Congress Fast-Tracks Packer Legislation in 1921 Session
The 1921 extraordinary session moved quickly to advance the Haugen bill regulating interstate and foreign commerce in livestock and dairy products. It faced stiff Senate opposition but ultimately passed the House, with conference edits removing radical provisions to become law. Critics argued the measure served packers, not farmers, as Kendrick and others pressed for harsher reforms.
