We have been interested in
reading an editorial which ap.

under the heading Stop it," This
article characterizes the sorcall-
ed packing combine" as power
ful and dangerous,
The News says. The packing
combine was owerful enough pe-
fore the war, but its immense
profits during the war and the re-
spectful treatment accorded by
the Hoover food Organizations
have made it an infinitely more
dangerous organization than it
was,
This association resents the
charges that the packers made
undue profits during the wa

Out Of this 5 or cents the

and numerous other items.
The packers have no control
over live stock prices, Live stock
prices fluctuate under supply and

petitive markets, and in harmony
with meat and by-product pre-
es. The packer cannot continue 10
pay more for live stock tnan

On each pound Of meat sold
the packers profit is fraction
of a cent. This means that ii the
packer scld meat without making
any money at all, the price for
each pound would be practically
the same. There would be no MA
terial benefit to the consumer ev-
en- if the packer continued with

There can be no control of Price
without control of raw material,
which the packer does not have.
An element of competition
which is always present is that or
