power and the giving OF places in these
divisions as rewards for political relations.
This appellate division has been broken

THERE is A BEEF TRUST
SUCH Is THE FINDING OF A SPECIAL
COMMISSIONER IN MISSOURI.
Several Big Packing Companies
Charged with Combining to
Maintain Prices.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, Jan. Especial
Commissioner 1. H Kinley, of Kansas
City, appointed to take testimony in the
custer proceedings of Attorney General
Grove on the charge of the existence of a
beef trust, filed his report in the Supreme
Court tonight. 1t finds that the Armour
Packing Company, Nelson Morris & Co..
Swift & Co. the Hammond Packing Com
pany, the Cudahay Packing Company and
the ScLwartzschild & Sulzberger Company
are guilty of entering into an agreement
to fix and maintain the prices for the sale
of dressed beef and pork in Missouri, not
all Of the companies, however. operating in
ST. Joseph. Kansas City and ST. Louis. 1t
is set forth that prices were fixed through
agents, managers and solicitors and many
times by managers of refrigerators in these
cities The Henry Krug Packing Company,
of st. Joseph, was found not to have been
in the combination and consequently the
report will release it from legal proceed
ings.
Regarding findings as to meat sold in ST.
Louis the report says: 81 find that the
Armour, Swift, Cudahay and Hammond
packing companies between Aug. q, 1899.
and May g. 1902, at st. Joseph, are guilty
of having been parties to combination and
agreement and confederation. and con-
spiracy to fix and regulate and control and
maintain the fixed or list price on dressed
beef and fresh pork sold through their re-
spective coolers in st. Louis to the butchers
trade and consuming public at that place.
and that they did ask. sell and receive
the price so fixed from said butchers for
dressed beef and fresh pork sold to them.
They cannot plead that the managers of
their coolers and city solicitors who carry
on the business for them did Ii without
their knowledge and consent. Local agents
of the dressed beef companies did it and
all know il, and their knowledge is the
knowledge of their companies and their
acts are the acts of their companies.
1T appears from the evidence and L find
that the corporations who are the de-
PENDANTS at St. Joseph, st. Louis and Kan
sas City sell and offer to the trade at each
point 50 to so per cent. of the dressed beef
handled and from so to go per cent. of the
dressed pork"
