PACKERSSAY
US CONTROL
OF PRICES IS
NOTFEAS|BLE

Edward S. Morris, Chicago meat
packer, under eross-examination to-
day before the House Interstate
Commerce Committee, deplored what
he characterized as vicious attacks"
on the packing industry. He said
much Of the criticism was "unjust
and one-sided,s and was proving
harmful to the industry.
HNo industry can survive constant
criticism" Morris said. ''The packing
industry is now and has been for
many years political football, arsi
has withstood a great amount of
abuse. I share the view Of the other
packers that the measure by which
you propose to take over the stock
yards would strike down this indus
try. 1t would mean higher prices to
the consumer and reduce efficiency
IN operation.
Against u. S. Price Control.
"Do you agree with Mr.. Swift in the
position he took that there should be
some Government agency to fix prices
on meats" asked Congressman
Steven.
II don't believe that 1t would be
practicable" Morris replied, aTt
would not be possible to establish
fixed prices on fresh meats Cbang-
ing conditions from week to week
would render such a plan impossible. {"
Morris vigorously denied that Nor
ris & Company had reaped large
profits.
Our profits last year on all cattle
slaughtered amounted to only SO cents
head" Morris said. That included
all OF our side lines. l don't believe
any business can exist on a much
smaller profit than that and be con-
Quoted upon any plan OF efficiency"
Chairman Sims questioned Mr.. Nor
ris closely with regard to the Iatter's
criticism OF the Government in deal
ing with the railroads.
You say in your formal statement
to the committee that we now have
the railroads on our hands with an
enormous incumberance which the
people must pay. and that this is an
illustration of what agitation and
misrepresentation will do; what do
you mean by that?" Mr.. Sims in
quired.
II did not mean to charge that the
Government had dealt unfairly with
the railroads and l withdraw that
portion OF my statement which had
been so interpreted" Morris replied,
"I'hope the railroad situation will
work out alright. The roads are In
terrible muddle, and ! do NOT want
to see the packing industry get in
the same fix"
