New York September testimony before Chief Magistrate McAdoo alleges United States packers dominate Argentine beef output, suppressing Argentine prices and harming native beef. Witness Jacob Bloch cites one packer’s control in small towns and a 13 year shortage of cattle supply, with higher beef heart prices after storage hoarding.
