BILLS IN BOTH HOUSES
TO REGULATE BUSINESS
Senators and Representatives Act to End
Monopoly in Food Handling g-Supply
New Method For Control
By United Press:

BY United Press:
WASHINGTON. June 23.-Bills 10
put the meat business under federal
control were introduced today IN the
house and senate.
NO one Will deny now that the
meat packing industry is of interna
tionaI importance and that the bulk
Of the business is done by few in
dividuals commonly known as the
big packers" said Sen. KendriCk to-
day
This concentration OF control
was gained by practices which the
packers themselves acknowledge as
questionable. 7 am willing TO accept
recent statements by the packers
that these methods have been
abandoned. but there can be no
guaranty that the industry will not
relapse into its former condition. We
can no more trust the benevolent
despot in big business than we can
in government"
Provides New Method.
Following introduction of his bill,
Sen. Kenyon said;
This bill provides a new method
of controlling the monopoly in meat
products now exercised by the pack
ers. IL provides for a real regulation
OF the most powerful monopoly in
this country today. One not only con-
trolling the meat industry in all its
various ramihcatiO but one reach
ing out for possession OF unrelated
business There is a universal de
mand by both producers and con-
sumers that the monopoly shall be
curbed
The bill 7 introduced differs from
the Kendrick bill in several import
ant particulars some of which are
that this bill provides for a system
OF control OF the questions Of unre-
lated businesses. It also makes pos
sible system OF public markets and
handles the question of the divorce
ment OF the stock yards from packer
control in a different manner.
Committee TO Act.
The two bills will go 10 the COM
mittee and they will have the bene-
ht of the situation thereby created
out OF the committee I trust will
come a bill that will be a real reg
ulative bill"
With regard 20 packer control Of
unrelated businesses. Kenyon
pointed out that they have reached
out into the packing and distribu-
tion OF rice and other cereals on a
very large scale.
The farmers are a unit behind the
kenyon bill. according 10 represen-
tativcs here OF the Farmers Ma
