CONSUMPTION OF MEAT

CHICAGO, Dec, 10- Something has reduced the per capita consump- tica of meat in this country in the past year, W. J. Carmichael, secretary of the National Swine Growers Asso- citation, said here, discussing the "Eat More Meat" movement he is endeav- bring to set underway. He has called a meeting of livestock producers, live stock exchanges and packers for Chi -cago Dec, 2.
 At this conference he proposes to enlist all interested in establishing a national organization to act as clean ing house for meatmen's difficulties of this nature. Among these is what MT. Carmichael terms unfair propa- ganda against meat.
 ''vegetarianism is making some headway in certain sections" MT. Car michael said, .but a large part of the decrease in meat eating appears due to the tse of meat substitutes. These have been encouraged by advertiseing. We don't object to people using sub stit,ltes but we feel it very unfair tor them to be led to do SO, as in some cases, by misleading comparisions with maat values"
