Secretary Wilson Urges Antitrust Action on Retail Prices
He repeats that city meat dealers earn about a 20 percent margin and argues wholesalers set retail prices. He cites excessive retailers in large cities and a lack of competition due to a combination not involving packers. He calls for a thorough Congress inquiry into the cost of living and agricultural promotion to lure youth back to farming.
