The jury, which first met in
late September, has already
grilled top executives of the Big
Four packers in an effort to de-
termine whether or not there has
been collision in bringing about
the present phenomenally high
price of meat.
In 1916. year of the death of
OPA. meat packers almost
tripled their profits. while the
price Of meat rose faster than
any other single factor in the
cost of living. US. Bureau of
Labor Statistics figures found

meat.
THIS is not the first time the
meat industry has been probed for
conspiracy in restraint of trade
Indeed, in the past 60 years there
have been at least five separate
government Investigations and
they furnish interesting back
ground for the current inquiry.
Back in 1885 six firms domin-
ated the industry. BY 1919 that
had been whitfield down to five
and since then the number has
been stripped still further. But
even as early as 1890 a special
committee investigating meat pric-
es found IAN agreement to re-
frain from competition"
From 1888 on. investigation
revealed. officers of the major
packing concerns met secretly
every Tuesday at 2 pm. in a
lawyers private office and reg
ulated every phase of the meat
industry. Records were kept
but the conferees were identi-
fled only by aliases and the
names of the firms were hidden
behind code numbers or letters.
IN 1903 the us. Supreme Court
upheld Dept. of Justice injunc-
ton against these actions. So the
then Big Five. picked a loophole
and proposed to merge their own
holdings, buy up as many indie
pendents as possible and form a
Natl. Packing Co.
A last-minute hitch prevented
the full merger, but not before
t n ey had actually bought up a
large number of Independents
which they welded together I'M
der the Natl. Packing Co. title.
Since the major packers held pro-
portionate shares in this outfit
and since their members consti-
tuted its board of directors, they
continued to meet as before and
divide up the business in the same
way.

P~ascagoula River
Development Told
To Rotary Club

Edward A. Khayat, president OF
the Pascagoula-Mos Point Cham
Der of Commerce, explained the
proposed Pat Harrison Water
way to members of the Pasca-
goula Rotary Club at their noon
meeting Wednesday at the Coun-
try Club.
A chart showing the proposed
development of the Pascagoula
River system as far north as Hat
tiesburg, Laurel, and Meridian,
opening the streams to barge traf-
fic in the oil-producing sections
of the state, was used by the
speaker.
The speaker pointed out that
the development of the waterway
was no new project, having been
conceived by the late Senator
Pat Harrison and advocated by
him from 1911 until 1918, when
he was a member of congress.
Mr.. Khayat said that the pro-
Iect failed at that time because
of the lack of commerce in this
section but declared it fitting that
the project be named the Pat
Harrison Waterways"
The speaker called for active
public interest in the project,
stressing that it is not a Chamber
of Commerce dream" but of prac-
teal Importance to the citizens of
all South Mississippi"
ut is the one chance for Missis-
sippi to develop a natural re-
source (the oil industry which is
its rightful heritage" he declared.
This state is not receiving the
maximum benefits from its oil
production and cannot until water
transportation is available, he.
pointed out. Related industries
will come with the development
of the oil industry, he said, and
all of South Mississippi can de-
velop industrially.
w. K. Guest, ST., presided at
the meeting in the absence of
President w. Ed. Virgins who is
enroute to San Francisco where
he will attend the convention of

completed, Charlotte should have fairly
accurate idea~of its automobile accom-
modations and the demands to be made
upon them. From there, the next major
step will be remedial action.
While conditions in Charlotte may vary
greatly from any other cities, nevertheless
the procedure it is following is one that
could be studied by many another COM
munity. We believe the Charlotte study is
going to show that its parking problem
is not primarily its own but an individual
one for hundreds of out-of-town visitors
That they are worthy Of the best con-
sideration possible goes without saying
And those communities seeking to give
them some relief. as Charlotte is apparent
ly trying to do, will naturally reap their
business and good will.

Mr.. Broughton Announces

In announcing that he will seek the noml-
nation for senator from North Carolina,
former Governor j. Melville Broughton has
made it clear that if he is elected his in
cumbancy will be devoted to service to the
people. Il will owe no allegiance except to
the people To their service and to the ma
tional welfare I will dedicate all the energy
and ability that possess"
How well Mr.. Broughton is able to serve
the people is proved by his record as COVER
nor. While he was the states chief executive
laws were enacted providing for teacher and
state employe retirement pensions, for the
twelfth grade of instruction and nine
month term in public schools, for aid to
libraries for reorganization of state hospitals
and correctional institutions.
It was he who initiated the great medical
care and hospital program which was sub
sequently approved by the legislature.
And in addition, it was Governor Brough-
ton who took the sales tax off the family
dinner table.
The four years he was at the helm our
ship of state sailed steadily forward.
This achievement is the more remarkable
in that in addition to the many strictly do
mestic undertakings he directed he had also
to carry cut the extraordinary responsible
ties and obligations incident to war.
Surely no man anywhere has better right
to "stand on his record" in one office in
seeking support of his candidacy for an
other.

Thorough Traffic Survey

A poll of American municipalities would
show automobile traffic and parking
among their greatest problems.
Few indeed are the cities which do not
have to wrestle with this problem almost
continuously. 1t is in various forms. Each
locality has it's own peculiarities and most
often the problems, either large or small,
are the result of little if any city plan
prepar alton for the tremendous place the
automobile has won in our daily lives.
Since many cities fail in their attacks
on the traffic-parking problem because of
inadequate information as to it's exact To-
cation and intensity, it is interesting to
learn that one North Carolina municipality
-Charlotte---is conducting thorough traf-
fic survey.
At the present time, an inventory OF
all available parking space in the down.
town area is being conducted. It will de-
ternine space for parking on the streets
and the capacity of off-street parking lots

storage facilities.
