Fagran Cases Of Food Hoadng and Destruction Uncovered

"We despise anarchy and violence, riots and
brute force, but we know of revolutions that have
been justifable. Those who in possession of
great and powerful corporations should carefully
view the present situation and help solve the
knotty problems before u.s.
'They should hasten to do so before it is too
late, because it has been suggested by conservative
men that another Boston tea party is needed, with
the trusts playing the part of King George"
of utter conservatism and reaction, reflects the
bitter feeling throughout the country. Arrests
already have been made, boarding of food products
has been discovered in nearly every section of the
country, and much Of this boarded food has been

sumer cheated, but the pro-
ducer of the food as we'll. On
the one hand, the middleman
urged a shortage of the prod
uct as an excuse for high
prices, on the other an over
supply to force down prices at
which he bought.
The most fragrant case of
the kind occurred last week in
Louisville, where the local
agent of Swift & Co. was ar
rested. A few hours before
his arrest, he had spoken to a
group of Louisville business
men, explaining how the Big
Five packers were working to
keep down the cost of living.
He painted the food monopoly
as a beneficent giant. His ar
rest came on a charge of hav-
ing permitted several carloads
Of food to spoil in the yards
Of his plant.
The nonpartisan leader., 1919-09-01

seized and will be distributed for sale through
government agencies.
The first move in this direction was in the an
nouncement that meats and canned vegetables,
purchased for the army and which were held for
months by the war department at the behest Of
the packers, would be sold at cost by the govern
ment. This move, it will be remembered came,
however, only after the food had been held for
months and public agitation for it's sale began to
be felt in Washington Some of this food had
spoiled, more of it would have been wasted were
it not for the demand.
The supplies thus held had been sold to the
government by the packers and its existence
first became generally known when the war
department, in bulletin, made the naive ad-

The nonpartisan leader., 1919-09-01

mission that the packers had made represen-
tations to the department that unless the food
was held sent to Europe to be sold
there, the market in this country might be
broken. The department actually entertained
this idea for a long time until the position,
under the fire of public protest, became un-
tenable and it's sale through the postofice de-
partment direct to the consumer began.
There was another and worse angle to the in
vestigation that came to light. The condition has
been charged many times BEFORE only to be smoth-
cred under flood of denials from the food monop-
oly That charge is that food was deliberately per-
mitted to spoil in order to create an artificial
shortage and thus force up prices. Under this

INCREASING protests from all
parts of the country against
the high cost of living have
brought federal and state Off
cials to the realization that
there is an actual menace in
the profiteering ventures of
food purveyors. So great has
been the cry against the

big profteers, like the packers, may come under
the proposed prosecutions

the bill does lodge tremendous powers in the hands
of one These radical bills. It is useless
to pretend they not. They have teeth in them.
They propose new method of corporate control.

"a monopoly of necessities of life is indefen-
sible and intolerable; When monopoly reaches
that stage we can't say it is private business.
1t is public utility"
Senator Gronna of North Dakota made similar
plea and warned the proiteers that unless they
act quickly another "Boston tea party" is likely
to result. He said:
