 CHICAGO. Jan. 13.-Government attorneys prosecuting the Chicago meat packers on charges of criminal violation of the Sherman antitrust law. brought out today the first direct evidence by which they expect to show the packers concealed their profits and set up a false cost price upon which to base the price at which retailers got their supply. The packers charged off, as loss. four to six cents pound for hides and three cents for fat. The consumer had to pay for this sup posed loss. In reality the packers re- ceived from nine to eighteen cents per pound for hides and up to six cents for fats, besides the alleged mythical losses which they charged up against the consumer This is the govern ment's contention as supported by fig ures offered in evidence today. By this system, the government tried to show a false cost price was set, and a hidden excessive profit obtained. H. G. Timmins, chief accountant for Morris and Co. was the principal wit ress at tOday's hearing.
