Is Gigantic Concern.

The National Packing Company is one
of the largest corporations in the world
and its activities extend throughout the
United States and Europe. 1t was
formed seven years ago with a capital of
1000, 900. and it is said that through its
branches it handles $500 OOO. 600 worth of
meat and other foods in a year. Its
main offices are in the Rookery building.
In Chicago, within easy reach of the head
quarters of the great pac King companies,
for which it is supposed to be the get
together ground
The price of cattle on the hoof. as has
been frequently pointed out in other in
vestigations, is controlled from Chicago
through an agency which often has been
under suspicion, and from Chicago are
sent the bulletins when it is believed the
consumers Will submit TO another increase
Of price. The supplies are transported
across the continent in refrigerator cars
to the great storage warehouses In the
east, where they are kept frozen often for
months pending the careful bracing of
the rates.
Meats, eggs, butter and such comesti-
bles are bought for small sums and Sc
questered until they are to come from
their retirement with enhanced values.
The New Jersey grand jurors regard
this proceeding as a violation of the COM
mon law and for days have been hearing
witnesses. Managers and employees of
the firms and companies accused have
been before the jury in the last three
weeks, and there also have been investi-
cations into the length of time food was
stored in the refrigerating establishments.
Investigating Food.
Mr.. Garven in addressing the grand
jury said that in his opinion the testimony
of witnesses proved conclusively that at
certain periods. often three or four times
a week, the managers of the various
plants In Jersey City received Instructions
TO change the price of foods without any
reference to the laws of supply and de-
mand. The testimony also developed that
for months meats had been held in stor-
age.
The authorities of Jersey City have had
the cooperation of the state board of
health at Trenton in the effort to learn
whether the foods are deleterious.
George 7. Vickers, the assistant prose-
cutor. also had a consultation with DIR.
Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist of the
United States Department Of Agriculture.
The advice Of these experts will determine
what steps. il any, will be taken against
the companies on the score of public
health.
Dealers in this city are looking forward
with much interest 10 the report of the
Department of Agriculture on the eggs
