A Defense of Adam

he packers Combine investigation

The Packers Combine Investigation.
New York, May ALFRED l.. NJ Bullowa of
this city, chairman of the Republican CLUB
committee which was recently appointed to
investigate the alleged combination of pack
ers has gone to Washington for confer
euce with ATTORNEY General Knox.
No packers will be represented at the con-
ference however When the committee as
sembled for its final meeting, kilograms were
read from ], o. Lyman, Michael Cudahy, Mel
son Morris, J: Ogden Armour and Gustavus
Swift expressing the regrets of the senders
that they were unable to attend the confer
ence with Attorney General Knox which the
committee h:sl arranged.
Chairman Bullowa and the other members
OF the committee expressed their surprise
when shown a disratch from Washington in
which, Attorney General Knox expressed the
opinion that the call for the conference was
unwarranted. Chairman Buliowa said:
Our idea in inviting the packers to the
conference was to secure for them their day in
court and, pending the determination OF the
action which the government authorities pur-
pose taking, bringing about some under
standing which would be for the interest of
ali concerned, The packers whom we asked
to meet the attorney general with us have
declined to take advantage of the opportunity,
and we will. therefore. now &c. ahead and CO.
operate with the legal authorities for the pur-
pose OF bringing them to time
Why the Republican Club committee feels
called on to act in this particular case has
| cal.sed some question. Attorney General
Knox's letter referred to ebove wa as fol-
lows.
Your action requesting representatives of
packing companies to meet is unwarranted
by my letter of April is, and was without
my knowledge or any intlmation to me that
you proposed doing so until receipt OF your
letter. regret that you have assumed to
arrange conferences which misrepresent the
governments position.

Quarter Million Made Him r,unk.


With a silver half dollar held between his
thumb and forefnger, John A Drake of Chi
cago offered to flip the coin in the air and let
the ownership of $500 600 Depend upon its
turn. 1t may have been stupendous bluff
but the wager was not accepted. 1t was
Jacob Field a strcck broker, who was
tempted by Mr.. Drake. The incident occurred
in enc of the brokerage Offices in the Hoffman
house.
Mr. Field is known to his friends as
Jake. He would rather deal in large
affairs than small. ard is generally willing to
speculate on almost anything and to any
amount. There have been differences of opin-
ion between him and MIR. Drake and more
than once Mr.. Drake has peen told he could
have action for any sum from 81 to 100000.
Perhaps it grew tiresurne Maybe Mr.
Drake felt the need of a stimulent. To one
! of his friends he said he had dream that
he had won s250.00G from jake Fields.
There had been enc of their customary dis
putes in the Hoffman house and the usual
banter to bet had been made by Mr.. Field.
| Mr.. Drake refused. Then there was a remark
about timid persons that seemed to annoy
Mr.. Drake. Down into a pocket he reached
I and, bringing out halt dollar he asked
Fields if he was willing to bet on the toss
of the coin.
.Surest thing you ever knew" said Mr..
/ Fields. "A thousand If it turns heads. More
/ If you like
Now let's not fritter away our time like
that" Mr. Drake is said TO have responded.

WHAT COMPETITION DOES FOR Flour

In certain emergencies there is no argu-
ment like force. If right is mighty it will
then prevail. The railroads, it is re-.
ported from New York, are about to do
Justice to export flour. This, it appears.
is not because they love justice, but be-
cause they were hit with club The
club was the threat that the export flour
traffic would be diverted from New York
to New Orleans. New York financial in
terests, which is only another way of
designating the big railway systems that
center there, woke up to the enormous
loss of traffic that would result to- east
ern and western lines if.-New Orleans
should be made the great port for flour
export. y s
If Minneapolis and other millers at last
get their dues it will be be-
cause of the beneficial effect
of competition-about which some
OF, them appear to care so little
the competition of different ports, of diff
ferent terminals. If New York were the
only port in the country or the same
financial interests that control the trans
portation routes centering there from
the west were equally interested in New
Orleans or other possible competing ports,
and equally in control of routes leading
to them, the millers would wait long
time and the export -four business would
be- ruined before their complaints could
be heard. -s-~.y =. .--s.-.r4a<~-. -, =
Whatever are the. faults of the COM
petitive system it certainly does often
work out rough justice-as in this case.
1t is hard on the competitors, but it
often prevents injustice and injury. to
the public. 1t is a regulator.
If the best interests Of business demand
that consolidation be substituted for com
petition, the best interests of the public
demand that there be also substitution
Of some new regulator for the regulating
phase of competition.
That means government control.
