Beperidge Meat Bill
Fought by Crunlpacker
Declares the Expense of Inspection Devolving
on Packers Would Crush Small, Indepen- Z
dent Concerns and Benefit the Trust

Judse Crumpacker. of Indiana, today
met the hsinuation that his bill 10 pro-
vide for Federal inspection Of meat Of

merce is ''the packers bqf' by the
statement that. IL the fees proposed TO

eridge bill. adopted by the Senate. were
eliminated or modified the Beveridge
measure would not meet with the un-
qSalihed approval OF the packers.
My reason for this statement" said
Judge Crumpacker. "is that the Bever-
idge bill would act so TO drive out Of
business all the small independent pack
ers and would result in putting the beef
trade entirely and irrevocably in the
hands OF the Beef trust for all time.
Small Dealers at Disadvantage.
ut stands 70 reason that the small
sellers OF beef and other meats through
out the country could not afford 10 pa
the fees for inspection charged in the

be that they would have 10 close up their
places q business. and hand over thor
trust.
''As for the insinuation. which has
appeared IN some Of the public prints. 1
am told, that my bill is a bill framed
IN the interests Of the packers: II 6
