stock to be obtained by loosening the grip of some of the dummies who held it. SWIFT GLADLY PAYS TO GET “COMPETITOR"” He went to Chicago. He called on Mr.- Swift at 9 a. m. one day, told him what sacrifices St.-Paul was will- ing to make to get Armour and begged Mr. Swift to come across with the other half million. Swift said he would. Mr. Gordon took hope, went direct to Mr. Armour’s office, reach- ing there at 10 a. m., and told Armour that the full bonus had been arranged for. Mr. Armour smiled. Mr. Gordon called up Swift on the telephone, and Mr. Swift came over to Armour’s of- fice and closed the deal. In other words, in order to make sure that “competition” would be es- tablished in the South St. Paul stock- yards, Mr. Swift, who absolutely con- trolled the market, offered his biggest “competitor,” Armour, $500,000 to come ' in and “compete” with him. This is the kind of “competition” the farmers and consumers of the Northwest got, the great stimulus that the newspapers said- would result from getting an “outside” packing house into the yards. Mr. Gordon came home and began to raise the money. The first $100,000 worth of stockyards stock was deliver- ed to Mr. Armour through the First - National bank of St. Paul, -the small certificates of numerous persons being turned over on demand, and being con- centrated into one new certificate for 1,000 shares donated to Mr. Armour. Mr. Swift promised to see that Mr. Armour got the additional 5,000 shares of stock which would complete the '$1,000,000 bonus he was to get, but this ~could not be done without conferring with ‘stockholders in England.
