ON ha, Neb., Nov 25.-While pack
ers are paying Nebraska stock raisers
some 81 less per 100 pounds for cattle
and nearly 81 less per 100 pounds for
hogs than a month ago. the consumer
gets no benefit. He pays the same
price for his beef and pork that he

gan. The difference between what the
farmer got then and what he gets now
is clear profit to the packer. The meat
trust gets even more profit, for wages
are being reduced.
Despite all this the packer has even
raised the price of meat to the re-
taller. Pork averages y cent pound
higher to the dealer than month

cuts, and the same price on others.
