Special Dispatch TO The Star.
CHICAGO, January 2..-Edward Tilien
president of the National Packing Com
pany. acted as spokesman for all the Chi
cago packers today. when questions re
gardlngs the impending investigation
were referred to him by representatives of
the Armour. Swift and Morris interests
Il don't see why" said Mr. Tilden
with so many things along this line still
in allegiance. the government would start
new suits. If the repo IS from the east
are true. and the investigation is begun
next week I should look upon il as a re-
flect'on of the country wide agitation on
general high prices.
There is nothing, with the possible cx-
ception OF pork. in the way of meats as
high wheat, corn and other farm prod
ucts. Logically. an investigation regarding
high prices for food products should cen
ter about the farming interests of the
country. The farmer, and not the packer
can be blamed for any increase in meat
prices.
