'Cudahy Doubts a Beef Trust.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MILWAUKEE,. January 24.-Speaking
Of the present prices of meat, Patrick
Cudahy, president of Cudahy Brothers
Packing Company. said that If there was
such a thing as a beef trust and 1t had
been practicing unfair methods he
hoped it would be punished to the full
extent.
1.-THE meat boycott probably will bring
down prices" he said. but the price of
livestock has got to come down before
the price of meat does. and the whole
saler will be just as well off, or better.
when prices are lower than now. for the
dealer has to have a margin for profit,
no matter what the price is.
1T is the farmer who will suffer, and
don't believe he needs any sympathy. for
he has been getting the best Of it right
along"
The plan to start a complete meat boy
colt here is threatened. because of the
fear that the socialistic party will make

Farmer Gets Little.

Secretary Wilson made the statement
that the farmers. although they were
admittedly getting good prices for their
products at this time, received very lie

the prices Of food products.
I'VE found" he said, during the
course Of our inquiry that the two
year-old steer on the farm can be
bought today just as cheaply as twelve
years ago."
Representative Wiley of New Jersey
here broke in on the Secretary to say
that a friend Of his who has a big farm
in New Jersey where food cattle are
fattened for market told him that he
has to sell his veal at a cent a pound
cheaper now than formerly.
But" said Mr.. Wiley. II understand
trict Of Columbia has advanced from
twenty to thirty per cent
That is true" replied Mr.. Wilson.
The Secretary then went on to discuss
farm conditions with reference to their
possible relation to the high prices Of
all food products of the farm.
Until comparatively recently" he said.
the American people enjoyed the cheap
est food in the world. But nowadays
not enough people know how to farm
Of a days work, know how to make
an acre respond. The lure of the factory
has called the farmer from the ow.
The worst farming in the country is done
east of the Allegheny mountains, and
| agricultural land is the cheapest in this
section. in consequence. The boys have
left the farm, and the scarcity of labor
is now the greatest curse of the agri-
culturalist.''
Our Products Cheaper Abroad.
Then the Secretary made this state
ment:
Il am gathering proof now which will
demonstrate that the food products of
the American farm are being sold in
foreign countries cheaper than in the
United States. This is not due. as some
have said, to the excess of production
over con assumption and the necessity for
getting rid of the surplus abroad. 1t
is due to the trusts-just to the trusts.

On the subject of cold storage and the
length of time that meats and other
peri shable food products could be kept

would have some interesting and valuable
information to lay before the committee

dences, that not only the health Of the
community, with regard to storage, but
also prices, as between producer and con-
sumner, would be considered.
II had no idea just what you wanted
when / came up here" remarked the
Secretary in beginning his statement, "but
the Department of Agriculture has been
busy for some time collecting facts con-
corning meats on the farm, their move
ment to market and the prices at which
they are wholesaled and distributed by
the retailer.
Profits of Local Retailer.
I'VE do not know why the people of
the District of Columbia should pay a 40
per cent increase to the man who cuts
and distributes the carcass, and yet that
Is the figure. Every time you put your
basket on your arm and buy a cut of
meat. 40 per cent of the price you pay
goes to the retailer who sells it to you
We can't find out why 1t is the case, but
1t is. With the power of Congress behind
you it should not be too difficult for you
to find out.
Congress has done wise thing to
create committee to investigate just one
city, and that city the one over which it
has absolute control.
THE people who work for the govern
ment In this city, great many of them,
scarcely get enough, in these times of
high prices, to live upon. They tried to
organize and protect themselves by form
ing a guild and buying from the whole
salers, SO they could distribute the food
supplies among themselves at a reason
able price. But the wholesalers here
would not permit it. They would not sell
to the guild. l would suggest that you
call the officers OF this guild before you.
They should be able to We you some
valuable information. What is done here
I have no doubt Is done elsewhere"
