DECLARES U. S. PACKERS
CONTROL ARGENTINE BEEF

New York, Sept. 10.-Beef packers OF
the United States are now in full con-
troll of the Argentine output OF beef
thus destroying the value of Argen-
tine beef as a competitive check on
the price of native beef, according to
testimony given before Chief Magis-
trate McAdoo at the inquiry into the
advance OF 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, this witness said
that at one time beef hearts could be
bought for 25 cents each. When the
American packers obtained control OF
the Argentine output beef hearts were
put i'm cold storage, thus diminishing
the supply so that today the cost of
these hearts is about $3.50 each.
