of the prominent live stock feeders
of the North Tlatte valley attended
a meeting held here Monday at the
call of Floyd McCaffree. chairman
of the live stock committee- of the
Scottsbluff Chamber of Commerce
at which -an association of feeders
vas effected which will have for its
purpose the protection of stockmen
against the objectionable methods
employed by the packing companies.
Two weeks ago the stockmen of
this section were urged to ship their
stock immediately upon adYice of
packers and commission men if thev
would take advantage of a gpod
market.
The resultant consignments were
quite heavy, but, according to the
stockmen, when the markets were
reached ihere was no immediate de
mand for their stock and the ship
ments were necessarily held an en
tire day. The following morning,
without showing just cause and
without explanation, it is alleged,
the price ilropped $1.50 a hundred
below what it had been at the time
of the receipt of the shipments, caus
ing the stock owners a loss of from
?16 to $20 per head.
Comparing notes, the feeders
found there had been no discrimina
tion, but that all had been sub
jected to the same decrease in price.
The forming of ttie association is
the result, a statement says. Those
interested, while aware of the fact
that they aje going against powerful
interests, will do all possible to
cause the packers to desist from
such practice."
A committee to place the matter
before the congressional legislative
committee was appointed. A perma
nent organization will be formed and
all stock feeders will be asked to
join that the protection desired may
be obtained through the strength ot
the association. '
