ASSERT RETAILERS
DOUBLE ON MEATS
Armour Men Tell Senators
Wholesale Prices Are is
to q Cents.
PACKERS ARE DEFENDED

Meat in the carcass has been sold
to Washington retailers from IS cents
to 81 cents by Armour & Co. within
the last few weeks. and yet the
retail prices for meats have been
something like a hundred per cent
higher. representatives Of Armour &
Co. testified before the Senate
District subcommittee yesterday
afternoon. The committee is seeking
to ascertain whether there is pro-
fiteering going on in foodstuffs in
Washington.
F. e. White Of Chicago. one Of the
vice presidents Of Armour & Co.. and
W. W. Trewhella, the local representa-
tive OF the same company, were on the
stand.
Mr.. White was asked why the retail
prices Of meat should remain at the
same high level, aud even go higher,
than they were earlier in the year,
when the price Of cattle on the hoof
and the wholesale price Of dressed
beef has been reduced in the last
three months.

Labor Cost to Packers Increases.
Mr.. White said that the labor cost
to the packers had increased 1874 per
cent in the last four years, and that
another increase is now being asked.
He told the committee there is q big.
supply of cattle in this country today
and also of hogs. The number of
SINAI! packing houses throughout the
the last five years, he said. The big
ave, he said, kill about 70 per cent of
the goyernment-inspecte cattle and

those killed. so the big Ave kill ap-

Prices of Beefsteak.

The committee questioned Mr.. Trew-
hella about certain cuts of beef. He
said that retail dealers would have
to pay about 80 cents a pound whole
sale for sirloin and about % to rs
cents pound for round steak.
The retailers here, he said. with
their refrigerator facilities, could
handle meat for seven or eight days,
but they ought to sell it all by that
time. or there would be a noticeable
shrinkage in 1t.
Mr. Trewhella insisted emphatically
that the big ave make no attempt to
divide up the territory in Washington:
Armour & Co. is represented
here also BY the Columbia Hotel
Company the committee was told
and this company sells only to hotels
and restaurants, which have to have
special service and special cuts OF
meat.

cudahy Company, ts being heard by

Armour Profits Put at SO Fer Cent.

He said that the food administration
| had permitted the packers to earn 8
| per cent on their investment. Last
year. he said, the profit on Armour &
Co.'S meat business had been only Sc
fper cent. Mr.. White said that the ex-
lresentatives Of the Federal Trade
Commission had shown this to be 9
| fact. He charged that the Federal
Trade Commission, however. had not
made these figures public.
| 1T those fgures had been put out
there would not have been 80 much
| talk about the packers and charges
| that they made exorbitant profits"
Mr.. White described the operation OF
the packets, from the purchase. of the
cattle in the stockyards to the sale OF
the retailers. He insisted that the big
iVe'-packers-were looking after the
Interests OF the producers of cattle as
well as their own interests. that 1t
was good business for them to do so,
since they had to depend upon the
cattle producers for their raw mate
rails. The establishment of stockyards

with them by the big packers, he said.
had been entirely in the interests OF
the cattle producers. Offering ready
market and ready facilities for trans
actlng Inelr business.
Cattle on Hoof, $12.47 Per Hundred
He said that for the four weeks
ending July IL Armour & Go. had
,aid for cattle on the hoof in the
Chicago stockyards $12.47 per 100
pounds. He could not say just what
price the farmers received for these
cattle, he said. The price named was
what the packers paid the commits
sion merchants. He denied there was
any connection between the packers
and the commission merchants. He
said that 81 per cent of the animal
was meat, 6 per cent hide, per cent
fats, and the rest was the head. feet.
entraiIs, etc. Hides, he said, had
gone up lately. The higher hides and
other by-products are. he said, the
more the packer can pay to the pro-
Queer for cattle, and the cheaper the
packer can afford to sell meat to the
retailer.
"Who determines the price Of hides?''
Senator Eapper Of Kansas asked.
''The law Of supply and demand"
replied Mr.. White. He said that dur
ing the last four years Russia, which
ordinarily produced a great quantity
Of hides, had not been supplying the
market, that many hides are being
held up in South American countries

United States government had eInpued

Why Retail Prices Go Up.

