A Hog Trust Reported to he the Latesn
scheme of Tho PAokers
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 6.-Rumor gained ground
yesterday in this city that a gigantic COM
bine of al the hog packers of the West was
IN course OF formation that the packers OF
Chicago were engineering the deal, and
we're arranging to take in all packing
houses Mt st. Paul, Des Moines, Sioux
City, Omaha, Kansas City, ST. Louis aud
Cincinnati. The Des Moines, Omaha and
Kansas City houses are largely owned by
the Chicago syndicate said to be conduct
ing the negotiations. The story has its origin
in the sale by the East St Louis Packing
Company, a branch of the Chicago Pack
ing Company, of the entire plant at East
st. Louis, with a capacity of 9. 500 head a
day to Crossman & Savage, said to rep
resent the trust. 1t is alleged that Fran
els Whitaker & Sons, the only other
packing establishment here, was invited
to join the combine, but declined on the
ground that they had brands which we're
known and that they had nothing 10 gain
by the change. 1t Is rumored further that
the same men who are in the dressed beef
pool are in this and that the combine will
have an ol-eomargarine mandatory as a
side issue.
