SWIFT GLADLY PAYS
TO GET "COMPETlTOR"

He went to Chicago. He called on
Mr. Swift at 9 a. m. one day, told
him what sacrifices St Paul was will
ing to make to get Armour and begged
Mr.. Swift to come across with the
other half million. Swift said he
would. Mr.. Gordon took hope, went
direct to Mr.. Armours office, reach
ing there at 10 a. M, and told Armour
that the full bonus had been arranged
for. Mr.. Armour smiled. Mr.. Gordon
called up Swift on the telephone, and
Mr.. Swift came over to Armour's Of
flee and closed the deal:
In other words, in order to make
sure that Competition would be es-
tablished in the South St. Paul stock
yards, Mr.. Swift, who absolutely con-
trolled the market, offered his biggest
Competitor" Armour, 100000 to come
in and compete" with him. This is
the kind of competition" the farmers
and consumers of the Northwest got,
the great stimulus that the newspapers
said would result from getting an
outside" packing house into the yards.
Mr.. Gordon came home and began
to raise the money. The first 100000
worth of stockyards stock was deliver
ed to Mr.. Armour through the First
National bank Of st. Paul, the small
certificates Of numerous persons being
turned over on demand, and being con-
centrated into one new certificate for
1000 shares donated to Mr.. Armour.
Mr.. Swift promised to see that Mr..
Armour got the additional 5000 shares
Of stock which would complete the
100000 bonus he was to get, but this
could not be done without comforting
with stockholders in England. The
story of how they, and other small

some months, but in brief this is what
occurred:
Mr.. Gordon talked over the PROPOSE
tion with Louis F. Swift, but Swift
told him not to hurry, that Armour
would come in good time. He appear
ed not to want competition" Then
Gordon went to J. Ogden Armour, and
Armour assumed great Indifference.
Said he didn't care to do tit was
pretty big proposition, etc., etc-and
Mr.. Gordon reported failure. A month
later Gordon saw Armour again, and
was told that IF-IF Mr.. Armour did
decide to come to St. Paul, he would
have to have 10000 shares of the stock
of the South St. Paul Stockyards COM
pany. That would be $1,00O,0O0. Cor
don went home to St. Paul and re-
ported but was sent back post haste
on this hint of Mr.. Armour's generous
concession, and told to "Jew him
down" if he could, but get him anyway.
Gordon went back prepared to guar
antee 100000 in cash to be raised by
subscription, and 100000 in stock

FACTS AND CAMOUFLAGE
AT ST. PAUL HEARING

The public had been led to suppose
that the only thing that would be dis
closed by the St. Paul inquiries would
be the interesting question as to what
became of the $5OO,OOO that st. Paul
citizens subscribed to bribe Armour &
Co., to enter the St. Paul livestock
market Gin competition with Swift &
Co. And even this, it was announced
over and over, the public already knew.
The big business newspapers did all
they could to make the people think
there was nothing worth asking ques-
tions about in the South st. Paul
market, the fifth largest packing and
livestock point in the United States,
and now being doubled in capacity.
But this is pretty interesting infor-
nation isn't it? Swift & Co. got the
original packing plant at South st.
Paul, the land that went with it, the
belt line railroad that connects the
yards with the transcontinental rail-
way lines, and $1,O00,000 worth of
stock in the stockyards company for
the sum of only $4,000! Here is the
clue to the whole story of how the
Northwest has been levied upon for
tribute to the beef barons. That was
Swift's inducement to come here. And
when the people, tired of a one-man
market, determined to get Armour to
come in, Armour demanded $1,000,000
likewise, either cash or stock in the
stockyards company-and Swift guar
anteed half of this
Mr.. Swift was quite affable about it
too, according to G. w. Gordon, who
told this part of the story. The st.
Paul business men formed "citizens'
committee" to get another packing
plant. Mr.. Gordon was appointed am
bassador to visit the distant packing
sovereigns. The negotiations had al
ready extended over several years,
and Armour had threatened to go and
establish independent yards in Mime
apolis-but hadn't done it-when the
"citizens' committee" determined to
get him at South st. Paul at any cost.
The negotiations dragged along for
