SHOWS WAYS or PACKERS
perience With Railroads and
Cattle Buyers.

The following letter written by a
stock shipper to Capper's Weekly re-
lates an experience of a cattle man
similar to the mes exposed at the
recent hearing at St. Paul. A part
of the letter follows:
II wish to tell you OF my experience
with the Kansas City cattle market.
Last fall | shipped a carload OF cattle
from Newkirk. n. NJ, to Kansas City,
and consigned them to a commission
company. About 8 o'clock AT night we
We're 80 miles from Kansas City.
Instead of carrying me on to Kansas
City SO could unload my cattle, have
them fed and watered 50 as to be
ready for the morning sale they fool
ed along all night, getting into Kansas
City tho next morning at Z o'clock. I
went from the caboose TO the Ey-
change Building, met my commission
nan and told him my cattle were
there, then | found my hotel and got
my breakfast. After breakfast ! went
back to the stock pens to find that the
salesman had just cut my cattle in
lHTee Inherent pens, claS5eu lhem,
as he called it. The feed man just ar
rived to throw hay into the feed raci.
when the salesman brought the Swift
& Company nan to look over the cat
tie. They buyer set his price and the
deal was closed. The salesman told
the yardman to take the cattle to the
scales at once, giving them no time
to eat or drink, l was charged for
the feed, anyhow.
About that time l was believing
that the packers controlled both the
railroads and the stockyards. The
railroads had put me in Kansas City
at Z O'clock, the salesman sold my
cattle IN 10 minutes after they we're
in the pens and they were taken to
the scales without feed or water.
"The packers pay a big price for a
few cattle, then buy thousands of
head for less than they are worth, but
you " see the small prices quot
ed in the stockyards paper.

CAKNER5 CLEAN UP
ON WAR CONTRACTS
Government Pays Higher Prices
Than Charged Regular
Trade.

A new and fragrant case of wal
profiteering has just come to light in
California where the United States
Observation-Disclosures by ~salaried
agents of the Cannery trust-com-
Wandered a large supply of canned
goods at a price more than Is per
cent greater than the canned goods
then were selling at on the open mar
ket.
Later the United States quarter
masters department bought a large
consignment Of canned goods and
here, too, the price paid was more
than Is per cent in excess of the regu-
lar market price. The government
directed as we lave stated before by
salaried agents of the California
Packing corporation interests-refus-
ed to accept a lower price, although q
certain Independent Gamer, who was
a real patriot, protested pga,nst his
over-charge and insisted Supon selling
his goods to the government at the
same price he was charging private
customers. His protests were disre-
SdluCu anu liz CUitt Ilot Sc Inc ~ ltt
lowered, although he made a trip TO
the national CAPITAL for the express
purpose of exposing this proiteering.
Buyer Was Interested.
When he went to Washington. d. c.,
he discovered that the man who had
outlined the governments policy in
regard to purchases of canned goods,
was a Isl a year volunteer, but that
he also was an officer of the Libby
McNei, company and the California
company's payroll, and that his first
assistant also was in the employ Of
the Libby interests. AS more than IS
per cent of all the canned goods sup
piled to the government from Gail
fornia were supplied by the Libby
Mcneil company and the California
Packing corporation. it is not difficult
to see why The employees of this com
pany, temporarily volunteering in the
governments service at a nominal
salary of ST a year" refused to fix q
fair price upon what they purchased
through the government from their
| own employers.
These same corporations never V
erlook an opportunity to parade their
patriotism, but in this particular case
they are guilty Of a conspiracy to rob
the government that borders pe1ilous-
ly close to treason. Some of the mon
ey which is used to finance false and
unfair attacks on the National Non
partisan league NAV have come from
this very source. Almost any profit
eer would think it patriotic to rob
the government and then to use part
Of his ill-gotten GAINS in paving some
prostitute newspaper to fight the far
mers' organization.
