SPEAKERS AT THE NATIONAL
CONFERENCE WANT CATTLE
INDUSTRY PRORED.
PACKERS MAKE MORE THAN SELLERS

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-Speakers at the
National Conference on Marketing and
farm Credits. in session here. said to-
day they would invite meat packers to
join in petition for a federal investi-
cation Of the entire cattle industry.
The packers, it was stated, have hith-
erto opposed such an investigation.
Several speakers insisted that the
whole cattle and packing industry, as
proposed in the Barland bill, should
be investigated, not as an attack on
the packing industry, but to discover
for the cattlemen where lies the waste
which some economists assert ac-
counts for the absence of substantial
profit to the cattlemen.
w. Fl. Parry of the federal trade
commission. was an attentive listener.
1t is this commission which the cattle.
men asserted should make the in
vestigation.
Exhaustive charts showing the com
parative trend OF prices of livestock
and dressed meats displayed at to-
days session of the conference were
| used as the basis by some delegates
| or the declaration that although the
| charts cOrrespOnded to some extent
| packers are making comparatively
| greater profits than cattlemen.

| Livestock association, and A. r. De
Ricqles of Denver, Colo. secretary 0

We're among the speakers who advo
Gated inviting the aid of the packer
in solving the problem of the cattle
men,
Mr. DeRicqles, whose committe
made an investigation of the market
ing question, suggested that possibl.
IA packing monopoly properly con
trolled would be good thing and evel
suggested that ii might be for tn
good of al concerned if the packer
who are also the biggest wholesalers
should go into the retail meat bus
ness.
