will be felt in many other lines OF
industry.
II interpret this bill as an effort
to dissolve an alleged monopoly and
to decentralize the meat packing In

to be constructed in the belief that
great number of small units en-
gagged in the purveyfrlg or food Is
preferable to few which are organ

If the ability Of the packing in
dustry to function properly is i'm,

industry, and 1t in turn will affect
corn prices. Wheat will then DC

"The theories on which pending

are reactionary! 1pThey would disrupt
the great manufacturing and market

of enterprise has evolved and the re-
suits would be detrimental not alone
to the leading industry of this ma
ton, but even more SO to that por'

Possibility of government owner
