New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Nov. 10.-Sir Thomas Lip
toms big packing plant at the Union
Stock Yards will probably soon pass
to the control of the Independent
Packing company, and be used by the
cattle growers of the southwest to
oppose the Entertainments of the beef
trust. Trusted members Of the COM
pany, just formed, recently gave out
the report that plants were to be
erected both here and at Kansas City.
These reports are believed to have
been circulated for the double pur-
pose of throwing the Chicago packers
off the track and of helping along the
negotiations for the Upton establish
ment.
General Manager Conybrear in
charge of the Upton plants at the
yards would neither affirm nor deny
that negotiations had been opened for
the plant, but admitted that he had
had some correspondence with
Charles f. Martin Of Denver, who is
secretary of the new packing COM
pany formed by the cattle men, and
secretary of the National Live Stock
association as well.

ords in the corn planting line.
