fltr i V THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1919. ! South Side SAYS PRICES OF ' MEAT MAY SOAR FROM NEW ORDER President. of South Side Firm - Fears Consumer, and Pro- . ducer May Suffer From Packers' Agreement. , In reference to the order of the United States government directing . meat packers of the country to give ' up side lines in which they, have been engaged and devote theirac tivities solely to the meat industry, Edward Morris, president of Morris & Co., issued a statement, which was given out here Tuesday, explaining the packers' version of the order.;,- Among other things, Mr. .Morris says, the government and the pack ers have reached an agreement to adjust all differences and settle ment was made with the express un derstanding that it does not involve the violation of any law. , : He says that the packers still in sist that in the interest of live stock i producers the stock yards should be owned and managed by the peo- pie who have an interest in the in dustry and the building up of the markets at the great live stock cen- ters. He ' denies that the adjust . ment of the business of the packers will necessitate the readjustment of the organizations. That the packers are giving up only certain activities, is the state- ment of Mr. Morris, and he says,, that as this has been agreed to, he hopes the public will accord fair treatment to the vital industry of packing house operation and discon tinue needless and unjustified criti cism and agitation, which he says helps no one and hurts all. In conclusion, he' said the hand ling of staple groceries by the va rious packing house companies was , a sound economical measure- con ducted in the interest of the public generally, because the operations in ; those lines utilized the facilities of the companies during the slack sea , son, furnished the retailer excellent I service and reduced' overhead op- erating expenses. He said when 'the extraneous activities were taken - away from the packers, either the live stock prducer must get less for their animals pr the consumer must pay more for meat "f Demure Gypsy GirT : .
