STOCKMEM FEAR FIGHT
ON MEAT MEANS LOSS
Texas Cattle Raisers May Operate
Own Packing House to COM
bat Present Conditions

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 3.-That
the present anti-meat trust agitation
will mean thousands of dollars out of
pocket for them is the opinion of
stockmen in southwest Texas. 1t is
generally believed that these parts will
place about 250000 head of beef cattle
on the market in a very short time,
and that this, together with the fight
of the government on the meat trust
and the meat boycott, will mean a seri-
Gus slump in prices which even now
are none too good. Many prominent
stockmen are of the opinion this COM
bination of circumstances will tend to
give the cattle industry in southwest
Texas it's final quietuS and that the
few ranchmen who heretofore have
held their land will turn it over to the
farmer This policy, if carried out,
would mean that the last great meat
producing center in the United States
would be seriously demoralized if not
eliminated.
j. M. Dobie of La Sale county. one
of the biggest producers of beef cattle
in the southwest, is of the opinion the
government is making a serious mis-
take III trying to fine the packers under
the Sherman act. This for the reason
that fine has been shown to be
wholly inefficient in such cases, being
invariably restituted by either the pub
lie or the producer. He is one of many
stockmen who favor the criminal pros
ecution of the trust.
In all probability the Texas Cattle
Raisers' association, one of the most
powerful organizations in the country,
will take the matter up and take some
action. It's members have for some
time agitated the erection of their own
packing plant, and it is not at all inn
possible that the present situation will
force this matter to a climax.
