Meat Producers Seek Open Market and Regulation
Des Moines Jan 29 The Corn Belt Meat Producers association discussed the meat packers monopoly case between producers consumers and small independents. FE L Burke urged legislative action to curb the alleged packers control and proposed three paths including government ownership only as a last resort. He favored Kendrick bill provisions on stockyard ownership segregation and railroad controlled refrigerator cars with equal service, plus a general license under agriculture department. A telegram from Washington confirmed hog prices at 17.50 for February, a favorable reply to a prior plea for stable pricing.
