ception. in the opinion OF corporation law
yers, would be the adoption OF an arbi-
trary and unreasonable schedule OF pri-
ces.
Many attempts have been made In the
past TO form such a combination, but all
have been unsuccessful. During the life
time OF +. ID. Armour the question OF the
forma tion OF huge packing combination
TO include all the Chicago firms was dis
cussed but Mr.. Armour stood firm against
all such proposals.
1t Is said that one time the project went
so far as TO be considered by the heads
of all the large Chicago firms, but the
question OF the allotment OF capital stock
is understood to have been the rock on
which the plan went to pieces.
