Swift G Company

Louis, st. Joseph, St. Paul and Fort
Worth. The same methods of pur-
chasing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail
at all cities. At Chicago, which Is
the largest market, there are about
two hundred and fifty buyers, repre-
various cities and exporters. OF this
number, less than a score are employ
ed by Swift & Company.
The farmer ships his live stock to
Chicago. consigns them to a commits
sion firm at the Union Stock Yards.
who sees that they are unloaded and
put in pens. Then the buyers inspect
them, make their offers to the COM
as his judgment dictates. All buying
must be finished at o'clock each day,
and the buyer must pay spot cash.
If the commission man has no salts
factory offers, he can hold his stock
over to the next day. He gets his
commission from the farmer, and nat
ura1ly strives to get the highest pos
sible price for his client.
Wholesale Distributing Houses.
A wholesale distributing house is
giant refrigerator, but instead of
shelves there are trolley rails, from
which are suspended hooks to hang
the carcasses. Some of the houses
cost as much as a hundred thousand
dollars to build and equip. AS a rule
they are of pressed brick, the insides
being 1ined-foor, walls and ceiling
with highly polished hardwood. The
floors are covered daily with fresh
sawdust, and all are kept spotlessly
clean. There are over three hundred
of these Wholesale houses in various
cities Of the United States. and the
public is always welcome to visit
them.
Packing Plants.
All the Swift & Company plants are
located at the great live stock mar
kets, in the heart of the great agri-
cultural sections, where can be pur-
chased the finest grades OF cattle,
sheep and hogs. We have seven pack
ing plants. employing at each from
two to eight thousand persona
The following gives the locations
and sizes of the different plants:

This total is realized from the sale
OF fresh meats (beef, mutton and
pork, provisions, produce (poultry,
butter and eggs), soaps, Clues, oils,
bones, fertilizers, feathers, castings,
hides, woods, pe1ts and other by-prod-
ucts derived from cattle, sheep, hogs
and poultry.
Margin of Profit.
The industry is operated on a mar
gin of less than cents to each dol
lar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands of
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States,
who buy their live stock in competi-
ton with the packer doing an inter-
state and International business. Like
wise the packer must sell in compe-
tition with the local slaughterers.
There are no secret processes in the
industry, no complicated and expen-
sive factories, and as live stock can
be purchased in almost every hamlet
and city, and the preparation of
meats is simple in the extreme, local
slaughtering will long remain a fac
tor in the production of fresh meats
and provisions
Economic Advantages.
The large packing houses will, how
ever, always have these advantages:
Locations at the chief live stock CEN
tiers, with the opportunity to buy the
best live stock; manufacturing in
large quantities, at the minimum of
expense; utilization of all waste mate
rial; refrigeration; mechanical appli-
ances; highly efficient business man.

fected in the quality of the packers
output, quality that has reached its

Mike and Pat worked for q wealthy
farmer. They planned to turn burg
lars and steal the money which the
farmer had bid in one OF the rooms Of
his house. They waited until mid.
night, then started to do the job.
In order to get the money they had
to pass the farmers bedroom. Mike
says: "Ill 60 first, and if it's all
right you can follow and do just the
same 40 l."
Mike started to pass the room. Just
as he got opposite the door the floor
creaked. This awoke the farmer, who
called out, "Who's theref"
Mike answered with . meaow"

being awake, too, said: "Oh, John,

former and a standpatter, and that he
may lead a movement for tariff re.
vision in 1905" and then it has this to
say:
"Mr. Roosevelt has written nothing,
distinctly and unequivocally stating
his position since he withdrew from
the Free Trade club, but it has been
given out at Oyster Bay this summer
that he is fully in accord with the
views of Speaker Cannon and Mr..
Sherman, which have been summar-
lied in the language OF gamblers and
beggars: "Stand pat and pass the
hat"
Under the caption, "The Motive Be-
hind The Big Stick" it is charged
that President Roosevelt favors big
corporations in Porto Rico and the
Philippines and that lie would make
laws advantageous for them; that he
wants big military and naval force
to include subsidized merchant ma.
rine, and that he has perverted the
Monroe doctrine in the interest of the
asphalt trust in Venezuela. 1t is said
that not unless he found it necessary
to win Democratic support for his pol.
icy Of imperialism did he ever say
word in praise OF any Democratic
achievement. Quotations follow from
some Of the Presidents books referring
in alleged uncomplimentary terms to
Jefferson, Madison, Benton and others.
"These libelous and scsndalous say.
ings," il is declared, "reflect the true
spirit Of Theodore Roosevelt. What
he now says is said only to win ap.
proval for the big stick policy by
insinuating that such Q policy was
really inaugurated by Jefferson and
Monroe and not by 'the big American
corporations, which be is serving and
which he is seeking to entrench in
the Philippines, Porto Rico and Cuba
and Santo Domingo. Even when he
tells the truth he does go in order TO
disguise an evil purpose or to justify
by precedent the wicked policy. Sure
ly no one who loves sincerity will be
influenced by the utterances of Mr..
Roosevelt"
The charge is then made that "the
President favors certain railroads and
accepts gifts from them-violated the
interstate Commerce law-demands
and receives money in favored banks
without interest; diverts funds ap.
propriated for one purpose to another
allows public money to pay for liter.
ary bureau to defend his policy.
"Mr. Roosevelt has shown greater
regard for the interests OF corpora.
tions and less for the law than any
other Executive the country has ever
had"
Maintaining that the principles OF
the Democratic party definitely and
always have opposed monopoly. it is
stated that the Democrats were the
first to introduce antitrust bills,
whereas the first resolution to investi.
gate the trusts was not accepted by a
Republican Senate.
