CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-When Henry
Veeder, secretary of the packers con-
ference known as "P. O. Box 247,"
manager of the statistical bureau ana
agent for all the packers in their al
legged joint agreements, resumed his
direct testimony at the trial of the
oaef barons' before Federal Judge
Carpenter today, it was agreed that
the estimony most vital to the prov
ing of the governments case had been
submitted. Veeder will probably fin
ish his direct testimony today. His
admissions under pressure, have
demonstrated that Notwithstanding
federal injunction issued against them
in 1908, the packers continued their
secret meetings for eight months after
| the National Packing company was
formed in March of that year.
veeder admitted, when Attorney
/ Pierce Butler logged his memory by
presenting his own letters, that
meetings were held each week by rep
resentatives of the Big Six" at which
territories were fixed and allotted,
Veeder identified a mass of documen-
tary proof consisting of instructions
from the conferences to the individual
4 packers informing them by secret
signs of the amount of meat they
might ship to a given district each
week Other letters showed penalties
assessed for violations of the instruc
tions. 1t developed that the penaltie:
