U SlllNGTON, ee. The fed

mental report submitted to congress
today, charged the five big meat
ackliig companies of the country
with a combination In restraint of
trade and with controlling the sale
of live stock anil fresh meats.
Kiidence is riled at length to sup
port the charges. Swift Co., Ar
mour A Co., Morris A Co, Wilson
company, Inc., and the Cudahy Pack
ing company aro named.
Collusion In buying, the report
said, is in operation at all principal
markets.
"The buyeia begin buying at the
same lime,'1 the report statesl. "If
one holds off the market all bold off.
So strong Is the Influence of blK
packers Ituylng thai the market Is
not 'made' until their buyers begin
bidding.
"There exists, therefore, for each of
the big packers, a centralized buy
ing system so simply contrived aud
organized that It controls the small
est details of live stock purchases at
each of the markets and can be set
In motion and directed by a single
word. Only a few men In each com
pany need know that there is an
agreement or understanding."
Check I'p Operations.
The report said "ths big five"
Jointly employ men at market to
gather market conditions and thus
check each other's operations. An
alyzing conditions at various markets,
the report said that at St. Joseph,

erate at yards controlled by Swift.
"At times," It was slated, "Swift
has difficulty In getting Armour and
Morris to support the market. Swift
ft Co. controlled at St. Paul but now
Armour has a share of ths live stock
receipts there."
At Omaha and Sioux City, tha re
port declared, the Cudahy and Ar
inoiir plants are the largest, and
Swift has recently acquired a small
Independent plant at Sioux city.
"At this market (Sioux City) the
arrangement Is for Cudahy to buy
Just as many hogs as Armour buys.' '
the report declared. 'The &0-.10 di
vision of hogs at Kloux City Is of
long standing," the report added,
quoting messages from K. A. Cudahy
to Manager M. R. Murphy.
"At Omaha," ths commission said,
"the division of hog purchases for
many years was on the following
arbitrary percentages:
"Armour 30, Cudahy 30, Swift IS,
Morris 15."
The commission said Wilson A
