Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, d. C.-Disregarding an
offer by the largest packing interests
of the country to submit to an inves'
tigation by the department OF agricul-
ture, representatives OF live stock
growers Monday appeared before a
house judiciary subcommittee and de-
manded an inquiry into every angle
of the industry, particularly as to the
alleged price fixing, by an inquisitorial
body with unlimited powers Of sub
poena.
"The producers and feeders want
real investigation" declared Walter L.
Fischer, attorney for the market COM
mittee Of the National Live Stock as
sociation. "They do not believe that
other inquiries along this line have
been real"
The subcommittee met to consider
resolution introduced by Represen-
tative Borland, of Missouri, which
would direct the federal trade commits.
sion to determine whether the pack
ers are violating the antitrust laws.
Representatives of both packers and
growers were present, but the only
speakers Monday were Mr.. Fischer and
members of the committee. 1t prob
ably will be several days before the
packers have an opportunity to pre-
sent their side of the case.
representatives Borland, Doolittle
of Kansas, Steele of Iowa, Kent OF
California and Mr.. Fischer spoke ad-
vocating an inquiry and contending
that concrete evidence of the exist
ence of packers combination could
be procured. There seemed to be gen
eral sentiment favoring broadening
the scope of the Borland resolution.
