Armour Co Head Fears Return of Black Markets
CHICAGO April 7. PI Frederick W Specht president of Armour and Co, hopes his prediction that meat price controls will not work was wrong. He fears a black market could return after a stockholders meeting on Feb 16. He insists the company is trying to make price controls work while noting possible animal shortages and increased slaughterer competition. Specht recalls 1948 slaughter limits and says black marketeers bid high for livestock but OPA rules curb new entrants and backyard slaughter remains a risk. Armour posted a net income of 19,038,787 in 1950 and notes the earnings imply less than a penny per five pound roast to consumers.
