r. F. Logan, Packers Agent, Tells
of Elaborate Ball Attended by the
Officials and congressman.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Appearing
committee, J. Ogden Armour, presi-
dent of Armour 4 Company, was
questioned further as 10 operations of
the meat packing industry.
The committee is conducting a hear
ing on the bill proposing government
regulation.
Establishment Of a central agency
to control shipments of animals to
market was advocated by Mr.. Ar
mOur, as a means of stabiliZing price
and preventing gluts in the market.
Tie said supply was not the only fac
tor in fixing the market price for live
stock. 1t depended also on the f1uc-
tuating demand for meat.
Replying to Representative Ste
phens, Democrat, Nebraska, Mr.. Ar
mour said the consumer could pro-
Iect himself in measure against the
high prices by refraining from pur-
chasing. but the producer of live stock,
like the packer, had to take whatever
the market was paying at the time
he sold
I'VE are much interested in main
tanning reasonable price, much more
so than in having a price too high to
discourage the eating of meat or too
low to prevent the raising of CATTLE"
Mr.. Armour said.
81 also think there ought to be some
thought of arrangement to protect
all" said Mr.. Stephens.
Bringing out that the S15,000,000
earnings shown in Armour's annual
statement did not include S6S0O000
set aside for income and erceSs profits,
Mr.. Stephens asked: "Then you are
passing that on to the consumer|
"That may be So" Mr.. Armour re-

Representative Hamilton, Republic
can, Michigan. attempted to develop
the possible effect on the packers of
the food relief appropriation of $780,
100000 requested by President Will
son.
"They say the fund will enable the
packers to sell in southeastern Europe
n great surplus of salt pork which
has been accumulated in England and
which the people there won't eat now
that the war crises is past" Mr.. Ham
flton said.
Mr. Armour replied the packers
perhaps had larger stocks of salt pork
than ordinarily, but he thought there
was going to be a demand for 1t.
Mr.. ArmOur's statement that the
bill pending to license the packing
industry and to permit the govern
ment to take over stock yards and
refrigerator cars was unconstitutional,
was touched on by REPRESENTATIVE
Hamilton The witness said he
thought the bill was so ''ridic,iE,u
