WILL INVESTIGATE
PACKERS PROFITS
Ministry Of Agriculture Of Arsen'
tina Will Institute Inquiry

Buenos Aires, Jan. 3.--An eShaus.
tive inquiry into the workings of the
meat packing companies in Argentina
and the question of their profits, has
been instituted by the ministry OF
agriculture.
Although this inquiry is not stated
to be the outcome of the recent anti
trust campaign organized by a con-
siderable number of breeders and
grazers, 1t Is viewed with satisfaction
by the leaders of that movement
The late severe slump in cattle val
ues in the Buenos Aires markets,
where prices have fallen with startling
suddenness to a level not touched for
twenty years, has caused an acute re-
crudescence of the livestock crisis of
two years ago, when the fall in prices
was responsible for a strong "anti-
trust" agitation. The present slumF
has brought about a renewal of the
onslaught upon the packing houses on
the part of a growing section of the
breeders of the country and of others
whose businesses are closely linked up
with the pastoral industry.
This group, reinforced by many i'm
portant livestock societies. recently
held a meeting in Buenos Aires at
which the principal speaker, Pedro
Pages, vehemently assailed the meat
trust" in other words the British and
American packing houses, as the main
cause of the phenomenal fall in
prices. Mr.. Pages denounced the
packers as robbers" who, unfor-
tunately, were unlikely to fall out
over a division of the spoils, since
most of the spoils already have been
divided by them"
The Sociedad Rural, the representa-
tive agricultural society of Argentina,
which has never identified itself with
partisan campaigns, was not repre-
scented at this meeting. but the subse-
quent election of Mr.. Pages to the
presidency of that body is expected to
the position of the anti
trust" group in its opposition to the
existing regulations under which for
eign meat packing companies are al
lowed to operate.
The report of the ministry of agri-
cultures commission of inquiry, which
Is charged with a thorough investiga- !
ton of the extent of the packers
profits, is awaited with considerable |
