THE "COMBINE" LAID BABE

t How the Big Chicago Packers Seek to Hold a Monopoly on the Beef Trade. Asrament Eetween Armour, Swift, Morris and Others to Keep Down the Price of Cattle and Sustain That of Dressed 31 eats. CniCAGO, Sept 3. Philip Armour, Nelson Morris, G. F. Swift, Frank Vogel and John B. Sherman refused to appear before the Henate committee this morning. JIarvey tu Goodale, the publisher of the Drovers' Journal and Daily Sun at the stockyards, the only witness who had been summoned present, was placed on the stand. Mr. Goodale did not have the figures at his tongue's end, and submitted Ashley C. Hal-, liwel!, an employe, to the questioning of the Senators. Witness said that his estimate showed that the receipts of cattle at Chicago during the last eight months bad been 297,000 bead of cattle. Of these about 25,000 came from Texas. 11,000 from Montana, "Wyoming and the Northwest, and the remainder from the central States, Illinois being in the lead. He was unable to state any reason why the ' SSt, Louis trade uhould not be increasing, unless it be on account of the fact that tit. LmiiH has a reputation of being a little slower than Kansas City and Omaha in getting business. At Kansas City and Omaha the business had steadily increased, but at St. Louis the trade had barely held its own. Vfhis brought Senator Vest to his feet in an instant. Said he: "Did you ever hear of the 'eveners" combination?" The witness admitted that he had some twelve years ago. Senator Vest continued: "Well, did you not hear that a clique of Chicago shippers made a combination with 6orae of the railroads by which cheaper rates were obtained from Chicago, and that by this the St. Louis business was ruinedf " Tne witness had heard some talk of such things. The Senator pressed him harder, and brought in the names of Nelson Morris and Allerton,and some others, as having been parties to the "evencTs " combine. The examination over. . a recess until 2 o'clock was taken. Before adjourning, however. Senator Vest made a statement. He said that the committeo was here for tho purpose of learning all there is to be learned about the , matters in hand and proposed to do so. The dressedbeef and stockyards people had paid no attention to the summons of the committee, but they must come forward and testify. There was no way out of it. .Word was sent to them to that eftect. Charles E. Ingersoll was the first witness in the afternoon. He said when he tirst went into the dressed-beef business there was twice the quantity of dressed beef sold to Eastern buyers that there is now. Under the old system there was a great deal more competition. Ont of a 1,200 pound steer, witness believed about 675 pounds of good beef could be obtained. That class of beef would bring from 3 to 4 cents a pound. In the last ten years cattle were the highest in 1SSJ. They commenced going up in 18-S1, and reached high-watermark in June, 1882. A rapid decrease began in 1885. went lower in 18&6, and reached the lowest figure in 1887. In 1888 there was a slight improvement during the summer months, but that was only for the best grade of cattle. "Now," said Senator Vest, "it has been 6aid here that the enormous fall in the price of cattle in 1882 was by over-production, but I see that since 1SS2 there has been a very marked decrease in the supply, and still the price went down. How do you account for that!" "I hardly know how to account for it," replied the witness. After a few more questions the witness was allowed to go. Joseph Eastburne, a stockyards commission man, said he saw a very marked change in the marketof late years. Whilo the supply of stock increased, the number of buyers showed no proportionate increase. "How do you account for the fact that the number of buyers have not increased with the supplj- of material f" asked the chairman. . "J attribute it to tho dressed-beef men." Albert McCurdy, another stockyards commission man, said he, too, noticed considerable of a change in tho manner of doing business in his trade of late years. "Do I understand you to say," asked tho chairman, "that tho most of the cattle bought out there are bought by the dressedbeefmen!, "Yes." "Would it not be possible for these men to manipulate the markets!" "Yes, I think they have it in their power, but as far as my observation goes, they do not do so." Fred J. Rowland, a former chief bookkeeper and confidential man for Nelson Morris & Co., was the next -witness. "Can you state." asked the chairman. "whet her yon know of any agreement or combination between kelson Morris & Co., Armour &. Co., Swift & Co., and others!" "Am I obliged to answer that question!" "Yes, sir, you are." . "Well, they have made a combination among themselves." "A combination of what!" "A combination to sustain the price of dressed beef. They agreed on certain prices to pay for cattle in certain States, and there were certain other States excluded. That is, in those States they could pay any price they chose." "Tell me," said Senator Vest, "have you been spoken to by any one since you were 6iibpcDnaed to come here!" "Yes, sir; I was told by the Fairbank Canning Company that I need not coruo here at all; that it was not necessary." Mr. Rowland afterwards returned to the stand to suggest to the committee that his idea of the solution of the present difficulty was the organization of a cattle-raisers' syndicate, to ship cattle to Europe and kill them there. That's what I think," said Senator Vest, "but that is what they can't do. They have not tho money. If they had tho $100,000,000 the dressed-beef men have they might do It, but the producers have to get their money as soon as they cau." Finally a recess was taken until to-morrow morning, there being no other witnesses present. With nu impatient gesture Chairman Vest said: "Other witnesses have paid no attention to our subpoena. Of course I am helpless without action by -the committee. You gentlemen understand that we have power to is.sue a writ of attachment. It is impossible for the committee to submit to this treatment. n Resignation or General Manager JefTery. Chicago, Sept 3.