Packers Put Old
Plan for Squeezing
Farmers Into Effect
(ey The Federated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. = Because
traders on the Chicago livestock mar
ket have made serious and forceful
complaint of violations Of the packers
and stockyards' law by the big packers
in Chicago, a federal complaint has
been issued by Secretary OF Agricul
ture Wallace against Swift and Co.,
and Armour and Co., including the
North American Provision Co., charg.
ing them with refusing to buy hogs
from the traders at the stockyards.
The specific charge is that in Septem'
Der the Swift and Armour concerns
refused to take hogs from anyone ex-
cept the commission men receiving
them direct from the farmers. This
discrimination was typical Of the
packers methods of squeezing the
farmers before the Federal Trade
Commission investigated them in 1918.
