The Russian aviator Immediately

only at the cost of his own life, he
dashed into the Austrian aeroplane.

u. S. PACKERS CONTROL
ARGENTINE BEEF OUTPUT

New York, Sept. 10.-Beer packers
of the United States are now in abso-
lutte control of the Argentine output OF
beef, thus destroying the value of Ar
gentine beef as a competitive check on
the price of native beef. according to
testimony given before Chief Magis-
trate McAdoo yesterday at the inquiry
into the advance in food prices.
Jacob Bloch, member of firm own
ing several meat markets in this city,
asserted that every bit of beef from
Argentina must now be bought from
the American packers.
AS an instance of how this control
Influenced the price, the witness stated
that at one time beef hearts could be
bought for % cents each. When the
American packers obtained control of
the Argentine output, he continued.
beef hearts were put into cold stor-
age, so that today the cost OF these
hearts is about $1.50 each.
The packers have arranged the terri
tory outside New York City so that
the small dealers are at their mercy.
Mr. Bloch testified.
AS remedies for the present condi-
tfons he offered the following sugges-
tions for action by congress-:
An export duty should be placed on
beef; the government lands of the
west should be thrown open for graz
ing; killing of any female calf under
3 or years old. or of any calf weigh
ing less than $50 pounds, should be
prohibited; 10 per cent OF the income
tax should be used for fostering the
raising of cattle; public slaughter
houses. like those in England, should
be established.
