COLLISION STORY.
WITH PACKERS IS.
DENIED BY BAKER
No Attempt by Him TO Hold
Meat Prices Up,

WASHINGTON, May l5,--Secre-
tary Baker denies there was any rela-
tion between any attempt TO support
the prices OF meat supplies in this
country and the tentative arrangement
reached by representatives of the war
department and the packing industry
for the disposal abroad Of 2SOOWOW
pounds OF canned meats. The de-
par,ment announced lew days ago
that this stock, amounting to the nor
NAL outpu, OF American packing com,
panies for two years, would be placed
Oh the American market.
There has been misapprehension
with regard to the policy OF the de-
partment in disposing OF meat sup
plies" the secretary declared.
There has been no agreement with
the meat packers with regard 10 the
distribution OF meat supplies, but they
have suggested that the most practical
thing would he TO sell these supplies
in Europe instead OF diSposing Of
them in this country, because OF the
fact that they are packed for trans
pOrtatlon across the ocean"
