evidence that the price of meat was
fixed and the business apportioned on
q non-c n-compotitiye basis by the pack
ers at their weekly meetings, was in
troduced by the government today at
the trial of the ten Chicago packers
before Federal Judge Carpenter.
Special Counsel Butler read several
letters received by Mr.. Miles, manager
OF the Armour Packing company, at
Kansas City in Jane. 1897, in which
the amounts of beef to be shipped TO
certain eastern markets were given
and the price to be charged, based on
Il margin of fifty cents on the uniform
cost estimated by the packers was
namea
Rcfutcs Ncedcr's Testimony.
The letters also flatly refuted the
statement of Henry Veeder on the wit
ness stand that no meetings of tho
packers to fix prices and apportion
business We're held between April,
1897, and January. 1898, when 'sta.
tistical bureau was maintained to
compile records of meat shipped and
prices obtained at different points
Miles, who severed his connection with
the Armour interests in 1903 will, 1t
is said, be one of the star witnesses
for the government
One of the letters dated June 20,
1897, read in part:
Dear Sir: This afternoon it was
agreed that each party Will not ship
the current week in excess of ship
ments agreed upon for last week.
HOW 1t Was Proportioned.
"Boston: At this point it was agreed
that each party in interest Will not
ship during the current week in eX-
cess of his proportion of total ship
ment of 100 cars. basing such propor-
ton on the average weekly shipments
TO Boston for the eight weeks ending
June 20, 1897. 1t was also agreed that
parties in interest would endeaVor to
obtain for the current week margins
of fifty cents.
Pittsburg: 1t was agreed that each
party in interest would not ship in
excess of 80 per cent of the average
weekly shipment for the four weeks
ending June IL, 1897"
Several similar letters were intro
duced by the government and 1t was
pointed out that they were all un-
signed and in the form Henry Needer
testified the packers letters were
written
