SWORN TESTIMONY
; ' BACK OF ASSERTION
Brasenly Frank Acknowledgement of
Law-Breaking by the Railroads
Contracts Made, Even," In Direct
Violation of SUtute, ' ' : .
Armour received rebates long; before
the private car cam to great import
ance, ' says Ry Stannard Baker In th
January number of McClure's Magaslne.
At flrat, and until very recently; as I
showed in a former artlcl, Jt waa a
crude payment of cash. Let m rive a
single example. Th true published
rate on dressed beef (for export) from
Omaha to Chicago, for a long time was
23 H cents per hundred weigh .That is
what you and I would have to pay if we
shipped. But.. Armour paid only II H
cents, sometimes only It cents. He waa
given an advantage of from I to I
cents on every hundred pounds shipped
a perfectly monstrous amount This
is no hasty or unsubstantiated charge.
All the facta regarding these rebate are
set down, in sworn testimony given be
fore the interstate commerce commis
sion.' Beveral railroad official not only
admitted that they paid rebate, but
that they even signed contract to pay
them. Paul Morton, then vice-president
of th Santa F railroad, a frank wit
ness,' testified that he made a contract
dated June 10, 101, and he said with
a boldness little short of amaslng:
"Yea. sir. It i an illegal contract. It
was illegal when we made it, and we
knew that." . " ,
But the Banta Fa waa not alone In
giving rebate; many other road did
th came thing. C. J. Orammer, gen
eral traffic manager of the Lnk Shore
railroad, not only testified n paying re
bate, but' told In detail how the secret
accounts were settled. A. C Bird of
the Milwaukee railroad, Mitchell of the
Michigan Central and Ave other tfafflo
rnen admitted paying illegal rebate to
tha beef trust firms, paying them in
large amount and with regularity.
Could - anything be clearer than this
calm acknowledgment of lawbreaklngT
But. ao on ha aver been punished for
thl crime, neither the railroad which
gave the rebate nor Armour and hi
asaoclates In the beef trust who re
ceived them. And this extraordinary
disclosure did not even stop the law
breaking. Armour and bla associates
are aa much nourished - today, by law
less railroad discrimination as ever, aa
