Armour Drafts Bill 10 Cover Packer Faults
Washington January 28 Armour president J Ogden Armour told the senate agriculture committee he and counsel are drafting legislation to regulate the meat packing industry to replace bills before Congress He will seek approval from major packers and independents before presenting the measure claiming it would satisfy producers and consumers while avoiding packer antagonism He opposed government control of packing houses and related facilities but supported private ownership of branch houses and tolerated government owned branches for small packers. He warned government operation could impair efficiency. Morris of Chicago before the interstate commerce committee said he would not object to government ownership if promptly reimbursed but otherwise feared chaos and higher living costs He argued no meat industry monopoly exists and prices of livestock had doubled in four years He questioned the National Live Stock association market committee’s aims and proposed Congress investigate the association funds and uses Morris noted Morris and company profits were 7.24 percent on capital and that profits were on only about half of food administration approved output He contended producers’ profits may surpass packers if the FTC inquiry widened beyond the five big firms.
