A RATE INCREASE
MEANS HIGH MEAT
A Texas Cattle Grower Explains
Why
ASSIST PACKERS TO CONTROL
1t Would Increase the Cost to Con
sumers and at the Same Time
Decrease Amount Paid
Producers.
ASSIST PACKERS TO CONTROL

Washington, Dec. 2.-An emphatic
warning of higher prices on meal
products was given at the hearing be
fore the Interstate Commerce commits
sion IL the proposed freight rates in
crease goes into effect, as now
planned by the railroads in the oficia
classification territory.
Judge S. H Cowan Of Fort Worth
Tex, representing the cattle growers
of the Southwest, protested determin
edly against the proposed advances OF
live stock from the West to the East
ern markets. He also declared thai
here was no Justice in the proposed
Increase in the rates on packing house
products.
Must Slaughter in West.
The witness declared the move
nent to raise the dressed meat rate Il
yer cent and the live stock rates is tC
% per cent meant in the first place
that the cattle raisers could not sent
stock on the hoof to the East fol
slaughter. The price would be tot
high. In the second place, the West
ern markets would suffer because o
the unjust disparity in the amount O
the increases on the two classes.
The result Of the proposed readjust
ment Of rates, said Judge Cowan
would be higher prices for meat al
over the country. Especially woult
this be true Of the East, he said
where no slaughtering would be done
All live stock would have to be dress
ed near the section in which 1t Il
raised and this would confne the
packing house business to Chicago
and the Missouri river territory.
This would also mean lower price,
for stock to the growers, said the wit
ness. With the Eastern competition
destroyed the Western packers woul'
be in a better position than now Z
control live stock prices.
