badly and that its expert and expert

son for wanting change Of owner
ship. Baruch informed his interview
ers that j. ogden Armour at first re-
fused to consider such thing as the
sale Of the great and profitable Ar
mour Grain Company, and that only
when he was made to realize that this
act of public service would be "fit-
ting monument to his father" he con-
scented. The father, by the way, was
grain speculator like his son; but
the old man is dead now and to a
dead man, one style Of monument is
presumably as good as another.
Here are some pertinent facts. Less
than year and half ago, j. Ogden
Armour, suddenly and mysteriously
delinquished the direction of Armour
& Company (the meat packing bust
ness), permitting it to fall into hands
of his bankers. Since that time he
has allowed himself to be persuaded
to put UP his $5,O0O,000 Lake Forest
estate for sale; he has disposed of
virtually his entire holdings of Chi
cago bank stocks, which were the
largest in the city; he has sold his
Gold Coast property at Wellington
and Sheridan Road where the Ar
mours had planned to build their
city residence; he has let go of the
tract originally purchased as camp
us site for Armour Institute Of Tech
nology.
Providence Drums Up Trade
Is there not something almost pro-
vidential-to speak in religious terms
about the innocent suggestions of
the disinterested Bernard M. Baruch,
coming precisely at time when Ar
mour was casting about anxiously in
repeated attempts to sell everything
in sight whoever would buy?
1t must be plain to the reader that
the whole elaborate plan for the al
deviation of the wheat growers is a
cooked-up scheme. Baruch is the
come on" man and the farmers are
expected to be the goats" The GEN.
trail idea is to unload on the farmers.
The affair is not made any less dis
gusting by the fact that Armour, after
all, is only puppet. The real prin-
cipals in the proposition are the bank
ers of the Chase National Bank group
who months ago forced ]. Ogden Ar
mour out of Armour & Company and
are now about to force him out of the
Armour Grain Company. Armour's
personal finances are in critical shape.
Already heavily in debt, he has lost
recently about $2O,OOO,OOO more in
grain speculations, since which time
