INSIDE HISTORY OF PACKERS
COMBINE IS TOLD BY VEEDER

Veeder said Edward j. Martin,
representing J. Armour, was at
these conferences" as chairman
of the pool. 1t was at his orders
that the penalties were assessed.
Veeder said he had nothing but
the agreements of the packers as
to division of territory and de-
clared the other records had been
lost He admitted that the pen
alties and assessments collected
from the packers who violated
their agreement from time to time
were turned over pro rata to those
who shipped less than their agreed
amount to any given territory.
The government lawyers claim
this shows conclusively that the
packers divided the profits of the
pool and shouldered its losses to-
gether. They declared that when
prices began to decline in any
given territory, the shipments
there were curtailed and were
kept down by agreement unril
prices rose again.

These troops are numbered
among the deserters. They COM
prise practically the entire imper-
ial army in that section, and the
wholesale detection is taken as a
sign of the ultimate total disin-
tegration of the Manchu dynasty.
Dissatisfaction was spread
among the imperial troops by the
inability of the Manchu govern
ment to pay them.
Agents of the proclaimed repub-
lie succeeded in getting within
the ranks of the troops there, and
by promising soldiers regular pay
plotted the wholesale desertions.
Imperialists at Pekin are pre-
pairing for their last stand, and
are planning massacre of all Chi
nese residents at the approach of
the republicans.
Should the revolt of the north
ern troops extend to the north
east, the escape of the royal fam
lily will be almost completely cut
off.
