Synopsis
Swift & Company on the FTC report: a defense of competitive packing during wartime
This edition presents the company’s response to the Federal Trade Commission’s July 3, 1918 report on the meat packing industry. It argues that the large packers were not in conspiracy to restrain trade and that fierce competition remains the norm. The document discusses how live-stock purchase percentages are tracked, addresses the historical “beef pools,” and explains views on stockyards, stock cars, branch houses, and wartime distribution.
The material frames Swift & Company’s position during a period of war and regulation, offering a detailed account of its operations, economics, and rationale for resistance to monopoly claims. It emphasizes competition, efficiency, and the role of centralized packing units in delivering meat to armies and civilians.
- Explanations for why constant purchase percentages are not proof of collusion, but signs of rivalry.
- Discussion of stockyards, stock cars, refrigerator cars, and branch houses in the context of wartime logistics.
- Addressing past practices like beef pools and the division of foreign business, with a defense of these approaches.
- Reflection on government policy proposals related to the packing industry and their wartime implications.
Ideal for readers interested in wartime industry policy, corporate responses to regulation, and early 20th-century American business history.

Swift & Company vehemently denied these charges, arguing that they competed fiercely and provided essential services to the nation during the war effort. The book explores the evidence presented by both sides, revealing the complexities and controversies surrounding the case. Ultimately, it invites us to consider the role of government regulation in fostering fair competition while ensuring the availability of vital goods and services.
