ADVISED TO OPEK
COOPERATIVE MART
Packing Industry, as Consti
tuted, ' Denounced as Vicious
System by Speaker at
Exchange Convention.
,!. , (By Associated Pre.) .
New York, May 17. The meat
nackine industry as at present consti
tuted was denounced as "a vicious
system which stifles live stock raising,
so vital in the prosecution of the war
and in feeding our nation and our air
lies," in an address by United States
Senator John B. Kendrick of Wy
oming, before the contention 'of the
National Live Stock" exchange here
today. 'The senator termed the pack
ers' corporations "a trust" and said
"we have got to root them out and
w hen we have every man will look
back and wonder how we survived.
Senator Kenrick declared that "re
cent disclosures confirm our suspi
cions that a group of men with unlim
ited money, who sneer ,at the law,
have hampered our great industry."
He urged the co-operation of live
stock men "to establish a market so
that prices shall represent the actual
value of cattle the day they are mar
keted." A
F. Edson White, vice president of
Armour & Co., said that the "dis
closures referred to were the result
of an inquiry in which the packers
had no opportunity to present their
vase. He asserted the packing indus
try has met the government's de
mands "with .100 per; cent of effi
ciency.
It was brought out that a serious
obstacle in the way of increasing the
production of live stock is the in
adequacy, of transportation facilities.
A committee was named to confer
with the authorities at Washington
to enlarge the supply of cars. On this
committee are D. 0. Mosier of Chi
cago; A. F. Stryker, Omaha; C. B.
Hcinemann, Chicago; W. A. More
