James Hazlett May, 1987 PREFACE This dissertation is a business history of the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange, and a study of regulation in the American West. Historians generally understand the economic growth of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the business institutions created during that era, within the perspective of "progressive" history. According to that view, Americans shifted from a public policy of laissez faire economics to one of state regulation around the turn of the century. More recently, historians have questioned the nature of regulation in American society, and this study extends that discussion into the livestock industry of the American West. 1 This dissertation relied heavily upon the minutes of the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange. Other sources were also important, especially the minutes of the Chicago Live Stock Exchange, which made possible a comparison of the two exchanges. Critical to understanding the role of the Exchange but unavailable in Kansas City, financial data was 1Morton Keller, "The Pluralist State: American Economic Regulation in Comparative Perspective, 1900-1930," in Thomas K.

  • Reshaping the U.S. Cattle Industry: Producers and Packers, 1914–1933
    Reshaping the U.S. cattle industry: Producers and packers, 1914–1933 by Daniel T. Gresham B.A., Colorado State University, 2006 M.A., Kansas State University, 2014 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2019 Abstract In 1914 the stockmen of the American West launched what they referred to as the “war on the packers.” Desiring more than rhetoric, stockmen donated their own money to finance a producer-led investigation of the big meat packer’s economic power. That investigation ultimately led to a Federal Trade Commission bombshell report that indicted the packers for attempting to control the global food supply, served them a crippling consent decree, and ended with the Packers and Stockyards Act in 1921. Perennial conflict is historians’ standard narrative of the relationship between producers and packers. However, from 1922 to 1933, producers such as John Kendrick, Dan Casement, and O. M. Plummer, cooperated with Thomas E. Wilson and other big packers along associational lines and looked to packers for industry leadership. Although contemporary producers and packers applauded their newfound cooperative attitudes, producers never fully trusted the packers, making this a tenuous cooperation. The political philosophy of associationalism helped legitimize big packer leadership of the industry. Producers’ acceptance of packer leadership is evident in their shared effort to reform the practices of meat retailers, how producers generally supported packer policies, and how they worked through the Federal Farm Board to eliminate middlemen. The packers also created a campaign for increased consumer consumption of meat and cast vegetarians as their common enemy as a way of unifying the livestock industry.

  • The Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921
    University of Arkansas ∙ System Division of Agriculture [email protected] ∙ (479) 575-7646 An Agricultural Law Research Article The Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921 by Thomas J. Flavin Originally published in GEORGE WASHINGTON LAW REVIEW 26 GEO. WASH. L. REV. 161 (1958) www.NationalAgLawCenter.org THE PACKERS AND STOCKYARDS ACT, 1921 Thomas ]. Flavin· I. INTRODUCTION Current legislative proposals to transfer the regulation of the trade practices of meatpackers in whole or in part from the Secretary of Agriculture to the Federal Trade Commission have brought the Packers and Stockyards Act1 to renewed public attention.2 The act constitutes one of the early major entries of the Federal Government into the regulation of private industry and is antedated in this respect only by the establishment of the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1887 and of the Federal Trade Commission in 1914. For years prior to the enactment of the act in 1921, the largest meat­ packing companies had been charged with conspiring to control the purchases of livestock, the preparation of meat and meat products and the distribution thereof in this country and abroad. In 1917 President Wilson directed the Federal Trade Commission to investi­ gate the facts relating to the meatpacking industry and the Commis­ sion issued a report in July 1918 which concluded that the "Big Five" (Swift, Armour, Cudahy, \\Tilson and Morris) controlled the market in which they bought their supplies and the market in which they sold their products and were reaching for mastery of the trade in meat substitutes such as cheese, eggs, etc., as well. The report pointed out that the monopolistic position of the "Big Five" was based primarily upon their ownership or control of stockyards and essential facilities for the distribution of perishable foods and that control of stockyards carried with it domin:mce over commission finns, dealers, cattle-loan banks, trade publications, etc.3 *Judicial Officer, United States Department of Agriculture.

This survey confirms and supports their findings, noting that despite deterioration, the Union Stock Yard site retains enough character- defining features to convey a sense of its historical significance as an industrial agriculture operation under all seven measures of integrity. Balle recorded on his 1992 Historic Site Form that the property was significant for its association with four historic themes: agriculture, architecture, commerce and industry. In her 2014 Cultural Resource Assessment, Ellis, using regulatory standard evaluation methods (36 CFR 60.4, NPS Bulletin 15), recommended that the site be determined eligible for its association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history, citing the following justification. During its heyday, the Union Stock Yard was a key fixture in (the) largest livestock market west of Denver. The activities at the yard brought Ogden national attention as a livestock center.
