tract which required us to ice any and
all cars required to be iced there had
never been violated.
1.-The accusation that the Armours
forced all other competitors out of the
field by buying up the peach crop of
Michigan, or refusing cars to other
shippers, is also absolutely untrue. Ar
mour & Co., nor any Of it's allied in
terests, have ever directly or indirectly
bought or dealt in Michigan peaches.
This same denial also applies to the
charge made that the Armours monop-
olized the Georgia peach crop.
Our company can do business
cheaper under exclusive contracts, and
as result we endeavor to make such
agreements with the railroads, but the
allegation that-by these terms the rail-
road companies notify us of intended
shipments of fruits to enable us to
+ flood the market in advance of the ar
rival of Independent shipments is a
falsehood, as there is no ground what
ever for such a statement.
Rates Are Printed
Refrigeration rates charged the
public by Armour & Co. are based on
cost of ice and supervision, together
with a reasonable addition thereto for
general expenses. These rates are
printed and tariffs distributed among
shippers and railways. Our company
has never bought or sold any of the
product transported in it's cars, as
charged by witnesses during the in
vestigation.
The entire proceedings against our
company said Mr.. Robbins, in con-
i clusion, have been characterized by
prejudiced, biased and false testimony,
instituted by this Boston car owner,
who seeks to have the railroads build
their own cars under patents of his
company. This was carefully kept in
the background all during the investi-

Charges Are WilIfuIIy
False

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-A complete de-
nal of the charges made by witnesses
before the interstate commerce COM,
mission investigation of the business
methods of the Armour refrigerator
car lines was made today by a repre-
sentative Of Armour & Co. The testi-
mony offered during the investigation
is declared by the Armour interests to
have been not only prejudiced and
biased, but in many respects false
'The persons making complaints
against the Armour car lines" said
George Robbins. president Of the COM
pany, are not growers or producers,
but league Of commission merchants
who generally handle on an arbitrary
commission basis produce billed to
them. The most sensational of all the
misstatements made against us have
been offered by Boston commission
man before the interstate commerce
commission and the house committee
on interstate commerce. He is the vice
president of a refrigerator car COM
pany and is therefore not disinter-
ested witness. The unwarranted at
tack upon the Armour interests, made
by this Boston man, who, it is alleged
represented the commission men of
Boston, was made up almost entirely
of Misrepresentation either willful or
made in ignorance of conditions gov

commodities.
