PACKERS FIX PRICES
Swift, Cudahy, Hammond and
Nelson Morris in Conspiracy
A telegram form Jefferson City, Mo-.

A telegram form Jefferson City. Mo.
says:
The Armour, Swift, Cudahy and
Hammond packing companies, with
others, have been found guilty of con-
spring to fix and maintain the price
of dressed beef and fresh pork.
This is the gist of the report OF
Special Commissioner I. II. Kinley of
Kansas City, who was appointed by
the state supreme court to take tes-
timony in the custer suit of Attorney
General Crow against the packers for
violation of the antitrust laws. The
report was filed today The conten-
ton of the attorney general that inn
pure meat was sold is not sustained
Attorney General Grow announced to-
night that he would file an exception
ON that point. The case will be on the
report on January &c.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1903-01-06
Prices Agreed Upon.

The commissioner finds that be-
tween Aug. 81, 1899, and May 9, 1902,
that corporation, through its agents,
representatives and cooler managers,
entered into combination and agree
ment with Morris & Co, and Cudahy
Packing company at Kansas City, Mo,
engaged in the same business as res.
spondent by which the price for
dressed beef and dressed pork was
fixed and agreed upon to be sold to the
butchers at Kansas City.
And that such list or fixed prices
SO agreed upon We're maintained by
Schwarzschild G. Sulzberger. and
dressed beef and dressed pork sold
to the butchers and the trade at Kan
sas City at prices so fixed, though
there We're several instances where
the companies would cut by giving
rebates in pounds of meat.
Your commissioner finds that the
testimony does not show that SchWar-
zschild & Sulzberger sold unwhole-
some dressed beef" the report con
cludes.
The report finds that the Henry
Krug Packing company of ST. Joseph
was not guilty, as it was not in the
combinations.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1903-01-06
Rebates Were Given.

1T was proved in many instances
that the cooler managers of the sev.
eral dressed beef companies to secure
trade or induce purchasers would
agree to give rebates in money or in
pounds of meat, and in the bills for
such meat would be made out to the
butcher at the fixed price, and subse-
quently at the settlement the rebates
were shown to have been given as
agreed and the purchasers requested
to maintain secrecy in regard to the
same.
"In one or two instances where it
was discovered that rebates had been
given by one of the companies the So

Coming Events For January

much trouble during the fore part OF
this month.
However, during the middle and lat
ter part. they will be more than for

During the fore part of January.
much trouble is indicated to occur in
mines or in underground employment
and we shall hear of the fall of public
buildings
This will be mere than fortunate
and prosperous month for all places Of
amusement. and for schools. children
and hotels. and pleasures will be un-

The fore part of this month will
be very evil for land owners farmers

part of this month will be unusually
fortunate and prosperous for them and
for miners as well.

Among the findings of the commits
sioner are tfeo following:
The testimony shows that your
commissioner finds that Armour, Ham
mond, Swift. the Cudahy Packing
company and the Nelson Morris com
pany, al 81. Joseph, between Aug. 2l,
1899, and May Q, 1902, by their man
ayers and agents, who had charge of
their respective coolers at said place,
entered into an agreement, confeder-
atiGn. combination and understanding
between themselves. and with each
other to fix. regulate and control the
prices of dressed beef and fresh pork
slaughtered. manufa ctured, prepared
and offered for sale or to be sold by
said companies to the retail butchers
and others at ST. Joseph.
"That said corporations together
with Nelson Morris & Co., agreed

to maintain and control the price Of
such dressed beef and fresh pork, and
that in pursuance to said agreement
to fix, maintain and regulate the
prices for which dressed beef and

panies between Aug. 81, 1899. and
May 9, 1902. have sold to the butch.
ers of st. Joseph said dressed beef
and fresh pork at the price fixed, reg
uated and maintained, except where
said respondents gave rebates in
money or in pounds of meat to their
customers. The managers and solici.
tors of said dressed beef companies
would advise their customers, the
butchers that they had better pur
chase dressed beef before certain
times, as the price would be adyanc-
ed on a certain ely and the price for
such dressed beef and fresh pork
would be advanced on said day.

Eng Mr.. E. J. Thompson, a popular
local school teacher, for Diabetes.
They told him that but little could be
done to help him. He made up his
mind to try new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and says:
They saved me when the doctors
held out no hope. l took in all about
ten boxes. l will always praise Dodds
Kidney Pills for the great good they
have done for me-"
Many people. and some physicians,
still persist in the belief that Diabetes
is an incurable disease. Our teacher,
Mr. Thompson, says it is durable, for
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him after
two good physicians had treated him
tor two years without success.
A remedy. that will cure Diabetes
will surely cure any case of Kidney
