As amended II read as followai
Whereas, the beef markets Of tho East |
have been depressed Tor the past two
years, Notwithstanding the fact that tho !
shipments OF range cattle have shown
very material falling of during this period
and,
Whereas, we believe that one OF the
chief contributing causes has been the
pooling OF the Gamers and dressed beef
shippers In thclr purchases, and
Whereas, this pooling has been accom-.
pliahed by unjust relative freight rates
between live cattle and dressed beef, thus
driving from the principal markets large
number Of competitive purchasers for
our range stock Therefore be II,
Resolved, | That we condemn any
system whereby the handling OF such an |
Important staple is concentrated IN SO
iow hands as being subyorsiye OF the In
forests of tho producer and consumer, Il
., We believe II TO he TO Tho interest of
the producer and consumer, las lost ring

In the Easteru markets, that the rates of
transportation on dressed beef and live
cGttlo should be- as two % one.
o. That We indorse Commissioner
Fiuk's action IN advancing tho rate on
dressed beef to the Eastern markets us
tending 90 reopen competition by plac.
ing buyers OF cattle for live shipment and
dressed beef shippers on Il more equal
footing,
