ELECTION CAUSE:
OF ATTACK ON
PACKING TRUST
BY BRUCE WAYBUR. UE-CIO


The Democrats have belatedly re-
membered the housewife. They are
putting on a prediction word cam
paign against Wall Street and the
trusts which are responsible for the
high cost of living The climax of
this campaign appears to be schedul-
ed to coincide with the political race.
The main target in this campaign is
the high price of beef
Back in October, 1916, President
Truman gave in to the bIackmaiI of
the beef trust and removed all price
controls on meat. Now. with the
election just around the corner,
Truman's Attorney General Tom
Clark has filed an antitrust suit
against the Big Four of the beef
trust-Armour, Swift, Cudahy, and
Wilson. Clark accuses them of sup
pressing competition in the sale of
meat products, and asks the court to
break these giant corporations up
into smaller companies.
It's high time something was done
about the way these companies have
been gouging the consumer. The Big
Four packers control over 80 per cent
OF the meat supply of the nation. They
have raised meat prices to the highest
levels in history. The results show up
in their profits.
Profits after taxes, for Armour,

$22 100000 in 1889 to $88,o0o,o0o in
1947. Compare that with your take

INDICTED BEFORE
What the people want to know is
when something effective is going to
be done. The beef trust has been
for over so years. The an
thrust suit declares that since 1898,
there has been an absence of effect
i've competition among the big four
meat packing companies" But anti
trust laws have been on the books
since 1890, and companies like Arm
our have been repeatedly indicted. In
1920 the Federal Trade Commission
attacked the "indefensible profit-tak
ng' of the packing industry, and es-
1ecially its phony talk about profits
being only penny or so out OF each
sales dollar But here it is 1948 and
he meat trust is stronger than ever.
There is no secret about the way !
the beef trust sWindles the public.
The Big Four divide among them
selves the lions share of livestock
coming to market. They agree
among themselves what prices they
will pay the farmers and what prices
they will charge the consumer.
There is no competition. They also
Gang up on the workers in the meat
packing industry. This year they
ran scabs into the plants under po-
lice protection to beat off wage de-
mands and two strikers were killed.

Sheep Are One

BALTIMORE Lawnmowers
that don't have to be pushed are
keeping the lawns trimmed a.
round the Johns Hopkins School
of Public Health at the busy down
town Baltimore corner of Monu-
ment and Wolfe streets. But you
can't borrow these lawnmowers.
They're sheep.
The decision to install this pas
toral scene amid Baltimore's brick
buildings and gathering street
cars was made by grey-haired DR..
Thomas 3. Turner, head of the
department Of bacteriology.
The animals were brought to
the school to provide serums for
research work. At first they were
boarded out in scattered back
yards. or confined indoors. But
freedom came with the postwar
return of DR.. Turner, who had
been setting up public health po-
licies for countries under Ameri-
can occupation.
Let 'em out" he said. Its a
shame to make them eat hay with
all that green grass going to
waste"
It wasn't long before Young
Johns Hopkins house doctors
like neighbors who borrow lawn
mowers-were asking to borrow
sheep.
But DIR. Turner was reluctant.
The sheep we're the source of a
valuable serum used in the study
of influenza, and research would
be hampered IL the tradition of
forgetting to return lawnmowers
prevailed.
So would be borrowers were
tactfully told each would have to
catch his own mower. This might
involve gamboling around the
Public Health buildings lawn with
a net in one hand and a bunch of
carrots in the other, while trying
to maintain professional dignity.
In general everyone seems well
pleased with the scene. The sheep
are happier. Their contribution to
science reqeires an occasional
blood donation, and DR.. Turner
thinks they recuperate faster for
being in a better frame Of mind.
