Federal report urges rejection of stockyards monopoly plan
The Federal Trade Commission urged rejecting the Department of Justice plan by the big five packers to sell 15 stockyards to F H Prince & Co of Boston and form a holding company. The FTC warned the move would consolidate control, increasing packer influence and delaying divestment, with non defendant interests holding 17 percent of voting stock alongside 38 percent held by defendants. The plan would let the holding company reach up to 49 percent of stock, risking greater monopoly over live stock markets.
