For more than two hours Thomas
w. Wilson, vice-president and general
manager OF the company; C. l.. 5. Ting
ley. vice-president Of the American
Railways Company, and several electri-
cal experts were heard on behalf Of the
company last night. Their testimony
largely dealt with the finances Of the
company for a number OF years, end
ing TO show that the constant increase
in the price Of materials Of every de-
scription entering into the operation OF
the street railways and OF wages, had
brought the finances Of the company TO
such a state that an increase in fares

HERCULESANDATLAS
COS. MAY LEAVE CITY
du Pont Company Needs
All Available Space in
Office Building
NOTHING DEFINITE
DECIDED. HOWEVER

As soon as they can get suitable Of
fees elsewhere the Hercules Powder
Company and the Atlas Powder Com
pany in all probability will vacate the
Offices they now occupy in the dupont
Building.
Neither company has made definite ar
rangemenis for moving, and probably
will not before next spring, but it IS now
regarded as extremely likely that they
will move. Il may be that they will
leave Wilmington If suitable arrange
ments cannot be made for ONCE space
in this city, where offices such as the
companies require are now scarce.
It was learned today that the du-
Pont Company is in need Of all the OF
flee room available in the dupont
Building. excepting a few Offices leased
TO professional men, and has so inform
ed the Hercules and Atlas Companies
at the same time suggesting that they
secure quarters elsewhere II suitable
arrangements can be made.
No notice has been served upon the
two companies TO vacate, however. and
it is hardly likely that any will be
given. but it Is expected both companies
will look about for new quarters.
II has been reported for some time
that The Hercules Company might move
its Offices to The Equitable Building in
New York, but nothing definite insthat
respect has been decided upon. General
T. Coleman dupont, principal stock
holder Of The Equitable Building Cor
poration. also is said 60 be the princi-
pal slockholder OF the Hercules Com
panN.
Should The Offices Of the two compa-
nies be moved to New York or some
other city it would mean that hundreds
OF persons connected with those two
companies would have TO move or give
up their positions.

SMALL PACKERS OPPOSE LICENSE

Cincinnati meat packers in drawing
resolutions against the licensing of
all packers doing interstate business,
brought attention to the fact that the
proposed legislation embodied In the
Kenyon and Kendrick bills if enacted,
would have tendency to drive hum
dreds of small packing firms out of the
field of interstate operations. This
would be the preference forced upon
them as against operating under a Ii
censing system which would be a con-
tinued menace of interference.

what he is worth as a beef animal. Nc
one can determine his value but the
men in the pens,-the commission mer
| and the buyers.
Buyers Represent Many Firms
Many think that these cattle are all
purchased by the big packers, which
is far from being the case. Besides
the buyers for the big packers there
are always in the Chicago yards from
hundred to hundred and fifty other
buyers on the scene, many of them
representing firms that are not located
near the stock yards or even in the
same city. All told, the large pack
ers do only A per cent of the meat
animal slaughtering of the entire COM
try.
The penalty which awaits the buyer
who will not bid up to true values is
that the other buyers take the cattle
away from him and his firm will be
without its requirements. On the 9TH
e. hand the commission men cannot
stick it out for an exorbitant price !;
for the buyers would cut down on the
amounts of their purchases. There
are some people who will buy meat
az any price, but the majority of peo-
pie reduce their meat purchases pre-
cisely as the prices mount upward.
The buyers in the stock yards reflect
this attitude of the general public al
most as accurately as thermometer
indicates the temperature.
The Arena of Supply and Demand.
In other words, the stock yards are
the meeting places of two tremendous
powers Of the economic world-Sup-
ply and Demand. Any one who Wis
its one Of these places, even as the
most casual observer and watches
what occurs there, will give up any
illusion he may have about monopoly
or control. Too many buyers and sell
ers are involved, and judging the
value of an individual steer or pen
full! of steers is altogether too compli-
Gated matter to cover by any sort
Of agreement in advance.
The Kenyon bill would make it lille
gal for any packers to have financial
holdings in stock yards corporations.
Common sense rightly asks, "Why?"
How such holdings, which, where they
axist, are nothing more than financial
packing of a worthy enterprise, can
control the men in the pens who are
hired to use their Judgment is too |
icep to be seen at a glance. The adj |
yocates of the bill should be forced to |
explain. And how a lack of such hold |
ngs would prevent control or monop-
'ly, if such things were possible, is an
'ther thing which the proponents Of
he bill should be able to elucidate.
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1919-10-17

Are the great stock yards of Chi
cago, Kansas City, Omaha and else
where hotbeds Of monopolistic control
which succeeds in mulcting the farm
er on the one hand, and the consumer
who buys meat, on the other hand?
This will be one of the questions
threshing over in the discussion of the
Kenyon bill now before committee Of
the Senate.
If these big markets, where millions
upon millions of dollars change hands,
have any sort of strangle-hOld on
our food resources, few there would
be who would not say, rout them. Yet
equally few, perhaps, could give you
any sort of a vivid word-picture of
what takes place In these markets
through which flows much OF our farm
wealth.
Separate From Packing Plants.
in the minds of many people with all
packingdom. This is error number
one. They are operated as corpora
lions wholly distinct from the packing
plant companies that cluster around
them.
The stock yards perform two func-
lions: they are unloading, feeding
and resting stations for live stock; and
markets for buying and selling. AS
buying and selling places, they are
among the most interesting spots in
the workplaces where one may see
a nation at it's bartering. Huge auc-
ton stations where a fraction of a
point counts, and counts big.
The Chicago stock yards, as the
most notable example, will receive in
day anywhere from 10000 to 10000
cattle, not to mention hogs and sheep.
These would represent shipments by
many farmers. Each farmer puts his
cattle into the hands of commission
firm who acts as his agent The "stock
in trade" of the commission firm is
satisfied clientele among the farmers
the better bargainers they are for a
Icing price the more the farmer is dis
posed to patronize them.
A Game for Experts.
1t Is titanic game, and one for ex-
perts. On the one side are arrayed |
the commission men, and on the other |
the buyers representing packing con-
Germs, brokers and others. Both sides t
know their business, which is to say
that they know full well what the re- /
ceipts of the day are and their rela-
ton to the requirements, and they
know cattle.
The big auction begins. Not from
a block, but an auction for all that.
Buyers, mounted on ponies, scurry
hither and thither, making a bid on
enc lot here and on another lot there.
The commission man will hold the bid
in allegiance, dickering for few points
higher price and awaiting the arrival
of another man on pony who may
make him a better offer Every COM
mission man is a competitor of all the
other commission men and every buy
ar is competitor of all the other buy
ars.
We say that all Of these men know
