Chairman Lodge and others were

During the debate, which was in

Senator Lodge is understood to

FEDERAL REGULATION or

In the senate today by Senator Nc
Kellar, democrat OF Tennessee, as 8
certain means Of reducing the cost o
living and as the only remedy for the
most outrageous piece of~profiteering
that can be imagined"
The meat packers were charged by
the Tennessee senator with using cold
storage facilities to fix food prices.
Explaining his bill, Senator Nc
Kellar said it would limit the time
foods could be held in cold storage
and has been vigorously opposed by
the packers.
Citing recent statistics of the fed
eral trade commission of food held in
cold storage, Senator Mcclellan said
they showed vast Increases over the
amounts stored last year. He com
pared retail prices, secured from the
manager OF the senate restaurant
showing large increases in price, de.
spite the increased supplies In storage.
Some middlemen,' said Mr.. Nickel
lar, "are making &c 2-3 per cent profits
on eggs alone. The only possible way
in which these prices can be manipu-
lated is through the medium OF cold
storage. Put a limit on the time in
which these goods can be held and
the packers will be compelled to sell.
Eggs, particularly" the senator as
serted, ARE monopolized. They are in
the hands of the most giant monopoly
there is in the world. The price the
packers pay and the price at which
they are sold is out Of all proportion
and they will never come down until
