SAYS BEEF BARONS
FIX FOOD PRICES
FEDERAL INVESTIGATOR PROM
ISES FURTHER SENSATIONS
IN PROBE.

A food trust organized by the big
beef baronsg used the war-made op-
portunity to boost prices. Francis ].
Heney, federal trade commission ex-
aminer, who has been probing the
packing house situation, charged this
week. fsit
Subject to the mandate OF this Sc
cret merger, he declared, are uriceS

leather, grain and canned goods.Gs
Heney promised 70 uncover the
track Of this food merger in . series
Of public hearings TO follow the com.
missions sessions ct the national
capital during the past two weeks.
which disclosed the fiscal lesbf1e-
main by which control Of the Chica-
60 stock yards was obtained bysAh
big packers. Future hearings. Heney
indicated, may be held in Chicago
when the Washington sessions 4 are
concluded shortly after the holidays.
Drastic legislation to checkmate
food gambling is considered certain
to follow the commissions diselos-
ures, probably in the present com
gress. &
I'VE intend to get the goods, Oh
these people and smash this food
monopoly said Heney. "Our inveSl
tigators have trailed the trust for the
last four months in various parts OF
the country. af rs
THE disclosures to date are the
result only of their probing in Bos-
ton financial houses"
This weeks hearings in the COM
missions Offices was. devoted to
Strengthening the connecting links
of the old Chicago stockyards COM
pany and the present packers con-
troll.
I'VE know that Armour was get
ting his slice of stockyards profit"
Heney announced. "Now we, want
to show that Swift, Morris and other
packers were also getting theirs"
Wilson and Cudahy also were in
the combine, according to Heney.
The size of their profits was shown
in testimony that Armour & Co.. an
nually from 1910 on, realized more
than $4,000 1t invested in the new
stock yards company, besides split
ting 100000 urplus with other
packers that had accrued to the old
company. ~
A network of inter-related stock
yards throughout the country, In
which Armour was shown to hold
stock secretly, was revealed by
Heney.
Control of trade publications by
the packers was charged.
Launching his attempt to show
that the packers extended their reins
to grain, poultry, canned goods and
other food products, Heney also de-
veloped that they controlled various
cottonseed oil plants.

If 1t does not pay to advertise why
are the most successful business men
always persistent advertisers? Is the
squandering of money for that which
brings no returns the one of the re-
quisites of success? These are prob
lens that every business man will do
well to ponder in his mind. Although
the object of advertising is not to draw
trade away from competitors but to
stimulate desire on the part of the
public for the service you can render
them you will find that the man who
advertises, (all other things being
equaD has his competitors beat mile
so far as doing business is concerned.
