Packers Charged With
Trying To Muddy
The Waters
'tIN THE CONTROL
OF A MONOPOLY"
Is Charge Of Southern
Wholesale Grocers'
Association

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. IT.
The Packers are trying to raise fog
concerning the Kenyon Bill by max.
ing people think that it would estab.
lish a license system" AS matter
Of fact, no such system is involved ir
the Bill. Would requiring q reckless
driver to give bond for future good
conduct create a bonding system"
The idea is little short of absurd. OBJ
viously, the bond would be required
only of q driver who was reckless
and would not affect those who did
not drive automobiles, nor those who
drive them recklessly.
The fact concerning the Meat Pack
ing industry is that it has been found
to be in the control of a monopoly.
This fact has been found by the
Food Administration and by the Fed
eral Trade Commission. Also, pre-
vious Government investigation, long
before the Federal Trade Commission
was established, has proved the saRe
fact.
The question is, how can we make
the Antitrust Laws effective in
stamping out monopoly in the Meat
Packing Industry. and remove the
menace Of = great food trust! We
do not want to destroy the Meat
Packers, but they must be reg
ulated.
Past experience shows that it has
been almost impossible to convict the
trust, and when convicted the results
have been small. Therefore, Sena-
tors Kenyon and Kendrick, in draw
ing tssix H1hssHhich are now before
the Senate Committee on Agricul-
ture, have endeavored to put teeth in
them.-teeth which will be effective
in checking monopoly.
They believe that the Investigations
Of the Food Administration and Of the
Federal Trade Commission establish
q prima facie case that monopoly
control exists. Therefore, these Bills
shift the burden Of proof to the Meat
Packers. That means that when the
Secretary of Agriculture shall find
that the Meat Packers are disobey-
ing the law, he may take prompt ac-
tion against them, which action will
be effective unless the Packers can
prove in the Courts that the findings
Of the Secretary Of Agriculture are
wrong. To accomplish this the Bills
provide that the Packers must go
through the form Of taking out q IL
cense. in which they agree to live up
to the Antitrust Laws. If they are
found to be in violation of these laws,
the Bills provide that the Secretary of
Agriculture may either suspend or
revoke the license. The Meat Packer
may then appeal to the Courts and
have full hearing before action is
taken. Thus he is provided with his
day in Court"
This is not ''license system" like
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1919-09-17

that enforced by the Food Admins
tration, and which has come to be a
bugbear to 50 many business men. It
is not a precedent for other business
es. It is merely wise provision de-
signed to make it possible to reach
properly and effectively a proven
monopoly.
