Everett C. Brown of Chicago, head of the national live stock exchange, tells the House Agriculture Committee that retail meat dealers are the country’s greatest profiteers. He cites Chicago price surveys showing 100 percent marksups from wholesaler to consumer and a street across the way charging 10 to 18 cents more per pound for the same meat. He calls for action against retailers while opposing packer regulation.