-E. T. Jeffery is no longer general manager of the Illinois Central railroad. He has had a sharp disagreement with acting President Harriraan and peremptorily resigned, to take effect instanter. The spicy story of Mr. Jeffery 's sudden retirement is told in a letter made public by him this evening. Sir. Jeffery has been "over thirty years in the service of the Illinois Central, commencing as an oflice boy, becoming, step by t'etep. one of the foremost railway officials in the United States. C. A. Heck, second vice-president of the road, will temporarily succeed him. The split between Mr. Harriman and Mr. Jeffery nad for .'its occasion circumstances growing out of tho removal of the president's office to New York, some two years ago, at a time when other companies were moviug West, aud the fact that all but one of the directors are New Yorkers. Mr. Jeflery begins his narration by wa3of mentioning an amendment to the company's by-laws adopted by the directors in New York last April, forbidding any reduction in rates by any officer without tho prior approval of the President, who was to immediately report his action to tho board. Efforts of Mr. Jeffery, General Solicitor Ayer and President Fish to have this action rescinded are related, but the matter was shelved by the directors. In the latter part of June, when Predent Fish was in Chicago, and soon about to sail for Europe, Mr. Jeffery verbally tendered his resignation, unless authorized to ignore the by-laws and perform the same functions as before it was adopted. Mr. Fish, after a conference lasting nutil his train was starting tor NewYork, told Mr. Jeffery to contiuue as originally he had done. Mr. Jeilery subsequently wrote Mr. Fish at lencth, and received a brief reply putting the" agreement in black aud white. To the surprise of Mr. Jeffery, so his letter says, he yesterday received a verbal order from acting President Harriman to refer to him while he was in Chicago all applications for reduced rated. Mr Jeffery examined his arrange

ments with President Fish, and added that rather than surrender his duty he should re-

lire iroin tne company's service a noon. It was then 10 A. M. Mr. Harriman replied there was no other The resignation of the general manager was thereupon promptly tendered, and accepted with equal promptitude. Mr. Jeffery remained until 5 p. M. "to give," his letter explains, "a little more time to talk over matters pertaining to the company's interest." Personal, Local and General Nota. James McCrca, fourth vice-president of tho Penusvlvania Company, returned yes terday from hi annual vacation on St. .Lawrence river. W. W. liegeman, who, for so me years, has been with the Baldwin locomotive-works, has resigned to accept the superintendent of the Ohio Valley road. John Hammond, general .freight agent of the Erie road at Buffalo, N. Y., has resigned. It is said that Contracting freight Agent Poraeroy will be his successor. The Western roads last week delivered at Chicago 29,800 head of cattle and 337,000 hotrs. beine 98.000 more hoirs than were de livered in the corresponding week of 1S88. Sixteen years is considered the life of an iron rail while there are steel rails now in service which have been in the track twenty-three years and show but little wear. Harvest excursions on Sept. 10 and 24 and Oct. 8, at one fare for the round trip are announced by the Southern lines. These excursions are run after the same manner as the harvest excursions to the Northwest. The roads centering at Cincinnati are in trouble over the demurrage question. As at Indianapolis, agents are charged with extending the time for unloading or loading cars after they are placed in position. The Lake Erie fc Western has this year put in twenty-three miles additional of track at passing points and leading to manufactories located on its lines. It expects to put in several more miles before the year closes. J. N. McCullongh, first vice-president of the Pennsylvania Company; William K. McKeeu. president of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis, and M. E. Ingalls, president of the C., C, C. & St L will be in the city to-day. It is stated that the Cincinnati, Wabash &. Michigan will not readily submit to tho amendment of the contract by which its trains are run from Anderson to Indianapolis over the C, C, C. & St. L., and some exxenaea litigation may result. The Western lines delivered at Chicago, in the last week of August, 9t0SS car-loads of grain, the largest delivery in the history of the roads. The deliveries of grain for the month of August were 38,012 cars, against 21.7S5 in the corresponding month of 1888. Three of the South Bend businessmen are appraising the damages to property in that city, this week, on the proposed line through the city by which the St. Joe extension is to be connected with tho Vandalia. All parties agree that their award shall be final. The first six months of this year the New York Central carried into New York 20.64 per cent, of the grain tonnage; the Erie, 17.09 percent; Pennsylvania. 11.17; Lackawanna, 8.22; West Shore, 16.22; the Lehigh Valley. 