Organization Minutes Produced.

After the committee had spent some
time in trying to get more specific an
swers, Senator Crawford turned to the
and be began asking questions based on
speech OF Gen. Ryan on Purposes of
Organizing at the initial meeting
He says here that every other business
is organized and works in unanimity,' =
declared Senator Crawford. Your pur-
pose IN organizing was to have unanimity
in your trade, was It not?"
There is no unanimity as to prices >
replied the witness.
He says that this is an age of concen-
tration and cooperation" continued Sem
ator Crawford. I'm another place he in
sists on q fair price for ALL Didn't he
mean to do away with this struggle be-
tween packers? Wasn't that the general
purpose OF the organization"
The witness replied in the negative
What steps was the association going
to take to bring about fair price to
ALP persisted Senator Crawford
THAT language was not impressed on
my mind and I have never given it a
thought" replied the witness. He denied
that this specific question had ever been
discussed by the association.
Not Clear to Witness.
Gen. Ryan also says that the labor
demands. while the packers have none.
What did he mean by that?"
II don't know. That has never been
discussed since the organization
He also complains that too much profit
mean by that?''
The witness said he was not clear as to
the thought of the speaker.
Taking this speech as to the pur-
pose, what is the fair inference as to the
object for which the organiza ton was
formed-simply for social purposes and to
discuss meat Inspections" asked Senator
Crawford.
4 am judging i6 objects by what has
been brought up in the association, re-
piled Mr.. Robe.
You say these subjects mentioned in
this opening address have never been dis
cussed In your association asked SEN
ator Lodge
The witness replied that they had not
Senator Smoot- who had been delving
mittee, here took up the examination of
the witness. He read abstracts showing
that in January, 1907, the committee
passed a resolution asking the state leg
islatures to suspend action on cold stor-
age matters until the national action was
decided upon.
From another part Of the minutes ne
read that the committee had appointed
special COInmlLlcc on the repeal OF
the anti-oleomargarfne law. The wit
ness said that question was now being
taken up.
Not Done to Affect Prices.
At another meeting Of the commit
tee Senator Smoot read that a proposal
had been made to close down all the
pork-packing plants during August
and September, but was not acted upon.
The witness explained that the reason
advanced for the closing of the plants
was that the grade OF pork obtainable
at that season was not good.
Was it suggested to affect prices?"
asked Senator Smoot.
Not at ALL" replied Mr.. Robe.
The committee adjourned at that
point to meet at o'clock this after
noon.

MEAT MAN IS HEARD
Packers President Reluctant
Food Committee Witness.
HIS MEMORY NOT GOOD
Fails to Recall Just Why Packers
Association Was Formed.
BUT NOT TO RAISE PRICES
Mr.. Robe Clear on That Point,
When Minutes Of Organization
Meeting Are Read.
BUT NOT TO RAISE PRICES

Charles Robe, president of the Ameri-
can Meat Packers Assocfation-which in
cludes in its membership about so per
cent of the meat packers of the country.
including the heads OF the Armour Swift,
Cudahy and other big concerns-was be-
fore the Senate committee on the cost of
living this morning. and George l.. Nc
Carthy, its secretary, will be put on the
stand this afternoon.
From the minutes of the meetings of
the association and of it's executive COM
mittee the Senate committee discovered
that the association had taken steps look
ing to the repeal of the oleomargarine
law, asking state legislatures not to pass
laws relating to cold storage, and ask
ing all legislative bodies not to pass fur
ther railroad legislation
From the minutes of the Opening adj
dress delivered at the formation of the
association it was found that Gen. Ryan
outlined the purposes of the organiza-
ton. In the course of that speech he re-
ferred to "unanimity of action fair
price TO ALL the lack Of union among
the packers similar to that existing
| among the packing house employees, and
too much profit going to the stock
yards.
Memory Defective.
Mr. Robe proved a reluctant witness.
His stock answer to many of the ques-
tons was II don't know or Il don't re-
call about that He did say, however,
that the association never discussed
prices. Until the members of the COM
nlittee got hold of the minutes of the
meetings he had told the committee of
only two or three matters which were
discussed by the association-governmen
meat inspection, refrigeration machinery
and methods Of handling product.
He was pressed to tell the committee of
the reason for the formation of the or
eanization. He replied that there were
similar organizations In nearly all trades,
but declared he knew Of no special rea-
son for the organization Of the meat
packers association. IT was organized
in 1906, and it's object, he said. was pro-
noting the interests Of the trade.
When asked as to how the interests
of the trade were to be protected he
replied that the association took up mat
ters that arose. Pressed as to what mat
tiers. he mentioned government meat in
spection.
I'm what way could the association
have influence on the enforcement or nom
enforcement of the law" Senator Clarke
asked him.

What matters?'
