OF business unless the packers opera
tions were restricted.
The witness said that the packers
sent their products in refrigerator cars
intended originally only for perishable
meat products; that the railroads gave
them passenger train service and made
deliveries in two days where the whole
salers required from five to ten. The
railroads, he added, refused to trans
port pershable goods of the whole
sellers except to limited number of
cities, while the packers refrigerator
cars were taken everywhere.
He suggested legislation to prevent
packers shipping anything except meats
in their refrigerator cars.
Livestock Prices Discussed
Effect on livestock prices Of pur-
chases by the five leading packers was
dealt with in cross examination Of
Louis F. Swift, by Francis J. Heney
to-day, before the Senate Agriculture
Committee considering regulations for
the meat industry.
Mr.. Heney read letters to show that
each of the big Five tried to main
tain a certain percentage of purchases
on the Omaha market.
This was a natural result of each
concern wishing to keep his own bus
mess away from his rivals" said Mr..
Swift.
"But you didn't go into the market
aggressively to buy any more proper
tionately than you had bought for
twenty or thirty years asked Mr..
Heney.
mo. l didn't have any object in
starting a fight there and running up
prices" said Mr.. Swift.
Whether the consumer could get
cheaper meat products from big or
small concerns was also discussed. Mr..
Swift said he made less on butterine
than an independent company handling
the product alone.
Questions relating to the bookkeep-
ing systems of the packers resulted in
n verbal passage between Mr.. Heney
sd Mr.. Veeder, Mr.. Swift's counsel,
and his assistant, John ]. Nicely, Sena-
he put cat il the proceeding was con-
tlrnod
Mr. Swift protested against republ-
cation of old reports on polls between
the big packers many years ago Mr..
Heney contended "there hasn't been
q DAY since 1885 that Armour, Swift
and Morris haven't been in combina-

Mr.. Swift testified his company was
interested in a company manufacture
inc humping posts for railroads.
Swift & Co. in the past have ac-
cepled rebates from railroads, haven't
'hey?" asked Mr.. Heney.
Mr.. Swift said they had done so at
q time when it was legal.
Mr.. Swift denied he was actively in

WASHINGTON, Jan. S1.-Names o.

Leading packers were based by the Fed
eral Trade Commission will be sub
mitted voluntarily by the commission
to the House Interstate Commerce
Committee, together with all other
testimony and evidence gathered dur
ing investigation of the meat industry
William 3. Colver, chairman of the
Trade Commission, so informed the
committee to-day, as result Of de-
mands made by committee members
yesterday that all names of witnesses
be divulged so that the committee
would "have basis for further ques-
tioning of the packers"
Mr.. Colver wrote to the committee
as follows:
In view of the discussion in the
committee on January 80 the COM
mission begs leave to make the fol-
lowing suggestions:
No resolution is necessary requir-
ing the Federal Trade Commission
to produce documents, furnish names
of witnesses or otherwise lay before
the committee every bit of informa-
ton and evidence which it has Sc
cured during the investigation of the
meat packing industry.
Transcript a Public Document
A transcript the testimony taken
at the public hearings was sent to
the joint committee on printing near
ly year ago for the purpose of it's
publication in a public document.
Fhe public hearings are only
small part of the evidence. There is
alse very great amount of docu-
meptary evidence, reports of investi-
gators, transcripts of testimony and
COURT records, as we'll as schedules
required of the packing concerns by
the commission. All of this is at the
disposal of the committee for publ
cation in its record and has been at
all times.
1T may require q little time to
recall and copy such original docu-
ments as have been transmitted by
the Federal Trade Commission 20 the
Department of Justice. but if the
committee desires this will be done
with all expedition, sub ject of course
to the opinion of the Department of
Justice IS to q disclosure of certain
matters being in the public interest
Nnen the committee is ready for
the commission again to appear be-
fore it much light will be thrown up
on the record as built up before the
committee during the last ten days.
