PACKERSIN BAD Way
MORE SENSATIONAL INFORMATION
SECURED AGAINST THEM,
Secret Service Men Were Sent to CHI
cago by President RooseVelt-Re-
port Will Make Beef Trust Back Up
in Its Fight Against Congress and
the President.

Secret service men are reported to
have sensational information in their
possession as TO the use of preser-
yatlyes by the beef trust. They were
sent 10 Chicago by order Of the presi-
dent as soon as he had been advised
verbally of the results of the investi-
CATION Of Labor Commissioner Neill
and James Reynolds. 1t is said that
they have concluded an exhaustive in
quiry, which will not only bring the
packers to their knees, but will re-
move the power of the influences that
are being exerted against congress
and the great cattle interests with a
view of forcing the president to CAPT
tulate.
This pressure has become gigantic.
Every business, political and financial
ramifcation of the great trust is be-
ing utilized directly and indirectly to
have a halt called on governmental
exposure and, if possible, get an Of
fetal declaration that the portrayal
of conditions in the packing houses
has been exaggerated. The cattle in
terests of the great west and south-
west which for years have been clam
Oring in congress and outside of it
for protection against the trust are
being persuaded that continue
ton of governmental hostility will
ruin them.
A cry of panic has been raised. Not
only the bankers handling the trusts
funds, but their employees. friends and
acquaintance in the business, social
and political world have been enlisted
to use their efforts in a gigantic strug-
gle that is now in progress to stem
the tide against the packers.

ANOTHER ROCKEFELLER TRUST.
Have Got q Monopoly On the Eubbe
Business.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr, and his
brother in law, (. d. Aldrich, son Of
Senator Aldrich have startled the
financial centers of the world with a
coup which rivals the feats Of their
respective fathers in the handling Of
money and poL..lcs and the eXtermiEa-
ton Of competitors. The two young
men have followed the Standard Oil
example in that they have selected the
product Of nature-rubber-aboout
which 10 build a powerful monopoly
by controlling not only the source Of
supply. but the means by which it
can be refined into an article Of mer-
chandise.
Already they have caused the loss
Of many millions TO the rubber trust,
their rivals.
The Continental Rubber Company
Of America is the concern Of which
young Rockefeller and Aldrich are the
heads. It has come into the rubber
business with such a weight Of money
that the price of rubber has been
driven down so that the estimate Of
last years crop, S116,I5S, 900, would
dwindle TO $4,000, 900 if sold at the
price quoted under Rockefeller.
