The Old United Packinghouse Workers union calls for a government investigation into meat pricing. Ralph Helstein says large packers wield monopoly power, noting a 48 percent beet markup in June, and asserts prices hurt low and moderate income families. Packler spokesmen call the union claim misleading and say the data are misrepresented. In a separate incident at Rosecrans Field, a fire destroyed a warehouse and two CG-4 airplanes, with losses estimated at 1.304 million dollars.
