TO "BUST" TRUST Stockmen Organize Independent Packing Company to Go After Combine. Important Meeting at Kansas City At tended by Representatives of Western Grass Country. * " — • New Company Incorporated Under Laws of Arizona, With Capita Stock of $5,000,000. . > Kansas City. Mo., Sept. 2. —Twentyfive stockmen from different parts of the Western grass country met in the Midland hotel in this city and arranged to perfect the organization of a packing company to compete with the alleged packers’ trust. The new company was named the Independent Packing company. Articles of incorporation wt re drawn today and will be signed at a meeting to be held late this afternoon. The company will have a capital stock ot' $5,000,000 and will be incorporated under the laws of Arizona. Os the total capitalization. 51 per cent will be so disposed of as to be held in escrow by the board of directors of the company. This will insure stockmen who interest themselves in the plan that the company will always be controlled by stock interests. The rest of the stock will be sold to stockmen If possible, although no purchaser will be barred. The division of the stock as decided upon was made to prevent any posst bility ot the alleged packers' trust gaining control of the new independent company. Two million of the stock will be issued at first, the rest will be put out later. Formerly It was part of the plan to include the United States Packing company of Pueblo, Col., in the scheme. Now It is predicted on good authority that the Pu t eblo plant will never be built, but that I its capitalization of more than a mil , lion and a half will be offered to the Independent Packing company or will be allowed to revert bacly to the stockmen who subscribed it. Charles F. Martin, secretary of the National Livestock association, who was one of the promoters of the United States Packing company and a stockholder, is in Kansas City promoting the organization of the Independent Packing company. The Independent Packing company will hufld one Plant in tba Mlauonrl
