Packing firms scored by Omaha man in Senate hearing
Edward L. Burke of Omaha Neb vice president of the American National Live Stock association told the Senate agriculture committee that federal regulation of the packing industry is unnecessary and warned that packers risk destruction if forced into excessive controls. He backed Kenyon and Kendrick bills but urged practical, fair rules and denounced undue government influence. Other witnesses argued for licenses and stronger federal oversight, while some cattlemen favored public control and California stock yards, with at least one banker opposing regulation as a long step toward socialism.
