Five Big Packers Accused of Antitrust Violations
Formal complaints were issued by the Federal Trade Commission charging five major Chicago meat packers with violating the Clayton act through control of 31 food and supply companies. The action targets alleged absorption of meat packers, fruit canners, dealers in oils and poultry, butter and cheese makers, and leather tanners, with related entities like United Tagess Beet Company, Western Meat Company of San Francisco, and Nevada Packing Company named in the probes. The suit asserts that Cudahy Packing organized Dow Cheese, gaining control of over 200 Wisconsin cheese factories and neighboring states, and cites interlocking directorates under the Clayton law.
