SWIFT REPLIES TO
ATTORNEY GENERAL

Chicago, August Especial )-Louis F.
Swift president of Swift & Co., referring
to the announcement of Attorney General
Palmer regarding the packers said:
II would welcome the opportunity to
plead our case before any impartial body
of men which has so far been denied us.
The public has been fed up on lot of
baseless accusations, and we have been
made the innocent victims of economic
conditions beyond anybody's control. The
increase in the cost OF meats has been
no greater than in most other lines, and
our profits have been reasonable.
IT know that this suit will prove what
we have contended all along, namely,
that there is absolutely no combination.
or monopoly and that the profit Of tho
packer is only a fraction of a cent a
pound, and therefore. has practically no
effect on prices paid for live stock. or
received from the sale of meats"
