THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26, CHICAGO PACKERS ARE STILL FACING 3] PROSECUTIONS (Continued From First Page ) awer in behalf of independents and smaller concerns than the packers is this: “Lf the $525,000,000 of capital which has hitherto been distributed in more than 400 different kinds of businesses now must be concentrated in the meat business and in the butter, egg, cheese and poultry business, what will $526,000,000 of organized capital do to the persons engaged in the meat, butter, ege, cheese aud poultry business?” The packers know just what the powers of the Federal Trade Com- mission are, but an item in a Chicago newspaper recently gave the impres- sion that they expected President Wilson to cail off the Federal Trade Commission, It is known that the puckers have discussed that possibil- ity with the Attorney General, but the latter has no more jurisdiction over the Federal Trade Commission than the Secretary of the Navy or any ther member of the Cabinet. It will be noted that the Attorney General left the question of butter, ©gg8, cheese and poultry “to further consideration,” which may or may sot mean the entry of another com- promise decree with the Department vf Justice or submission to an order from the Federal Trade Commission. COMMISSION REPORT TO PRESI- DENT ON WAYS OF TRUST. To understand the position of the ‘ederal Trade Commission to-day, the following excerpt from its letter to President Wilson sent to the White House, immediately after the terms of the compromise with the Packers became known, ought to be read: ‘The Commission found that with respect to the meat pack- ing industry there existed monop- controls, trusts, combina- » conspiracies and restraints of trade out of harmony with the law and public interest. The Com- msalon so reported to the Pres- ident and to the Congress and Placed its mass of facts as -apidly as they could be digested in the hands of the Departinent of Jus- tice for such action as it might deem wise, The Commission has ABLE TO SPARE TIME TO MUCH DESIRED TO GIVE. BUT, EVERY ONE KNOWS YOURS AS YET, FOR THERE AND ALSO TO PURCHASE IT MILITARY OFFICERS’ responded to the call of com- mittens of Congress which were | considering proposed — remedial legislation and to the call of the Department of Justice to the fur- ther study in facts transinttted The Commission found that in starting with a practical con- trol of the meat packing industry the prosent state of affairs made possible unfai> invasion into other industries to an extent that an ul- timate control of the food supply of the hation in a few hands was Possible and probable. To this situation ft has directed the atten- tion of Congress “We should say to you that in this examination the Commission has brought out certain facts hav- ing to do with the laws, the ade ministration of which it is par- ticularly charged. In a number of these matters formal proceed- ings have already been institu In otherg forma: proceedings a in process of formulation, ‘These things the Commission will carry forward in due course and in the orderly prosecution of its work.” In the foregoing paragraph is re vealed the intention of the Commis- sion to go forward with thirty-one cases entirely different from those compromised by the Department of Justice, Victor Murdock, Bull Moose Thompson of Colorado, sistant Attorney General, B.
