any member of the pool had tried
to cheat.
There were bitter quarrels be-
tween the millionaire packers at
some of these meetings. There
were accusations of double deal
ing passed across the table with
bitter wrangling until far into the
night.
Once the feud became so it
ter that the pool was disbanded,
and was out of existence for two
years.
After the last weeks business
had been discussed the packers
settled by ballot on the appor-
tionment of business for the COM
ing week.
That ballot decided just how
much Beef each concern could
buy, how much it could sell in
each city of the United States.
and how much profit it could
make from the sales.
Tuesday night, Henry Veeder
mailed to the managers of the six
members of the combine, two re-
ports.
The first was a resume of the
last weeks business of each con-
Germ. 1t showed the profit or loss
of the last weeks business of
each concern, and it fixed the
fines for violations of the pooling
contract during the previous
week.
The fine was 40 cents a hun
dredweight for each car of beef
sold in violation of the contract
