Western Rope & Cordage Co.

Speaking of the use of wire
rope in the oil regions for drilling.
cleaning out, pumping and numcr-
ous other purposes, Amos Nit
.cEell, of the Western Rope &
Cordage Co. of this city, iobber in
wire and manila ropes, states that
the increase in the use of wire
rope during the past two years is
something remarkable. 1t is esti-
mated that the amount which will
be used in the Mid-Continent
fields alone during the present
year will be approximately 20,
00o, 900 feet. The Western Rope &
Cordage Co. has the exclusive
agency in the Mid-Continent
fields for the well-known Macon
Der 4 Whyte lines. The Western
has taken single orders for over
sixty miles of wire rope. The
principal trouble al the present
time is in securing adequate sup
plies from the manufacturers.
The time was, and not so many
years ago, when drilling was all
done with manila cables. but after
years Of experimenting it was
found that III drilling wells two
thousand feet or deeper and espe-
cially where the drilling had to
he dene through a hole full of
fluid, wire drilling lines could be
used to great adv antage and con
siderable economy, and the oil
country contractors and operators
were quick to avail themselves Of
tie Improvement, once 1t had been
demonstrated.
The Macomber & Whyto Rope
Co. has specialized in the manu-.
facture of lines for oil well uses,

markets a considerable tonnage in
the central and southern fields.

PROBE FOR ALLEGED STRANGLEHOLD OF
CHICAGO PACKERS ON NATIONS MEAT

How six Chicago packers have
gained stranglehold upon the meat
market of the nation; how these
packers have gained control of the
stock raising business; how they are
forcing the stock-raiSerS to sell cat
tie at prices that grant no profit and
are selling meat at prices so high as
to be prohibitive to the poor man, is
all told of by Congressman Boreland
of Missouri, who yesterday in Wash
ington, introduced a resolution in
congress directing the federal trade
commission to Immediately inVesti-
gate the packers.
Rep. Boreland make accusation
that the packers of Chicago have en-
tered into conspiracy to restrict,
depress and control the bid for cattle
on the hoof and are in conspiracy
to hold up the price of butchered
meat. In listing his charges he in
volved the firms of Armour & Co.,
Cudahy Packing Co., Morris & Co.,
Sulzberger & Sons Co., Swift & Co.
and G. H. Hammond Co.
The Boreland resolution asks the
trade commission to find out:
If packers do not control the price
paid for beef cattle?
If packers do not restrain COM
merce through improper ownership
of stockyards, tanneries, refrigerat-
ing lines and agreements to refrain
from competitive bidding for cattle
offered for sale in public yards?
If packers are not in agreement to
not make more than one bid on one
particular lot of cattle in order to
keep down the price by prohibiting
competitive bidding?
"The packers now own largestoc
wards and are seeking to acquire 9TH
ers and drive all Independent mar
kets out of existence" said Rep.
Boreland. while the stock-raisers
are being squeezed by low prices on
their fat cattle, the conditions of the
market are such as to demand good
