ARGENTINE BEEF men
ASK GOVERNMENT aid
Packers and Railroads in Com
bine to Keep Them Out,
They Say.

New York Special: Charges that the
present prohibitive prices for meat are
due largely TO the manipulation OF the
worlds markets by the allied packers
and the discrimination of railroads
against independent Argentine import
ers were made yesterday in complaints
forwarded to the Interstate Commerce
commission and the acting secretary OF
agriculture by a.. III. Benjiman, agent
for the independent packers in Argen-
tina.
Admitting that the cost Of beef would
continue skyward. no matter how unre-
stricted importations were, Mr.. Benji-
man. who has offices at No. "a State
street. declares that an equable market
can be attained only when the United
States government curbs the activities
pf allied packers and forces the rail-
roads TO extend equal privileges to all.
Unless relief is granted speedily, he
complains, the independent shippers in
Argentine Will be forced under the con-
troll OF the allied meat interests OF the
United States and there will be no pos
Bibility of reducing the price OF meat.
He charges that the railroads have
refused to give him refrigerator cars to
ship the 100000 pounds OF beef he is
receiving weekly into this country. and
that when cars are offered him they
are offered without the equipment nee
essary to ship the meat.
American packers. he asserts, are
shipping enormous quantities OF Ar
genttne beef from their packing houses
In Argentina to England, In a fight to
control the business there. now con-
trolled by independent packers. In
their effort to break the market. he
says, between $4,000 and 10000. more
quarters of beef are being shipped there
than can be consumed. This over
now. he adds. is transshipped to this
country and sold as chilled beef" al
though during its transshipment II
passes through several temperatures
and Is not first class. The added cost
OF this meat. he charges. Is paid by the
American people. bringing Argentine
beef from one and one-half 10 two cent?
higher than II should cost.