5.55; Baltimore & Ohio, 1.07, and the other lines 1 per cent Within the next thirty days train No. 20, running between St. Louis and New York over the Vandalia and Pennsylvania lines, will bo entirely vestibuled, and a dining car will bo hauled in it And No. 1, coming West, will be vestibuled in the same manner, and its time shortened somewhat. George C. Smith has been appointed general agent of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Indianapolis road at Hamilton. The freight and passenger business will both be under his supervision. Mr. Smith was an Indianapolis boy. and has earned his promotion in a highly creditable manner. The present management of the Fort Wayne, Cincinnati & Louisville road take hold in a business-like manner. The passenger department has made arrangements to put on a full representation of tickets, adopting the Stromberg ticket. Heretofore the road has issued only local tickets, and has been seriously hampered in its workings with connections thereby. The Baltimore fc Ohio, after threo months' trial, has decided to burn coke on the ensines, which haul its passenger trains. Those running between Washington and Philadelphia have already been fitted up to burn coke. It is no more expensive, it is ascertained, than bituminous coal, and when used there is no trouble experienced by passengers on the trains from cinders or smoke. Commissioner Faithorn has returned from New York, having failed in his mission, which was to induce the trunk lines to prorate on through business. The Eastern view of the case is that the business methods of the Western roads are faulty, and that there is no reason why the Eastern roads should allow themselves to be drawn into an unpleasant contest in which they have no interest. 'The Louisville, New Albany fc Chicago people, it is stated officially, have asked the roads interested in the rate war between the cities of Chicago, Indianapolis. Louisville and Cincinnati to take such steps as will brine the war to a.close. The Pennsylvania holds aloof, anoysays when the Monon enters into an iron-clad agreement to maintain ratesjiereafter the Pennsylvania will notice their request The new trains put on by the Wagner Palace-car Company to run over the Big Four between Chicago and Cincinnati aro attracting a good deal of attention, and go loaded both ways nightly. The equipment is among the best ever turned out by this company. It such trains were put on botweeu St. Louis and Chicago over the Van., derbilt lines it would doubtless increase the travel over that route one-third. The Pennsylvania is said to be the only road which objects to pressing the movement to change back the classification on desks to that of furniture. If it is not done it will r ripple seriously one of the most important industries of Indianapolis. In speaking of changing the classification, which advanced the rates on desks 50 per cent., Henry Eraser, of the Big Four, said that when it was done he pronounced it an outrage, 'and had not changed his opinion on tho matter. The Pennsylvania Company has completed its time schedule for making the run between Chicago and. Louisville in eight hours, but has not' as yot fixed tho date when it will go into effect. Under the new time schedule, the run from Indianapolis to Louisville will Le made in two hours and .forty-five minutes. Two of the stops made by present express trains will bo taken out, which will make it easier to make the time. One of the express trains recently made tho run between the two points in two hours and thirty-three minutes. One of of tho brightest railroad officials in this city, last evening, in commenting ou the effects of the interstate law on railroads, said that it had been a grand thing for the trunk lines, really making them more independent in their actions toward their Western connections than before its taking effect, and their earnings had been larger than they would have been but for its passage on tho same amount of bnsiness. wmie wuii a maioniy oi me v estern roads it had made both local and through business competitive and brought about a general reduction in rates, which reduction the trunk lines were not willing to share iu. A prominent railroad official, in speaking of the petition of some ten thousand trainmen to the Interstate Commission, that some steps be taken to bring about the adoption of automatic brakes and self-car-couplers on the roads in this country, said tl-M trouble is not so much with tho railroad managers as it is to know what brake or coupler to adopt There are now over one thousand patent car-couplers, and the minute one road purchases the right to intraductt.it, letters pour in by the dozens from competitors, alleging that the coupler they have adopted is an infringement on the writer's patent, and if put into use ho will ask a royalty. Then the railroad manager becomes discouraged, and, not wishing to go into litigation over the matter, the patent purchased is thrown aside, and the brakemen and switchmen go on smashing fingers every day or two. Chicago Journal: One of the queerest rate wars in the history of railroading is that now going on in the passenger business between Chicago and Indianapolis. Louisville and Cincinuati. It has apparently developed into a mere contest of endurance, the Pennsylvania reducing rates and tho Monon and Kankakee simply meeting them. The Pennsylvania's reduction of yesterday makes the one-way rate between Chicago and Louisville or Cincinnati $4, and the round-trip rate $7. The Monon learned the rate would bo made, and issued its notice simultaneously. If the contest is

to be determined by the length of theresuective purses, it looks as though the Pennsvlvania would win. Against this advantage, however, the Monon shows an increase of $10,000 on passenger earnings for the first twenty-nine days of August The Pullman company is also hacking the Monon, owing to a recent falling out with the Pennsylvania. Altogether, the contest seems to be a nearly even but losing one.
