Big Profit to Builders.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 3.-The Priestly
Construction Company had a cost
plus contract with the Associated
Packing Company to build the lat
ter's building. Alva Fry, craftsman
for the contractors, testified to this
before District Judge Edward Nc
Call at the hearing on the reorgani-
zation Of the packing company. At
torney General Havner attempted to
show that the commission was ex-
cessive. Fry testified that 10 per
cent was often charged by companies.
Several hundred blue prints with the
Associated Packing Company stan%
on them were exhibited in court
Havner alleged that many Of them
had nothing to do with the Associat-
ed Packing Company and that the
packing stamp had been placed on
blue prints which were made for
other buildings. Fry was unable to
identify all Of them as plans for the
packing plant.
J. w. Hibbs, Of Centerville, a third
witness for the state, testified that
he had purchased stock in four in
,stallments to the amount Of s1S,-
90. Eibbs testified that statesmen
promised to sell $4,000 worth Of
stock at profit to him. Hibbs
wants $4,000 in notes Cancelled and
his $4,000 returned. Stock statesmen
are alleged to have told Hibbs that
he could renew his notes as many
times as he wanted to if he did not
have the case to meet them.

The gene"al view of the reduction

next year when the new motor taxa
ton comes into force the American
car will be hit more than the Brit
ish and the reduction is designed to
meet this disadvantage.
At the present time British manu-
facturers are facing formidable com
petition from American, French and
Italian firms. France and italy have
both safeguardod their home markets
by q prohibition on imports, while
America has an import duty OF As
per cent and Is stated to have laid
down an export program of 100000
cars for 1920.
Another factor is the restriction on
output in Great Britain caused by
the forty four hour week and the
opposition to overtime. The output
of American workmen is almost
double that of the British workman
and as manufacturers are only just
finishing war contracts they are
likely to be severely hampered in
peace production and in the fortK-
coming competition which seems in
evitable.

FARMERS PROTEST YARD SALE
Call Holding Company Plan an Old
She'll Came


Washington, Sept. 8. The Farmers
National Council, with headquarters
in Washington protested yesterday
against the holding company propos-
al submitted by the Chicago packers
to the district Supreme court for dis
posing Of their stockyards and ter
minal railroad holdings.
Characterizing the plan to sell the
stockyard holdings to F. III. Prince &
Co. Of Boston as "the same old shell
game of the packers to hoodwink the
public" the council assails congress
for adjourning without enacting legis-
lation to control the packing industry
instead Of abandoning the public to
be "the victim of further horseplay
between the department Of justice, the
courts, and the big packers"
'F. H. Prince" the farmers state
ment says, "is the man chiefly respon-
sible for putting over the confidence
deal which included the bearer war
rant Federal Trade Commissioner
rant was, said: II think it was in
vented in England to beat the income
tax law"
"The American people will certain
ly be grateful to the packers for not
trying to prove an alibi this time. They
evidently hope that the decree COM
promise will serve as lullaby and
sooth the people into slumber.
"The Maine company, organized in
1911 by MIR. Prince and ]. o. Armour,

the plant, which was so effective, was
valued at s7,000,000.
II: was well known that the COM
panies owning the stocI1yards largely
cont rolled by the big packers have
beer charging exorbitant prices and
capi talizing their proHteering. The
pres states that the value Of the
paclsers interests in the stockyards is
variously estimated at from $30,00O,-
600 to $40.000,00.
"Iefore this deal was consummated
under which the packers can control
the stockyards, the gateway to the
packing plants at which the produc-
ers are held up. the court is to have
an rpen hearing.
II. is to be hoped that the public
can find out how much of the price
which this holding company pays and
on which the public will have to pay

stotkyards, and how much for the
plai! of this holding company, which
apparently originated in the fertile
brain Of the !rince who organized the

AUTO PRICES REDUCED.
But it is for American, Machines in

London, Sept. 3.-According to the
American Chamber of Commerce in
London, what may be the beginning
of a general drop in the price of mo-
tors is foreshadowed by the an
nouncement that Ford and Maibohm
cars are to be considerably reduced
in Great Britain. The reduction in
the case of the Maibohm will amount
to 91O0, and in the case Of Fords
will vary from S25 for ordinary
touring cars to ESQ for one-ton
standard trucks.
This move is taken by British
manufacturers to mean that real
competition has now commenced and
that supply is at last catching up
with the demand, altho in this con-
nection it is reported that one firm
has orders to the value of nearly
G12,O00,000 sterling to work off.
