ing handled from the chutes to the
pens and received permission to do
their own loading and unloading, so
that now very little expense is made
by the Stock Yards Company in ham
ding stock between the cars and the
scales. This has enabled the Stock
Yards Company to reduce its force Of
laboTers In the year to q very small
number, and a great share of these are
paid by the hour for the time they
work and get only a few hours work in
q day, In the morning when the cattle
are being unlosded or received.
Figuring the salaries Of the officers
who are expensive men, the clerical
force, the labor In the yards, the cost
of water and other incidental expenses,
they will not exceed 30 per cent. of the
earnings, which would leave the enor-
NOUS net profits of about $500, 900 for
the year 1895.
SOME SUGGESTIONS.
1--WE believe that the stock rslsers of
Kansas should have some relief from
the excessive rates charged by the
Stock Yards Company, and that these
enormous profits should be cut down In
these times Of low prices, when corn Is
selling in Kansas City at II to IS cents
per bushel by the carload, and is a
drug on the market In the country,
and rotting on the ground because the
farmer Is not able to buy the material
for cribs to protect it. These same
farmers when shipping their cattle and
hogs to Kansas City are required to
pay 81 per bushel for the corn and 81
per hundred for hay which their stock
consumes while In the yards. But to
Offset this, the company with the most
brszen impudence possible says: Just
think of the water which your cattle
get which we do not charge for
ITO correct these evils we would
suggest that the Legislature of the
State of Kansas enact a law to help
the farmers and shippers of stock to
this market, which can be done.
"First, we believe the State should
appoint an inspector Of feed; to be sta.
toned at the Kansas City stock yards,
whose business should be to inspect
the quality Of the hay, corn and oats
and the weight Of the same, ss fed to
the stock.
Second, the yaEdage should be re-
duced at least half.
"Third, q law should be passed put.
ting stop to the wholesale robbery
which is now practiCed in the matter
of buying dead stock. at the present
time there is a deslcatlng and refining
company which is an offshoot of the
Stock Yards Company, which has q
monopoly Of the entire dead animal
business in the yards and no one else
is allowed chance to buy or take
dead animals from the yards. This
company now pays the munifcent sum
of One-qusrter Of q cent per pound for
hogs weighing over 100 pounds, and
nothing for hogs weighing less than
100 pounds. The weight is generally
guessed at and is not always correct.
The commission men and owners Of
the stock do not seem to have any
voice in the disposition of these AMI
mails and the refining company takes

raising public to do business with the
members of the trust. BY reason Of
the red tape used and the cast iron
rules adopted by the association, the
yards are no longer an open market
and shippers are no longer able TO do
business except through the medium
of the members of this trust. Com
mission firms are not allowed to con-
duct their business In their own way,
but are hsmpered by the rules and reg.
ulatlons Of the association. They are
prohibited from having more than
three solicitors in the field, or Of fur.
nishing their customers in the country
with stock quotations, unless these
messengers are sent at the expense Of
the shipper. Any member violating
any of these rules is expelled from the
association and other members are for
hidden under penalty Of suspension,
from transacting business with them.
The greatest power in the hands Of
the association Of enforcing these rules
and to bar out competition is In the
system Of docksge on hogs, which has
been established. The dockers en-
ployed at the different scales Gre go.
lected and hired by che executive
committee Of the Live Stock Ex-
change, which at the present time ls
composed Of four buyers for packing
houses, one Stock Yard Company man
and two commission men. The sus-
pended or non-member Of the Live
Stock Exchange is debarred from the
privilege Of having his hogs doCked
and the packers will not buy hogs un.
less they are docked by the Exchange
dockers, which practically shuts out
Of the hog yards all but the members
Of this gigantic trust.
AN ABSOLUTE STEAL.

ing Company, E. A. Reggs, head hog
buyer for the Armour Packing Com
pany, and E. j. Kicks, head hog buyer
for the Swift Packing Company, as
being three of these several directors,
so that their control Of this docksge
system absolutely prohibits any but
members of the association from doing
business In the yards. Many Of the
members Of your body are shippers Of
stock, aud, as such, know that their
docksge Of hogs In the Kansas City
yards Ia an absolute steal. If q car
load Of stock contains stuff which is
liable to be docked, the buyers take
this fsct into consideration Ia making
their offers and quote price below the
ruling market price of that date. In
consequence, when this stuff is after
ward driven on to the scales, and
docked forty or eighty pounds, as the
case may be, the account Of the dock.
age is simply that much clear gain to
the buyer and q loss to the shipper, be-
cause these defects were taken into
