Methods And Prices In Packing Conspiracy Trial
In Chicago on January 16, federal prosecutors showed identical methods and inflated costs used by Armour & Co and Mortis & Co two of the nation's large packing firms. The government tied these figures to wholesale price fixing and alleged a single industry-wide conspiracy under Judge Carpenter. Evidence from Morris books mirrored that found in Armour & Co records, prompting the government to plan to bring all company books to court, including National Packing. After examination, officials argued uniform arbitrary figures imply a general understanding among defendants.
