Kansas City. Mo.-Hearings Of
charges brought by the Kansas City
Livestock exchange against Armour 4
Co. in connection with the operation
IT the MistletOe stOckyards here.
got under way Wednesday. The case
is the first brought under the federal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS control act of 1921.
Hearings are before Judge Il. NJ. Hahn
ar. commissioners Ut the federal de-
narlment " agriculture.
Hogs are bought by the Fowler
Packing company. at the Mistletoe
Yards here direct from the producers.
The Fowler company is owned by the
Armour Packing company. 1t is the
contention "f the plaintiffs that the
operation Of the Mistletoe yards tends
~ depres> the price of hogs on the
open mnrset at Kansas City. that the
prices paid 1T the MistletOe yard are
arbitrarily fixed and interfere with an
open and competitive market and con-
stitute an effort by the Armour com.
panv to control big prices paid here.
The Armour company in the opening
statement of counsel denied the charg-
es. asserted that the MistletOe yards
are private. not public stOckyards un.
der the 1921 federal law. and that the
real motive Of the Kansas City live.
stock exchange is to prevent any direct
buying Of livestock from producers
and force all producers to pay COM
missions to commission firms.
Testimony thus far taken dealt
largely with how much weight is gain
Ell by hogs receiving ''till' Of corn
and water as against the amount gain
Ell by hogs receiving only water. 1t
Is the contention Of the livestock en-
| change that the practice at the Mistle-
toe yards is to water and not feed the
hogs. and that the porducer loses the
benefit Of several pounds added weight
| thereby.
Judge Hainer announced before the
taking Of testimony began that the
questions mt issue are 'of vast public
