how the workers there lived. Then
counsel for the workers urged the
Judge to inspect the homes Of the
heads Of Armour & Co., Swift & Co.

lived.
Attorney Condor, for the packers.

representatives to show that twenty
six houses were rented at IS to $14.50

year.

living since December, 1914, and.

and light charges were slightly less
for June, than last December. the
items showed increases for that six
month period.

sire to sell direct to consumers at
reasonable prices.
