initiation Of foodstuff prices would re-

olll, TO regulate and license the pack
ing industry, l., d. H. Weld, manager
OF the commercial research department
OF swift q Co.. testified today before
the senate agriculture committee,
where he bill is under consideration.
The main objection to the bill" Mr..
Weld said. lis in the fact that it was
based upon reports Of the federal trade
commission, which are saturated with
glarlng Inaccuracies and misstatements.
This would be serious enough, but the
matter does not rest there, because the
bill, i passed, will further initiate the
already high cost of living
Elemental facts in the meat bust
ness, Mr.. Weld said, proved that the
packer profit on meat transactions was
about two cents on a dollar,
The Kenyon bill must either inter-
fere with the farmers end Of meat
production, or with the packers par,
Of the business Il designed to affect
the high cost Of living" he said. IF
the farmer is hit, he will cut down
production, which will bring higher
stock prices. II the packer Is hit and
his business crippled, the result viii

sion, a previous witness, remarking
that MANY of his statements here were
exaggerated and inaccurate" Swift a.
Co. owned no retail stores in England,
and Mr.. Weld said he had been unable
to find that any other American pack
err did so.
Mr.. Colver came in here and told
you gentlemen that the five large pack
ers controlled over rs per cent of the
business In hides" he continued. "They
handle less than so per cent and | as
sure you there is the keenest competi-
ton between all OF them.
told o the packers handled
700 commodities. Let me reveal to
yoV some OF the processes by which he
reached this figure. He mentioned as
separate items, butterine, cleo, and ole
o~margarfne. All three are the same.
He took % cuts of beef and listed
them ss % items. He gave lis items
as a list Of by-prodhct OF cattle dress
Ing. He mentioned 81 Items Of sau-
sage,
'Mr. Colver made the flat statement
that the packers have not put any new
capital into the business from outside
sources since 1904. Swift & Co. alone
has added S85, 000, 900 new cash capital
from sales of shares. Mr.. Colver per-
sistently ignored the number of pac
ing concerns in business In this coun-
try. Some 235 concerns are engaged in
interstate business besides the big
packers, and moreover, several hundred
concerns do a big local and intrastate
business,
"If the Kenyon bill is passed the
splendid and elaborate service given
the country at large by the big packers
will be interfered with in a way that
will hurt everybody concerned-pro-
