PACKING FIRMS
DECLARED GUILTY
SUPREME COURT SAYS KANSAS
CITY CONCERNS MUST PAY
THEIR FINES.
Burlington Railroad Likewise Held
For Relating Must Also Pay
Fines.

The supreme court Of the United
States in decision handed down
Monday Init four packing companies
doing business in Kansas City rather
a crushing blow by upholding the
decision of the district court for wes-
tern Missouri in fining the packers
$4,000 apiece for rebating. The
action of the supreme court also
makes the Burlington guilty of al
lowing the rebates and the railroad
must also dig up fine for the Of
fense. The opinion of the court
was made public by Justice Day.
Those dissenting were the chief JUS
tice and Justices Brewer and Peck
ham. 1t was decided that the Mis-
souri, court was without jurisdiction
in the matter.
The four packing firms held to be
guilty are the Morris, Armour Swift
and Cudhay concerns. They were
first convicted with the Burlington
at Kansas City in June, 1906. AT
the same time New York broker
and his clerk were sentenced
for obtaining the concessions.
The specific charge on which the
defendants were held was for accept
ing and giving a rate of twenty
three cents a hundred weight on
shipments between the Mississippi
river and New York. The rate pub
lished in the tariffs was thirty-five
cents.
