Think PACKERS
GOING Beyond
Their PROVINCE
Entering Lines Of Business
Not Related to Meat
Industry, Witness
Says.

Washington, Aug. ls-The danger
as seen by the Federal Trade COM
mission in the entrance of the pack
ing industry into lines OF business
beyond the packing Of meat was de-
scribed by William B. Colver, men,
Der of the commission, Monday to
the senate agriculture committee. In
its opening hearing on the Kenyon
bill to divorce ownership of the
stock yards and refrigerator cars
from the packing concerns of the
country and to regulate by license
their operation the committee was
taken over much of the ground trav-
cled BY the commission in its inves-
tigation of the packing industry.
"The refrigerator car and their
| use of it," said Commissioner Col
yer, referring to the five big pack
ers," was not in itself a bad thing
But they have turned the refrigera-
tor car into travelling wholesale
grocery, peddling at every city IN
the country every day almost every
| thing that people eat.
when the packers" he continued,
"have found their customers buy
ing something else besides the meat
they have to sell, or its by-products,
they have gradually commenced to
get into the business Of supplying
the other things. When they have
themselves been large buyers of a
given commodity they have gotten
into the production Of that article
and gone into competition with
their former purveyors. When they
have found a substance which has
become to some extent substitute
for meat products they have gone
into the business of making and sell
ing that substance"
Extreme instances Of the tenden-
cy, the commissioner asserted, had
turned meat packers to hotel 0perat-
ing when they had started only to
sell soap, to making tennis racquets
because gut strings went into such
articles, and to selling soda foun-
tains because beef tea was there