1.-THE retailer" Mr.. White replied,
Advances prices on a rising market,
and he holds to these high prices as
long as his customers will let him."
A similar question was asked Mr..
Trewhella. He answered that the re-
taller Is not SO sensitive to market
conditions as Is the wholesaler. He
pointed out that the labor costs and
other overhead charges Of the retail
meat dealer have Increased very
much.
Mr.. White and Mr.. Trewhella said
that the wholesale prices of meats in
Washington were probably a little
higher on the average than in Balti-
more and Philadelphia. They ex.
planned that this was due to the fact
that FER grades OF meat are
shipl 81 % Washington, where the
dema..l for better cuts has grown
more and more insistent in the last
two years.
Mr. White said that Armour. & Co.
would welcome an Investigation OF
its books and records by any au-
thorized person or persons. He said
that the high cost OF living was q
serious question for big business as
well as for the people of the country.
and he hoped to see something done
to bring costs down. If it could be
done.
Our records show" he said, that
we have not prohteered. nor have we
employed unfair methods. We have no
advantages over any one else except
those derived from hard work and the
natural development of business"

Denies Cold Storage Abuse.

Mr.: White said that the packers
handled eggs more as convenience
70 their customers than for profit. He
keep UP the price Of eggs. and said that
they sold them for or 3 cents a dozen
more than they paid for them. The
packers deal in groceries and canned
vegetables, he said. to offset some Of
been successful In those lines Of bust
ness They dry and can milk in large
quantities also.
Senator Sheppard of Texas wanted
to know why the live stock producers
are behind the Kenyon and Kendrick
bills to have the government regulate
the packers II the packers are work
ing in the interests Of the producers
Of live stock. Mr.. White insisted that
a referendum of the live stock men
posed to such legislation.
Lower Bread Fundamental.

that If the price OF wheat could be

Of life. He said that he believed other
food prices would come down also II
the price of bread was lowered.
Mr.. Trewhella told the committee
that fresh beef in the carcass had
been sold by Armour & Co. in
Washington from 16 cents to FL cents.
He said that Chicago sent him list
Of prices which he was expected to
get for the meat it shipped. Some
times he got more and sometimes less,
he said. He said that he did between
four and Ave million dollars worth of
business here each year for Armour

Although great many collarless
gowns are still being worn, there is
plenty of room in the world Of dress
today for dainty neckwear. Women
of uncertain age realize that a soft
ening line of white, or of some light
collar, is vastly more becoming
than a dress that is not so relieved,
and youth, too, approves of any.
thing that so obviously enhances
ones charm.
It's the tailored suit, however,
that gives neckwear its greatest in
terest. A coat opening on a ,frilly
white vestee is infinitely more at
tractive than one that reveals only a
dark blouse within.
The elaborate vestees shown are
OF the lingerie type and are to be
worn with fur-trimmed winter suits
as a sort of reminder Of eternal
spring. All sorts of stunning duve-
tyn and silk waistcoats are being
offered, but they never can replace
the frilly net and lace conceits that.
season in and season out, are good
in one form or another.
This year. as the sketches show,
both high and low collars ARE de
rigeur. And what is still more in
teresting, there are tinted laces and
nets galore. One of the newer
shades is fascinating ecru which
reflects just shadow of pink; a
tone that one great creator chooses
to call French henna. 1t is charm
ing in combination with the fur
tones and the taupe and blue shades
OF the season. Perhaps an equal
recommendation is that French hen
ma is not difficult to wear.
Such laces as Irish, Carrickmacross
and Point de Venise are dyed in this
new French hehna and other shades.
Valenciennes also is dipped to match
ones blouse and neckpiece.
Valenciennes has been somewhat
in the lingerie class, or else merely
for use as an outer adornment in
narrow widths, but dipping in color
places it in the rank with other outer
trimmings.
All of these laces are formidable
rivals to the once all-sufficient filet.
Even Chantilly, the lace of laces for
dresses. is used in neekwear, though
sparingly.
The fashion OF combining several
kinds OF lace and uniting them with
fine embroidery or tucked net grows
in favor. I. raises the cost of neck
fwear because OF the intricate and
very fine work necessary for dove
failing the pieces into a pleasing de-
sign, but all this trouble is as moth
