They Result in Evidence Against

The deplorable condition of the Bell

Attorney E. d. McKaever finding a
piece of evidence against the beef trust.
Crossed wires enabled a third person to
overhear a conversation between Mr..
McKeever's groceryman and the repre-
sentatiVes of two packing houses. The
groceryman called UP one agent and
asked for a price on beef. He was made
a price of ten cents. He rang off and
called up another agent and after a few
minutes parley got a price of 95z cents.
While the groceryman was talking to
the second agent the first agent was
eavesdropping. Immedia tely after the
grocerynan rang off, the bell rang again
and the grocerymsn took down the re-
ceiver Of the phone only to hear the two
packing house agents swearing at each
other The ten cent man threatened all
kinds of vengeance on the agent that
cut the rates. 1t may cost the agent
who cut the rates his position, for the
reason that the combine is very strict
in regard to the enforcement of the rule
to sell in accordance with the printed
schedule sent out each week by the
packing houses at Kansas City. all the
