KANSAS CITY, November IBIS
suance of an order by the Secretary of
Agriculture prohibiting packers from
making direct purchases of live stock
within the switching zone of public
market was urged at the opening ses
sion of the American Farm Congress
here today by J. IT. Mercer. secretary
of the Kansas Live Stock Association.
Mr.. Mercer also declared that the
interests Of the producers would be
promoted by reducing the number of
commission firms now operating at
various public stOckyards to one third
the present total.
Free Competition Stressed.
'The underlying principle unon
which which our open markets opera to
is free and open competition" he said
'and any influence which tends to in.
terfere with this principle is injurious
to the producers of live stock" Costs
Of marketing live stock. including
transportation. feeding, yardagc and
commission charges, are excessive and
should he reduced"
Direct marketing of live stock must
be decreased. Mr.. Mercer asserted. if
the public markets are to determine
prices.
''fhere can be no question but what
direct buying by the packers does in
terfere with competition at the mar.
kets.
See Relief Probable.
I'VE believe live stock organizations
and live stock producers should urge
the Secretary of Agriculture to issue
an order forbidding the price fixing OF
live stock at private unloading pens OF
killing establishments located within
the switching zone of public market
If by chance. the courts should not
sustain the Secretary in this action
we are confident that Congress will
come forward with whatever legisla
