GENERAL STRIKE IN
Big HOTELS Is NEAR
Walters and Kitchen Forces
Demands Refused Peremp-
torily by Employers.

Patrons OF the city's big hotels and
leading restaurants face the prospect
of taking their meals to-day in aq
atmosphere OF heated belligerency.
A general strike of dining room
and kitchen help is imminent. The
sporadic disputes, quarrels, strikes
and lockouts of the last Ave years seem
on the point of eliminating In a finish
fight between the contending parties.
The strike OF walters and cooks
which began in October at the Hotels
McAlpin, Waldorf Astoria, Claridge
and Astor. extending subsequently to
six other hotels. spread yesterday to
three large restaurants and seems
likely toy take in many others. \
The Restaurateurs Society has made
common cause with the Hotel Mems
Association At joint meeting yester-
day in the rooms of the hotel associa-
ton, Fifth avenue and Thirty-third
street, the strike situation was gone
over.
The position taken by the joint
forces OF the hotel and restaurant men
yesterday amounts to defiance. calling
upon the striking walters and kitchen
men to begin their of: threatened
general strike so that all may see what
will happen.
Ultmatums had been delivered by
the union delegates Sunday night to
the managers OF all the leading res
taurants. Some of them. fearing a
complete tieup, were inclined to give
in. Reisenweber's, Lorber's and Lu-
elbows, however, Immediately accepted
the challenge and installed new sets of
walters and cooks. The striking men
were replaced by mattresses. and ne
groes were put in charge OF the SER

CHARGES s PACKERS
WITH MEAT CONTROL
Federal Trade Commission in
Report to Congress Tells
of Buyers Pool.
PROOF IS DOCUMENTARY
Swift, Armour, Norris, Wilson
and Cudahy Concerns
Are Included.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Federal
Trade Commission, in a supplemental
report submitted to Congress to-day,
charges the FIVE big meat packing
comma MES of the country with a COM
bnation in restraint OF trade and with
controlling the sale of live stock and
fresh meats. Swift & Co. Armour &
Co., Norris & Co. Wilson Company.
Inc. and the Cudahy Packing Com
many are named.
The evidence Of the present day ex-
stence of meat combination among
the FIVE big packers is voluminous and
detailed" the report says. This evil
dence is convincing. consisting as It
does largely of documents written by
the packers or their agents and in
Guiding the memoranda made by one
Of the participants in the combination
Of the terms and conditions agreed
upon al various meetings OF the pack
crs'
The principal conclusions to be
Drawn from this mass oC evidence, the
report says, are:
Il. That Swift & Co.. Armour & Co,
Norris & Co. Wilson Company, Inc.
md the Cudahy Packing Company are
in agreement for the division Of live
stool; purchases throughout the United
States according to certain fixed per-
1entages.
That this division is reinforced by
local agreements among the members
Of the general combination operating
1t each Of the principal markets as at
Denver. where Armour and Swift di-
vide their live stock 'fifty-fifty.'
That these purchase agreements
Constitute restraint OF interstate
commerce in live animals and in the
sale of meat and other products, sti-
fling competition among the five com
panies. substantially controlling the
prices paid to producers and prices
-harged to consumers, giving the
members of the combination unfair
nd Illegal advantages over actual and
potential competitors.
%. That the FIVE companies 'vchange
confidential information w is not
made available to their titors
and employ jointly paid age. , to Sc
cure information which is used to con-
troll and manipulate live stock mar
kets.
20. That the five companies act col
lusively in the purchase of live stock.
-. That Swift CO., Armour & Co.,
Morris & Co. and Wilson Company.
Inc. through their subsidiary and con-
trolled companies in South America
combined with certain other companies
10 restrict and control shipments Of
beef and other meats from South
America to the United States and other
countries.
IS. That the five companies act col
lusiveiy in the sale OF fresh meat.
IS. That there is a joint contribution
70 funds expended under their secret
control to influence public opinion and
governmental action and thus to main
tain the power OF their combination.
-. That the agreements, understand
inrs and pools are reinforced by the
community Of interest through joint
ownership OF various enterprises. Two
or more OF the interests thus have
joint ownership or representation in
ivS concerns as far as ascertained to
July, 1918"
In Il summary OF its conclusions the
commission finds;
That the big packers control the

