COMMISSION REPORTS ON
 PACKERS COMBINATION
FIVE BIG CONCERNS CHARGED WiTH CONTROLLING PRAc- TICALLY ALL FOOD
 STUFrS.

Washington, Dec 2.--The federal trade commission, in a supplemental report submitted to congress today charged the five big meat packing companies of the country with 0 com binatiou in restraint of trade and with controlling the sale of live stocks and fresh meats
 Evidence Is cited at length to sup port the charges Swift and Com pany, Armour and Company Morris end Company, Wilson Company, inc, and the Cudahy Packing Company are named
 Regarding the alleged packers combination regulating the sale of meat products in this country. the report said
 Their present agreement as to the division of livestock purchases resulted in limiting the amount Of dressed meats each will have for sale in proportion approximately to the percentage of live animals pur- hased under the purchase agree ment By a regular inspection of one anothors branch houses stoca they are enabled to prevent an over supply Of fresh meat in any market. By their exchange of information as to the margins on sales of meat at the different markets they are able 10 keep their average prices so uni form that practically every retail butcher examined on this point by the agents of the commission stated that for the same kind of grade of meat, there is no perceptible differ ence in the price charged ny tho different big packers. The exceptions are cases where a rotation in price -cuttlny is practlced in order to drwe an independent out of the market" The five concerns, 1t is charged, not only make agreements with small packers as to the p-lces 10 be charg- cd for meats, but they also act to- gether 10 drive out of business, inde- pendent concerns by reducing prices
 Tho report cites an instance of rotation in local prince cutting" by four of the big packers at San Anto- u0, 1eyas, where they compete with Independent companies
 Regarding agreements in other lines of business in which the pack CTS are interested, the commission reached the following conclusions:
 That in the sale of lard substi- tutes there is an agreement to charge fixed prices.
 That in the purchase Of cheese thcro is a division of territory and a joint manipulation of prices.
 That in the purchase of butter cream, poultry and eggs. there is a combination in the form either of the division of territory or price agree ments.
 That In the purchase of fats from retail butchers and in the general conduct of the business of rendering, thara are divisions of territory agree ments and various collusive and un- fair practices"
