Collision in Buying.
"The buyers begin buying at the

one holds off the market, all hold
off. So strong is the influence OF
the big packers buying that the
market is not made until their buy
ers begin bidding. ...
There exists. therefore, for each
OF the big packers, centralized
buying system so simply contrived
and organized that it controls the
smallest details of live stock pur-
chases at each of the markets and
can be set in motion and directed
by a single word. Only few men
in each company need know that
there is an agreement or under

ffty-ffty division of hogs at Sioux
City is of long standing"-the report
added, quoting messages from E..
A. Cudahy to Manager M. R.
Murphy.
AT Omaha" the commission said,
"the division of hog purchases for
many years was, on the following
arbitrary percentage:
Armour 80; Cudahy 80; Swift Is;
Morris Is"

That isl it was stated, there
are only two big packers operating

must support heAmarket alike"
Detailed statements of respective
live stock purchases at the various
markets were appended by the COM
mission in support of its charge that
agreements exist.
1T is obvious" the report con-
tinued, that the live stock pool is
not only an automatic regulator of
the business of each company, but
Nalso secures substantial uniformity
of prices. With each-packer pur-
chasing only certain percentage on
the hoof each is bound to have rel
atively the same proportion of meat
for sale. Thus the competitive
chance that any one of the packers
will flood the market :. is
eliminated. The live stock pool.
therefore, is an effective method of
accomplishing almost the same re-
suits of the yeeder Pool system so
far as the sale of dressed meats is
concerned"
The commission also declared
there is proof that "the big packers
take advantage of live stock pur-
chasers and sellers and added:
THE shipper who refuses to ac-
cept the price offered at the first
market has a chance to sell his live
stock on its merits to small pack
ers, buyers and traders e. but
the chance is slight"
