THE MEAT MONOPOLY
BRANCHING OUT.

The latest complaints against the
Big Five meat packers are canning
factories and wholesale grocers.
The canning and wholesale gro
Gerry industries appear now to be in
line for absorption by the meat
packers in their implacable ambition
to dominate the entire food supply
of the nation. Grocers have COM
planned of the actions Of the Big
Five to Congress and declare that
their Independent existence is men,
aced by the packers greed for mo-
noply. Gamers find themselves in
vaded and threatened also. The
ramifications of the meat packing
bosses are constantly becoming more
complex and extended, with no re-
spect whatever to the outcries Of
alarm, the indictment brought by the
Federal Trade Commission and the
warning note which Food Admins
traitor Hoover issued to President
Wilson.
But the President is reported to
have become aroused to this issue Of
the threatened monopoly of the ma
tons food supply and he has or
dered data to be prepared for him to
enable him to draw up recommends
tions to Congress for the regulation
of the packing industry.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa, strikes
fairly at the root of the monopoly in
his bill to drive out the packers from
control Of stockyards, to make re-
frigerator cars common carriers and
to provide a license system to apply
to all firms engaged in the packing
industry, including traders and COM
mission firms; in short, to confine
the packers in the packing business.
