Three senators 'beef:
In 1890 farmers in Chicago first fought for and finally
received anti-trust legislation, State Sen. John Decamp
told a group of 90 last night. .
And in 1974 beef producers had better do the same.
DeCamp, along with Senators Walter Epke and
Loran Schmit told the group of mostly students that
they, have proof that Safeway and A&P Stores have
conspired to keep market beef prices low and
consumer prices high. Y ai u
They spoke last night on East Campus at an Alpha
Zeta sponsored forum. Alpha Zeta is a UNL agricultural
honorary. v , , ..
The three returned from Washington yesterday after
talking with Atty. Gen. William Saxbe about an
investigation into the meat marketing practices of the
two food chains.
Schmit is original plaintiff in a class action suit
against the chains, charging them with "conspiring to
pay arbitrarily low prices to producers and .
arbitrarily high prices to consumers."
The suit was filed June 10 and is asking $507 million

to Schmit.'., ,
"We've talked with hundreds of producers through
out Nebraska who say they've lost more money in the
last 12 months than they made in the last 12 years,
Schmit told the group. He said last fall's beef prices fell .
out of line, with the normal fluctuations of supply and
demand.
Beef producers and packers were reluctant to testify
at a legislative hearing into the matter last December
for fear of retaliation by buyers, Schmit said.
Speaking about the senators' meeting with Saxbe,
DeCamp said,. "Up until the meeting we feit everyone
knew (about the beef farmers' situation), but when we
met the top man, nobody knew. Frankly, we were
shocked at the lack of action."
If the suit is successful, those involved hope to get
the Justice Dept. to:
Dismantle the A & P purchasing department which
allegedly pressures packers into selling at low prices;
Remove A&P, Safeway, and Kroger from the
Nation Association of Food Chains, thus taking away,
their power to conspire;

I 60 YEARS AGO . J
Oct. 3, 1914 "In a rousing rally held in the Law
Auditorium, the Greeks pledged themselves to better
scholarship, more interest in school activities, and a
more wholesome relation to their home communities.
"Chancellor Avery opened the meeting with a most
interesting taik on the German Corps. He pictured
them as organizations from which the American
fraternities could learn many valuable things." , -
.,,
"There will be a meeting of the Kornensky Club
Saturday, October 3, at 8 o'clock in Union Hall,
Temple. All Bohemian students, particularly Fresh
men, are urged to be present. Several old Kornensky
members, who will be in town for the Nebraska
Washburn game will be present."
