1--WE had no idea there was going to
be such an advance when we separ-
ated our three concerns" said Mr..
Swift. Swift and company didn't
profit by the transaction. but the 25.-
'O0U stockhofders did"
but while you saw Swift and COM
pany's earnings showed q falling OF
last year." replied Senator Norris, "as
a matter Of fact the three Swift COM
panies showed an. enormous increase
in the opinion of stock buyers"
Mr.. Swift said he personally had
not dealt in Swift stocks to. affect
the market.
Have you ever bought any?" asked
Mr.. Heney.
when Swift and company shares
were selling at 80 I wanted to buy
some but didn't have the money"
said the packer.
Mr.. Heney's questions developed
that an employe of Swift and COM
pany engaged in buying and selling
Swift shares for employees who paid
for them on an installment plan.
do any officials or employees bVy
stock to run prices up or DOWN." Mr..
Heney asked.
''They might buy some when the
market was low" said Mr.. Swift.
Don't you recommend to employees
to buy stock?" continued Mr.. Heney.
when the price is favorable, es-
pecially when we issue new stock"
This line of questioning resulted in
an exchange between Mr.. Heney and
Senator Page of Vermont.
''Is it legitimate for officials of the
company to run stock up or down $50
year," Mr.. Heney asked.
That's matter don't care about"
interjected Senator Page.
"You ought to care about it as
member of this committee" said Mr..
Heney..
Mr.. Swift testified that his family
had owned only about 35 per cent Of
the company's stock for the last 20
years. =.
L. M. Chaplin, auditor of Swift and
company, was asked about an exam
ination Of the company's books made
by the food administration before
rules were made regulating the pack
ers' profits. He said e. Dana Durand,
representing the administration, spent
two or three hours personally on the
books. but spent several days obtain
ing Information from employees. It
was explained that more than 200 ac-
countants and several hundred clerks
were employed on accounts.
"Then it was physically impossible
for Mr.. Durand to make any kind Of
investigation himself. wasn't it,"
asked Mr.. Heney.
''By himself, yes" was the reply.

HEARINGS OF
PACKERS TODAY
Speculations in Swift Stock
Inquired Into by Senate
Committee.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Testimony Of
the five leading packers at the hear
.ings of the house interstate commerce
committee on legislation to regulate
the meat industry. was concluded to-
day. A statement by Edward A.
Cudahy of Cudahy and company was
read by his attorney. Thomas Creigh,
and T.. E.. Wilson of Wilson and COM
pany read a prepared statement and
was questioned by committee men,
bers.
Both presidents declared that legis-
lation aimed at the meat industry was
unnecessary and that government
regulation or ownership was not war
ranted or practicable.
"As a business man do not believe
in government ownership" said Mr..
Cudahy's statement. "Nor do think
it would be success or as efficient
with respect to the packing industry
or of as great benefit to the public as
the present system. which has grown
up as the result of individual initi-
ative and experience"

road strike. Mr.. Plumb AYERS 'na'
this is not threat of coming VIZ
lepce. nor is 1t in so many words But
il carries vast potentialities in us
train of which a resort to violence Is
assuredly not the least readily lor'
seen.
But in estimating the strength Vi
weakness of the position taken by MI
Plumb on behalf of the Brotherhoods'
we must not lose sight of the fact that
his plan involves much more than an
attempted solution of the pressing
railroad problem that was already uh-
der consideration. 1t involves little
short of a complete social and eco
nomic revolution and if the PUMP
bill is vertically to be backed by the
threat of a general railroad strike
Mr. Plumb seems to have pounded the
table with an unnecessary emphasis
that does not carry entire conviction
when he asserted that his clients had
no intention of enforcing their de-
mands bv violence.

The Packers-commonly referred
to as the big 5"-are now flooding
the mails with press agent stuff ad-
dressed to the newspapers of the
country, in which they put up very
plausible sounding arguments to
show that they are operating on a
small margin of profit and that the
retailers are the ones who are respon-
sible for the skyward tendency of
food prices. Their statements would
sound more plausible II it were not
for the evidence at hand showing that
they not only control the meat supply
of the country; but that they are now
reaching out and practically control
the supply of poultry. eggs and canned
fruits and vegetables. Monopoly never
has and never will result in lowered
prices.