tition as appears to exist ia limited

ding.
There exists therefore for each Of
the big packers a centralized buying
system 30 simply contrived ana organ
lied that II controls the smallest de-
tails Of live stock purchases at each of
tho markets and can be set In motion
and directed by single word. Only
a few men In each company'need know
that there Is an agreement or under
standing"
1T Is obvious" the report con-
tinues, that the live stock pool is not
only an automatic regulator OF the
business of each company, but also
secures substantial uniformity OF
prices. with each packer purchasing
only certain percentage on the
hoof each is bound to have relatively
the same proportion of meat for sale.
Thus the competitive chance that any
one OF the packers will flood the mar
ket Is eliminated"
The commission also declares there
" proof that "the big packers take
advantage OF live stock purchasers and
sellers" and adds:
1.-THE shipper who refuses to &C.
cept the price offered at the first mar
ket has q chance to sell his live stock
on it's merits to small packers, buyers
and traders, bit the chance is slight"
How Sales Are Regulated.
Regarding the alleged packers COM
bination regulating the sale of meat
products the report said:
s"By a regular inspection Of one an
others branch house stocks they are
enabled to prevent an oversupply of
fresh meat in any market. BY their eN-
change OF information as to the mar
gins on sales of meats at the different
markets they are able to keep their
average prices so uniform that prac-
tically every retail butcher examined
on this. point by the agents OF the
commission stated that for the same
kind and grade of meat there is no
perceptible difference in the prices.
The exceptions are where a rotation
in price cutting in practsed in order to
drive an independent out of the mar
ket"
The five concerns, it is charged, not
only make agreements with small
packers as to the prices to be charged
for meats but also drive out indie
pendent concerns by reducing prices
Regarding the packers agreement
affecting subsidiary lines the commits
sion reached the following conclusions:
That in the sale Of lard substitutes
there is an agreement t. charge fixed
prices.
THAT in purchase Of cheese there is
n division OF territory ard joint ma
nipulation of prices.
THAT in the purchase of butter,
cream, poultry and eggs there is
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 con-
duct of the business OF rendering there
are divisions OF territory, agreements
and various collusive and unfair prac-
tees"

So far as the army Is concerned, how
ever, Gen. March has said that more
than $4,000. 900, 900 was Topped of
of the original $4,000, 000, 900 war
budget for the year, bringing the new
total including Notifications, down to
less than $4,000, 100000.
The army estimates show that the
specific provision made is for the regu-
lar establishment only as at present
authorized and raised to It's maximum
war strength. This is the force con-
templated in the Regular Army reor-
ganization made in the national de-
fence act, which also Federalized the
National Guard. The plain indication
Of this method of presenting the esti-
mates, II Is said, is that an entirely
new military policy is to be proposed.
and for that reason no appropriations
for continuing the guard In Federal
service or otherwise experimenting
the Regular Army are now asked.
The most striking equipment appro-
priation of the army budget is for the
air service. Under aircraft produc.
ton a lump sum estimate OF approx
mately s145,000.000 is submitted. sup
plemented by an additional 100000
900 for the air service itself. Last
year the appropriations under these
two headings were respectively $780,
0Oo, 900 and s1s4.o00,0 900. Even with
the great cut made because of the end
OF hostilities, the total of $165,000,000

stress is to be laid hereafter on air.

Detailed items on the pay of the
army show that in the total of l.922,-
900, 900 asked for, exclusive Of the for
LITIGATION estimates, provision is made
for the payment of only 21,259 officers
and 1882 667 men of the line and ap-
proximately 10000 non-combatant
troops with the requisite staff officers.
The inclusion in the estimates, how
ever. of five items of pay with a 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
that supplemental estimates are to be
expected under these headings when
1t 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 is made for steady and rapid in
crease of the fleet. a total OF approx
mately $434 100000 being asked. OF
that sum s200,000.00o is the first in
