COMMISSIONER GARF.eLp'S RE-

It Is Fourd to BE Favorable TO the
Great Packers.
The report of Commissioner OF Cor
poraions Garfield on the beef indus
try, after about eight months inveSti-
CATION in Chicago and elsewhere,
shows that there has been an enormous
amount of eXaggeratiOn in the state
ments that have appeared for some
tline past in regard TO the beef hnsi-
ness. This investigation was set on
loot by resolution of the House OF
Representatives adopted March !. 1904,
ara the ascertained facts after most
rigid examination of the methods and
general conduct Of the business are
! contained in a report covering :OS
pages. Its figures and tables c0ueiu-
slVcly show that the popular BELIEF In
enormous profits made by the large
packers. such rs Armour K Co.. Swift
d Co. and Nelson Morris & Co.. and
In the exclusive control Of the huSi-
ness which many think they enjoy, is
really without foundation.
The report made to President Roosc-
Welt By Commissioner Garfield is real
ly the first official statement OF the ac-
tual conditions of the beef business
that has been made, ana as all the CON
illusions arrived at are based. as shown
by him. upon data officially obtained,
there seems to be no reason why they
should not be regarded as reliable and
In all respects trustworthy.
This report shows why the price Of
both cattle and beef advanced TO the
highest level ever known after the
short corn crop of 1901, ana states that
because of the decrease in number Of
cattle and also in decreased weight,
1.-THE high prices of beef which caused
so much complaint among conSumrrs
at this time were attributable wholly
to these abnormal cattle prices
All the figures of the live weight
and live cost of all dressed beef cattle
were obtained from actual killing rec
ords and all Information of every kind
obtained by the Commissioner WAS
voluntarily and freely offered Ivy the
packers, all books Of record ana papers
connected with the business having
placed at his disposal.
To make certain that the results OF
the investigation shoud be absolutely
accurate the Commissioner states that
a double method Of aScertliniug profit;
was adopted. ANA. without golug into.

sion arrived at shows an averag" profit
OF 30 cents per hcAG. The Commits
