Facts Are Given


WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-The prin-
cipal conclusion to be drawn from this
mass of evidence relating to combina-
tons among the packers, the report
says, are:
That Swift & Co.. Armour & Co.,
Morris & Co, Wilson company, Inc.
and the Cudahy company are in an
agreement for the division of livestock
purchases throughout the United
States according to certain fixed per-
centages.
That this national livestock division.
is reinforced by local agreements
among the members of the general
combination. operating at each of the
principal markets, as at Denver where
Armour and Swift divide their live
stock .50-50"
Collision in buying, the report said,
IS in operation at all principal mar
kets.
The buyers begin buying at the
same time" the report stated. IF one
holds off the market, all hold off. So
strong is the influence of the big pack
ers' buying that the market is not
made until their buyers begin bid
ding"
"Fifty- Fifty" Markets
Oklahoma City, Fort Worth and Den
Yer, the report stated, all are "50-50'
markets.
That is" it was stated, there are
only two big packers operating at each
of these markets, and each packer is
expected to purchase an equal amount
of livestock. At Oklahoma Cityl, Nor
ris & Co. and Wilson & Co. control the
stockyards and buy practically an
equal number of animals.
AT Fort Worth and Denver, Armour
& Co. and Swift & Co. are the only
big packers. The stockyards and alIlea
facilities are jointly controlled. There
fore, both must support the market
alike.
1T is obvious" the report continued
that the livestock pool is not only an
automatic regulator of the business oil
each company, but also secures SUBJ
stantial uniformity of prices. With
each packer purchasing only a certain
percentage on the hoof, they are bound
to have the same proportion of meal
for sale. Thus the competitive chance
that any one of the packers will flood
the market is eliminated.

Caturegli left Aqua Prieta early to-

Immediately after the robbery the
bandits drove the car to point three
miles south of the border, where it was
abandoned The robbers crossed the

EXPECT WILSON
WILL FILL BOTH
OFFICES TODAY


WASHINGTON, Dec. president
Wilson did not leave Washington to-
night and the assumption was that he
would depart some time tomorrow for
New York, where he will board the
liner George Washington on which he
and the other members of the Ameri
can peace delegation will make the
voyage to France.
After addressing congress today the
president devoted his time to clearing
away executive affairs in preparation
for his trip. He walked from the
White House TO the office of the fed
eral trade commission for a brief con-
ference with Chairman William B. Col
yer. Later he went to the war depart
ment for a talk with Secretary Baker,
and afterWard called on Secretary
McAdoo at the treasury department
Inquirers were assured today that it
was the presidents purpose to name a
secretary of the treasury and director
general of railroads before he departs
for Europe. Tonight the president had
a second conference with Mr.. McAdoo
at the Secretary's home, at which Mr..
McAdoo's successors were discussed,
and an announcement of both appoint
ments was expected tomorrow.
In many quarters it is regarded as
almost certain that the president will
select a new director general to sue
ceed Mr. McAdoo, from the present
railroad administration staff and Rob-
ert S. Lovett, director of capital ex-
penditures, is known to be under CON
sideration. Walter d. Hines, assistanf
director general, is said to have ex.
pressed a desire to remain in his pres.
ent position.

"The report was intended for me-" Mr..
Wilson said in a telegram to Governor
Stephens, ito be submitted TO you for
such attention as the facts therein re-

ROME, Dec. 2.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press) s).-Great preparations
are under way here for the visit of
President Wilson. The president
and Mrs. Wilson will be the guests
of the king and queen at the quiri-
nal, and they will occupy the same
apartments as the former German
emperor and empress, during their
visits to Rome, with the addition
of the state suite, which is being
restored and renovated.
1t is proposed that President
Wilson should begin the work of
tearing down the PaIazzo Caffa-

German embassy, where the Ger
man emperor set up throne for
himself. This palace was built in
1880. 1t is located on the Capito-

RAILROAD INQUIRY
To PRECEDE LAWS
FOR MANAGEMENT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Creation of
joint congressional committee, con-
sisting Of members of both houses, to
inquire into the railroad situation, soon
will be sought, it was said today, after
President Wilson had adduced this plan
in his address before congress. This
committee would invite railway eXecu-
tiveS, labor leaders, financial represen-
tatives, officials of the railroad admin
istration and members of the interstate
commerce commission to give their
views as to the best policies for future
management of the railroad lines. The
committee then would attempt to for
mulate a plan for some sort of unified
control and common management,
which most students of railroad matters
are said to advocate, regardless of
whether the government retains or re-
linquishes its present control.
The need for haste in this program
was explained today by the president,
and emphasized later by railroad ad-
ministration officials, who admitted
they anticipate difficulty in carrying
out plans for acquiring new equipment,
distributing it among roads, and MAX
ing extensive improvements contem-
plated for next year, without stretch

PROVIDE
REGULAR ARMY Of
HALF MILLION MEN
Navy Demands Indicate En-
larged Force = Revised
Appropriations Show
Three-year Program to be
Carried Out
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Dec. "A regular
army of approximately half a million
men is provided for, specifically, in es-
Inmates submitted to congress today
for the fiscal years 1920, beginning next
July. Detailed items on the pay of
the army show that in the total of
81. l.922, ,000,0 asked for, exclusive of the
fortification estimates, provision is
made for the payment of only 21,250
officers and 3S2,667 men of the line, and
approximately 10000 non -combatant
troops, with the requisite staff officers.
The inclusion in the estimates how
ever, of five items of pay. with nom
inal appropriation of 500 each asked
shows that the whole question of the
strength of the army. after the con-
clusion of peace, has been deferred,
and the supplemental estimates are to
be expected under these headings when
it is possible to present a completed
project. The items thus held in sus-
pension are those providing for the pay
of reserve and national guard officers
and men.
The naval estimates are framed on
an exactly opposite theory, every pro-
vision being made for steady and rapid
increase of the fleet, a total of ap-
proximately s434.000,000 being asked.
OF that sum $500, 100000 is the first in
crement of the proposed new three
year building program, providing for
ten additional dreadnoughts, six battle
cruisers and 140 other fighting craft.
The remainder of the $434,000,000 would
go to complete ships of the first three
year program.
1920 Demands Larger
Secretary Daniels has renewed also
the naval emergency fund item, under
which congress appropriated 100000,
900 last year, to provide for the con-
struction of additional destroyers, sub
marine chasers and other special craft,
| and to expedite construction work. This
year, however, the department asks for
s175, 100000.
| The total appropriation for the naval
establishment is estimated at s.. 2.644,
| 600, 900. or an increase of approximately
la billion dollars over appropriations

the navy item stands at 1919, ,946. .000
