Will Prices Come Down
When Packers Unscramble?
•
“The consumer doesn’t care a snap of his fingers about the dissolution of a trust unless it means
lower prices or bettor quality, or both,” says the New York Globe, which sees “no reason to believe
that the withdrawal of the packers from all lines except meat and dairy products will benefit the con
sumer an iota”. On the other hand. Attorney-General Palmer telegraphs THE LITERARY DIGEST
that “The practical benefits to the public will come from opening up the channels of trade in food
lines to competing producers and distributers of food freed from the menace of the all-poyerful pack
ers organization”. The packers themselves, however, are not so confident about the effect on prices.
In answer to the “Digest’s” interrogation on this point Mr. J.- Ogden Armour telegraphs that “it is im
possible to forecast the probable effeet the dissolution will have upon the high cost of living”. Messrs.
Louis F. Swift. Thomas E. Wilson, E. A.'Cudahy, and Edward Morris practically agree with him in that
conclusion.
There is scarcely any other subject that so vitally concerns the public as that covered by the lead
ing article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for January 33rd. The “Digest” has secured statements from
the highest sources representative of every angle of opinion upon the recent decision of the packers to
withdraw from all lines except meat and dairy products.
