PACKERS METHODS REVEALED
VERBAL SYSTEM OF TRANSMIT
TING TEST COST.
Bookkeeper Says Sheets Containing
Data Were Destroyed After Six
Months.

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Methods employ.
ed by the packers, on trial before
United States District Judge George
A. Carpenter for criminal violation Of
the Sherman law, in computing the
uniform test cost Of slaughtered ami
mails which the government contends
was the basis used in fixing the mar
meat, were revealed yesterday by
Henry F. Meyer, an accountant in
the employ Of Armour & Co
He declared that after the injunc-
ton issued by Judge Grosscup in 1902,
the instructions given him by his
superiors regarding the items used in
figuring the test cost were cCmmun-
icated to him verbally and that the
sheets containing the data were al
ways destroyed after six months.
The cost of killing, he said mad
increased from 81 a head to $275 a
head in % years. During the great
railroad strike in 1894 the killig cost,
he said, went to $3.50 head.
He said that two methods were
used in figuring the test cost Of the
animals. One he described as the
memorandum" or red" cost and the
other as the last" or the real test
cost.
The government contends that the
memorandum" or red" test cost is
the one which all the members of the
alleged packers combine used in fixing
the margin of profit and the selling
cost of fresh meat.
The witness explained that the
credit allowance for certain fats had
been decreased from $315 to So
hundred pounds within three years.
