MEAT PROFITEERS
CHECK CONSUMPTION
Prices Charged Not in Any
Way Justified, Says Everett
C. Brown.
Special Despatch to THE NEw YORK HERALD.
Now York Herald Rmreau

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau
Washington, ID. C., May 3. I
Meat prices now being charged by
retailers represent profiteering to the
greatest degree the country ever has
known and are nor IN any way justified
by wholesale prices, the National Live
stock Exchange declared to-day in a
report submitted to the House Agri-
cultural Committee by its president,
Everett c. Brown. The report was sub
mitted in opposition to the packer con-
troll legislation.
This profiteering. the exchange de-
clared. is driving the greatest meat
eaters in the world TO diet of pre-
digested foods heretofore reserved for
invalids and domestic animals"
Mr.. Brown stated that attacks on
the packers by the Federal Trade Com
mission had hindered foreign trade and
that the producers and shippers are
agreed that agitation for this legislation
has driven down the prices they re-
celve.
Nearly all Of the shippers" he said,
ARE attributing as one reason for pre-
vailtng low prices the constant agita-
ton that has been going on for three
or four years in this form Of legislation.
and an expression that Is common all
over the West Is that the walking dele
gates and agitators and high salaried
farm leaders are doing more by their
agitation to prevent the consumption OF
meat foods alone than all the good they
could do in a hundred years by their
tearing down tactics, and there is a
feeling prevalent among producers all
over the country that the attacks made
by the Federal Trade Commission and
by self-constituted associations claim
ing to represent certain branches of the
producers have practically caused a
cataclysm in prices of all kinds OF
live stock and its products
Government figures will show con-
clusively that wholesale meat prices fol-
lowed the downward trend OF livestock
prices, so that to-day the retailer can
and does buy his meats at wholesale at
practically pre-war prices. Have any
Of you gentlemen been able to buy your
meats at retail at prices anywhere near
the pre-war basis?
obviously not and one would think,
from the prices asked by some stores,
that not only did meat famine exist,
but that the war was on in fun swing,
with all sources Of supply shut off and
only few carcasses available for dis
tribution."

Warren S. Stone, president of the en-

the employees a living wage. He also
said that cutting wages was not the So

THE truth is" he said, that If this
