Packing Company Head Sum-
moned to Meet Complaints
of Commission Men.
; the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-. March 81
With ]. Ogden Armour Of Chicago. presi-
dent OF Armour & Co.. sabpoenaed as a
witness. the federal Department OF Ag-
riculture's hearing Of complaints against
the packing company was scheduled to
open here today.
Charges OF monopolistic practices in
the conduct of the Mistletoe yards here,
tending to depress the price Of hogs and
interfere with open competitive trading
were brought against the armour com,
pany in January by ]. P. swift and
Frank Witherspoon, live stock commis-
sion men. acting for the Kansas CITY
Live Stock Exchange. Violation OF the
federal packer-stoek yards control act
Of 1921 Is charged. Under the provisions
of that act the hearing Is being held De-
fore a commissioner OF the department
of Agriculture, j. I. Hainer.
% Associations Join In Charge.
Thirty mine associations of live stock
producers and farmers, including the
Kansas State Live. Stock Association,
the Missouri Live Stock Association,
the Oklahoma Live Stock Association,
the National Live Stock Producers AS
sociation and the Farmers Union OF
Kansas, have Joined the local live
stock exchange in the charges against
the Armour company.
They assert that the Mistletoe
yards. privately owned by the Armour
company through the Fowler Pack
ing Company, q subsidiary of the Local
Armour plant, in purchasing hogs
privately, has given exclusive rights
to selected shippers who deal with
the Mistletoe yards, excluding all
other farmers, producers or farmers
cooperative associations.
The petition asserts that prices are
fixed arbitrarily at the Mistletoe
yards; that there are no competitive
bids, and that the system OF direct
shipments assures packers supplies
of hogs that enables them to manipu-
their normal level. thereby causing
heavy losses to all producers
Armour Company Denies.
The Armour company, in reply
to the charges, asserts its right to
operate private yards and has denied
that the intent or effect of such oper-
alton has been to depreSS prices. 1t
has been necessary to limit the num-
ber OF producers from whom hogs
were accepted, the packers contended,
in accordance with the needs of the
Armour plant here. The arrangement
was purely a voluntary one on the
part of shippers, the reply stated, and
cited the fact that such shippers were
satisfied as evidence OF the fairness
of the practice.
The motive back OF the charges is
the desire of the various exchanges to
collect commissions on direct sales
from farmers. in the view of the pack
ers. Shippers saved $4,000 in COM
missions during the last year. ac-
cording to the Armour statement.
Failure to "Fill Up Hog.
The producers statement set forth
that the loss caused to shippers by
alleged failure to "fiIl up hogs with
feed and water, practice in vogue
in the general stockyards here, and
not practiced at the Mistletoe yards,
caused a loss to the producer more
than twice as great as any saving on
commission fees. The Armour conten-
ton Is that hog prices at Mistletoe
yards ARE higher than at any COM
parable market"

The matter OF a legislative act FOR

the committee asked IL tho county
board could not do something to speed
up the legislation proposed: they were
told that the call Of the governor was

was being done along that line.
The committee had called on the

to better conditions, but that 1t was
impossible to use the method suggest

Howe, it would be legal to issue war

that public opinion would also sus-

LEGAL PYR0TECHNICS START IN
FOLEY ESTATE CONTROVERSY

Three new developments in the Foley
estate controversy became apparent
yesterday in the county court.
Judge N. Walter Dixon filed his APP
pearance as an attorney on the side OF
Mrs. Foley.
A motion for change of venue from
the county to the district court was
filed.
An affidavit in support of the motion
for change of venue was filed. and in
1t are several sensational allegations
which indicate that the real legal
lion dollar estate have but fairly be-
gun.
Motion for change Of venue signed
by Judge N. Walter Dixon was the
first public intimation that he had

ministrator, side of this great legal
battle is not legally represented by any
other counsel than Attorneys NJ q.

is in the usual form of such documents,
setting forth that in the petitioners
opinion the presiding judge is pre-

line beneath the signature states that

This affidavit is made by Todd C.
Storer, one of the attorneys i'll the case,
and sets forth that on January IS,
as such attorney, he presented to Judge
Frank G. Miricl of the county court a
petition of Lillian Foley for revoca-
ton of the letters OF administration
heretofore issued to Austin Gavin,
etc. That he presented and explained
said petition to said Judge and adds:
"Whereupon said judge stated to at
fiant In a vehement and excited man
ner that affiant might file the papers
IL he so desired, but that the order re-
Guested would not be issued. and fur
Their stated that Mrs. Foley. whom said
judge named and designed as Mrs.

and had refused to obey the orders of
the court whereby said Austin Gavin
was authorized and directed to conduct
and continue the lumber business Of

in open defiance OF the law and OF the
courts ORDER
Then affiant goes on at considera bic
