The Grout bill. having passed the
national house Of representatives, is
now before the senate. The oleOmar-
garine interests are doing all in their
power to stay its further progress. The
big manufacturers OF oleomargarine
are the packers. mainly. and they are
bringing influences 10 bear In q round
about way to bolster up their own in
ferests Being big buyers OF cattle.
they have naturally turned to the sell
ers Of cattle for help, and are reason
ing with the cattlemen to the effect
that, as oleo is made partly from
steers fat, ii will never do to pass a
law preventing the stuff being sold for
butter, as then just so much less
steers fat will be used. One OF the
big packers last year maze a state
ment that II the Grout bill became a
Law 1t would cause a fall in the price
Of beeyes OF several dollars each. He
asserted that the use OF stearine in
the making OF oleomargarine increased
the value Of each steer several dollars.
The packer that made the statement
knew it to be false, for he is man
that has searched to the bottom Of
every matter Of that kind. but the
statement was expected to do good
work as it went the rounds Of the cat
tie raisers. Investigations have shown
that a very small amount Of stearine
goes into the making Of oleomargar-
Inc. and It amounts to only a very few
cents for each steer. It is not at all
probable that any cattle raiser ever
received one extra cent for a steer on
account Of the oleomargarine industry.
The wholesale buyer Of steers does not
draw the line so closely as that. and,
II he can make a few cents out OF an
animal By selling his fat as stearine,
that goes into the pocket Of the patker
as profits. The packers have the sit
uation too securely ta their own power
to have to consider = few cents profit
and turn It over to the beef raiser to
keep his friendship.
