The National Packing company wa
Il formed in 1903 as a modified form c
the dream which the packers had il
v dulged as early as 1900 of mergin
Y. their interests in a vast organizatio
something after the manner of III
United States Steel corporation.
was the injunction of Federal Jude
Grosscup in 1902 that prevented tn
o. combine being effected on the large
scope planned.
Y. A year later the National Packin
company became fact, the three hi
-. packing concerns of Chicago each ha
Z ing a portion of the stock. The car
n tai stock was s15,OOOOOO. and jess
il Lyman was the first president. He We
e. succeeded by Samuel MCLEAN. an
at the latter's death by Edward Tide
the present head of the company.
n. In 1910 all of the directors resigne
and a new board was elected. tt
n federal contention in the criminal su
n was that the new board represent,
a III the trust the interests Of the thrt
r. big packers who, it was alleged. h;
@ combined in violation of the She
