Packers Try to Shift Price Responsibility to Retailers
Chicago January 29. Defense counsel in the packers trial cross examined witnesses to show retailers paid high dressed beef prices but packers often sold to retailers for less than seven cents a pound. They cited shipments from National Packing plants to Chicago Kansas City St Louis Omaha and St Joseph in 1903 with many prices between five and eight cents a pound.
