packers have been notified to be ready

General Elliot Majors will resume hil
inquiry into the beef trust. 1t Is ex'

will probe into the ownership OF the
National Packing company, which has
a big plant In East st. Louis. This
Is the name under which the old line
packers combined to buy up the

dendent plants.
At Jefferson City Charles W. Ar

Packing company owned none, the In.
tentlon Of Charles Armour being to
prove that the old line packers are
not in a pool as packers, and only
colncldental joint owners OF stock In
q common concern. The attorney gen.
erals claim is that the National is
the cloak under which the packers are
to control the independent
plants. their scheme being to buy, In
the name Of the National, all small
