government SCORED
By MENEY FOR Meat
DISPOSAL PROGRAM
Chance Is Overlooked to Permit
Poor Man to Buy Bacon and
Canned Meat Reasonably,
He Says.

Los Angeles, May 16.-The gov
ernment overlooked a chance to
give the poor man an opportunity
to buy bacon and canned meat at
a reasonable price when tho war
department agreed to hold from
the American market the surplus
army canned beef and bacon, Fran
els J. Heney, who Investigated the
packers, told the United Press to-
day.
Throwing this meat on the market,
If widely distributed, would have no
serious effect on prices to the producer
of meat, Heney declared, because, con-
sidered beside the total meat consump-
ton, the amount is small.
Heney charged the Chicago packers
have already made two profits on the
meat involved. The first profit was
set when the government fixed the
price for the meat. This price, he said,
contemplated the packers paying SIS
per hundred pounds to the producer
for beef.
"a am informed that the packers
really paid an average of $1.75 per
hundred pounds less than the So
contemplated by the government
for this beef" Heney declared.
THAT means an iIIeeItimate profit
of approximately $3,50o, 900. Prac-
tically the same thing occurred as
to bacon.
1T seems to me the government,
should be a bit more solicitious about
the labor market and need not worry
so much about the market for meat,
Heney added. "Meat is withheld from
the market because it might disarrangt
market conditions.
"But at the same time ! do not
hear any wall from packers or 9TH
er profiteers over the governments
policy in throwing discharged SOL
diers onto the labor market with
out regard to the labor markets
condition."
