Swift denies FTC charges on packing profits in Congress hearing
Louis F. Swift of Swift & Co testified before the House committee on interstate and foreign commerce denying FTC findings. He argued proposed Lima and Kendrick bills would cripple the packing industry, called profits very small and often losses, and said the public misimpression is the issue. He noted Swift owned 7,000 refrigerator cars with 20 percent underused and suggested government purchases if prices were guaranteed. The witness claimed real competition exists and that packers were not allowed to answer at the hearings. He contrasted past cattle prices with current costs and cited limited salmon packing by Libby and Wilson.
