POOL PROVED BY LETTERS
Packers Lawyer Nervous When
Confronted by Documents.
COVER A DISPUTED PERIOD
Red Test Cost" Admitted by
Armour Manager-Used to Fix
Prices, Government Contends.

Chicago Jan. 3.-Henry Veeder. counsel
for Swift & Co, a government witness i'm
the case against the ten meat packers in
dicted for violating the Sherman law, in
the course Of his direct examination to-
day was confronted with letters sent out
by the packers referring to the shipment
and price OF fresh meat during periods in
which he said there was no pool in exist
ence. The witness apparently grew ner-
vous and declined to deny the genuineness
OF the document
William d. Miles, general manager for
the Armour Packing Company at Kansas
City from 1894 to 1902, testified that the old
packers pools were organized TO prevent
the Cutting of the market with fresh
meat, and that there always was active
competition between the members In all
parts Of the country
Despite the fact that Miles had on two
occasions given testimony against the
packers before federal grand turies, he
proved an unwilling witness to-day, and
little Of value to the governments case
was CLEANED from his direct examination,
which was not concluded when court ad-
journed for the day.
Red Test COST Admitted.
The witness brought out for the first
time that there was a ''black test cost"
and red test cost" used in the book
keeping OF the Armour Packing Company,
the former being used as the fiat price of
the animal and the latter including freight
and other items of expense.
The government contends that the red
test cost" was secretly used by the combi-
nation in the fixing of the price Of meat.
Mr.. Miles told Of the organization OF the
fresh meat combination in 1899, and said ne
attended its Tuesday afternoon meetings in
the Counselman Building almost continu-
ously until 1903. He gave a detailed de-
scription OF the business transacted at the
Tuesday afternoon meetings.
"The day before each meeting each mem
Der received statement showing the num-
Der OF pounds of fresh meat shipped into
the various territories and the average
price received together with a summary OF
the margins OF profits for the previous
week." said the witness.
Under direct examination Henry Veeder
gave from memory the percentages used in
the distribation Of business In Territory
"A" under the packers agreement Of 1898.
as follows: Armour & Co., 2150: the Ar
mour Packing Company, $50; Cudahy &
Co, 500; G. II. Hammond & Co., 1850; Nor
ris & Co., 14cO; Schwarzschild & Sulzber-
ger $50, and Swift & Co, $500.
The witness produced no documentary
evidence. declaring that all records Of the
old packers pool had been destroyed, so
far as he knew.
