Argentine beef sold by the carcass at 9 1/4 to 9 1/2 cents per pound, yet consumers see little relief. The probe notes no quality loss and mentions possible anti-competition tactics by importers and industry pushback against cheaper imports. Secretary Redfield mentions investigations into manufacturers threatening plant shutdowns and wage cuts amid foreign competition.
