PACKING CONTROL
SHOWN IN BOSTON

Boston, Dec. 29.--At the opening
of the packing house industry inves-
tigation here by the federal trade
commissioner was brought out that
various rendering companies in fhls
vicinity we're now controlled by the
large packing companies.
Mr.. Heney, witness, brought out
that the combination Of rendering
companies brought about by the
packers made it difficult for nonren-
dering firms to enter the field. The
same conditions prevail throughout
the country, Mr.. Heney asserted, with
gentlemen's agreements to divide
territory and tie up customers for
life.
In Boston, the firm Of McCaffery &
Co., of Pawtucket, r. l., is trying to
fight the combination, he said. 1t
developed in the testimony that 9th
er firms trying to enter the field had
been driven out of business.
