BIG FIVE Menace GROWING
PROBE SHOWS UP PACKERS
ALL COMPETITION KILLED


Washington. July 2s-Ability OF
the Big Five" packers-Swift. Ar
mour. Morris. Cudahy and wilson
to determine from day to day the
general level of livestock prices was
declared incontrovertible in the third
section Of the Federal Trade Conn
missions report on the industry
made public today.
Information obtained in the COM
missions investigation was cited to
show that the Big Five have an
interest in 2S Of the 50 principal mar
ket yards of the country and a ma
jority Of voting stock in % others.
Ii was said that they buy most Of
the livestock sold at these markets.
They discriminate against and
put at great disadvantage independ-
ent buyers, who are competitors -
the report said. They manipulate
on occasions the livestock market in
such a way as to cause extreme and
unwarranted fluctuations in the daily
prices paid for livestock. They have
eliminated many competitors and
prevented new ones from coming in.
They have restricted the meat supply
of the nation by manipulating the
daily livestock prices and thus dis
couraging the producers Of live
stock
Notwithstanding special advantag-
es said to be enjoyed by the five big
packers. the commission declared
that il was not demonstrable that
they are more efficient "independ-
ents."
In tracing tie ownership Of the
various stock yards. the commits
sion in its report devoted much at
tention TO the ''remarka Bile financial
device known as the bearer war
rant. which it was said was equally
effective in making possible the eva
sion of income. corporation and sur
taxes if II came into more general
use.
such warrant is receipt for
stock certificates. the latter being
made out to the treasurer of the
corporation. who delivers the war
rant TO TIE person who actually Owns
the stock. In this way it would be
possible for a stockholder to receive
dividends anu vote without his ident-
ity being known. J. Ogden Armour
was said by the commission to own
1874 percent of the Chicago stock
yards company. but the use of bear
er warrants was asserted to have
prevented the commission from dis
covering who owned the other stock.
