MUST CON Troll PACKERS;
j, S. SENATOR INSISTS
Absolutely Monopolize Production
and Distribution, Kendrick
Tells Cattlemen's Meeting,
~ AsaorIated 60 q 80 Evening

"
Denver, Jan - The five d moat
packing firms of the United States were
declared hy Senator Kendrick of Wyom-
ing. here to-day, to have such q control
over both the producing and the dis
trlbutinp markets that they have the
power to commit All the abuses With
which they arc charged, and more
regardless Of whether there is an sctual
combination in that their represents
tlveS meet regularly to agree on prices
The Senator, addressing the American
National Livestock Association con-
vention. described q bin which he intro
duced 10 regulate the meat industry,
and said il ought n be possible 10 bring
about free market that would make II
possible for both producer and packer
and consumer to work profitsblv together.
1T is perfectly obvious he told te
convention. hat the packers abSofufei
dominate the meat industry of the country.
With MI tho interests involved
and under the circumstances which
surround the business II would be diff
cult for them 10 flo otherwise than tn
work n unison. and il IL scarcely necessary
Il seems To me. 10 attempt t0 prove that
the packers agents meet daily or weekly
or monthly - determine prices IL
is only necessary to point out that their
common interest would naturally tend
10 make them act IN common manner.
There il no class nf the pouplation
that Is not vitality interested in proper
government control Of the meat packing
industry because IT has grown TO such
proportions that IL may now be termed
the nations food industry 1t is a
tremendous import ance, therefore that
Congress should establish some sort Of
control
.'The brli which 7 have introduced is
intended 10 secure this end with the least
possible disturbance 70 anv interest
II aims merely 10 Apply 10 this industry
the principles which have been applied
70 every other business engaged III
interstate commerce We do not ask
that the government take over the
packing houses, nor even that 1t should
operate the stock yards We ask only
that the packers snail no longer be
permitted to own and control both the
producing and the distributing markets.
To this end my bill makes provision
that will compel the packers 10 dispose
Of their ownership ID the stOckyarCis.
Just as a few years ago Congress COM
PEELED the railroads 10 surrender the
OAneTSHip 81 coal mines IL IufiHeF
provides that refrigerator cars shall
be subjected 10 the Interstate commerce
act in the same manner that all ohher
cars and telephone facilities are subject
TO It
Finally the bill provides for llcens-
ing system Tor meat packers for commas
sion men and for stockyard owners
80 that the government may keep IFS
fingers on the pulse OF the industry.
