TRALIAN PACKERS

sUMERS PAY FOR ITS WAR on AUS
TRALIAN PACKERS.
In the September issue Of "Cold Storage" is an
price OF meat Briefly told. the reason the Beef
Trust has advanced the price Of meat. according
to "Cold Storage IS that the trust has been los
ing money in fight with Australian packers be-
cause they refused to enter 4 pool. 1t is making
home consumers pay for it,
Continuing, the article reads as follows:
The truth Of the matter is simply this. according
10 an absolutely Trustworthy authority. About
four years ago. when Australian fresh meat began
TO reacn the English market in large quantities
~ a reduced price TO compete with American beef
They proposed an arrangement to our meat
porters by which the price could be maintained
Several temporary agreements were made. only 10
packers Meantime the price Of Australian
frozen beef advanced steadily. and about five
months ago the American Beef Trust, alarmed NJ
the heavy Increase in shipments from Australia
attempted to get the Australian packers to enter
pool 70 control the English market.
When the nrst agreement was proposed, four
years ago the American packers practically con-
trOllcd that market. The agreement of few
months ago was proposed because the Beef Trust
that the market slipping from IT'S control.
The trust considered il good time. also. because
two successive dry seasons I'm Australia had ere
ated shortage Of cattle there. But the Austria
lians refused TO enter a pool. Then the trust
Threatened to drop he price OF meat. and the Aus
tralians said. Drop it and be hanged! or words
TO that effect.
And the trust did drop the price Of meat after
meeting Of the members at which IL was agreed
to lose 100000 month to fight the Australians
i'm the English market. So the trust Is selling
