Control of meat prices by Armour Swift Morris Big Three
A historical critique describes Armour & Co Swift & Co and Nelson Morris & Co as a meat price combine. It claims their capital exceeds 75 million dollars, controls 1100 to 1200 markets, and operates 2000 refrigerator cars. The piece details bankrolled markets, shared cattle receipts, and alleged market division to suppress competition amid a broad livestock, meat packing, and international contracting network. It contrasts their tactics with independent producers and hints at waning antitrust efficacy.
