‘Washington, July 11.—An approach
ing packer demination o fall import
ant foods in the United States and
international control of meat products
with foreign companies, seems a cer
tainty, unless fundamental action is
taken to prevent it, the Federal Trade
Commission declared today in art of
one of its reports to the i’rosident ¢n
“the extent and growla of the power
of the five packers in meat and other
industries.”
The report says ‘“A fair considera
i tion of the course the five packers
. I@%e followed and the position they
have already reached must lead to the‘
conclusion that they threaten the free
dom of the market of the country’s
food industries and the byproduct in
dustries linked therewith. The meat
~ packer control of other foods did not
require long in developing.”
It is alleged that the “Big Five”
packesr,—Swift, Armour, Wilson, Mor
.ris and Cudahy companies jointly or
separately wield the controling in
.terest in five hundred and seventy
four companies; a minority interest in
ninety-five others; and an undetermin
ed interest in ninety-three; that they
produce or deal in seven hundred and
’,va-nt_v-five commodities, largely
[rood products.
' Continuing the report points out
that these concerns are interested in
banking, in transportation, in the most
important stock yards icompanies, the
livestoc]; trade papers, and many in
dustries based on the by-products
from the packing industry.
