THE PACKERS AND
REFRIGERATOR CARS


| Whether refrigerator cars should be
owned by the railroads or by the pack
ers-a point to be determined by leg
islation now pending in Washington
may seem to be question rather re-
mote from the interests Of the average
person. But, inasmuch as these "ice
boxes on Wheels as one Of the pack
ers terms them, are the conveyances
which bring our beefsteak to town, we
may assume that we have a certain
concern about them. If they have any,
! thing to do with the price of the beef
! steak our concern is deep one.
1t Is maintained by some that these
cars give the packers who now own
them an unfair advantage over COM
| petitors This is stoutly denied by the
i packers, who offer as proof the fact
that they pay the same freight rates
as any shipper; and they assert that
the only advantage they enjoy is in
being able to get enough cars for their
needs by furnishing them themselves
instead of depending upon the rail-
roads to do so. In this they are backed |
up by report Of the Interstate Com |
merce Commission, made after an in
vestigation Of all privately owned
cars, to the effect that there were no !,
unfair practices and that radical
change would adversely affect both
shippers and the public.
While not opposing, in principle, /
railroad ownership of refrigerator
cars, the packers maintain that there i
are not enough of these cars to go
around and that the legislation In
question makes no provision for insur-
ing that the railroads shall furnish
them in sufficient number On the
other hand, to pool their cars and take
chances of getting what happened to
be available, would seriously handi-
cap the distribution of their perishable
meat products. The stream of ship
ments from the packing plants would
be blocked. which in turn would block
the buying of live stock, and the in
dustry, which is founded on a basis OF
rapid distribution, would be badly
In these contentious pro and con,
there are three parties whose interests
are at stake-the packers, their COM
,etitors and the public. Only one Of
hese parties could gain possible ad-
7antage if the packers cars were =
AIKEN away from them, viz, the pack
'rs' competitors. The cars are now
admittedly handled on an economic
md efficient basis, and no change is
Justified unless unfairness is definitely
nd absolutely proved-which would
e in absolute contradiction to the re-
ort that the Interstate Commerce u
has already rendered on
he subject. The public would pay the
III for inefficiency in the packing In
ustry, and II has no desire to pay thj

rs competitors. IL
