normal purchases of meat by these
agencies will not be reduced.
The balance of the lower grades
of meat, which would represent the
major portion, resulting from this
type of marketing should be con
demned, tanked and such salvage
realized "as would be possible with
out serious Inconvenience to the us
ual demand for this type of product",
the committee urged.
The committee made no definite
recommendation as to the rate of a
processing tax. It Is estimated that
from $40,000,000 to $00,000,000 would
be required to carry out the emer
gency program.

have this business ruined or Injured
In order that one man may "make
twice the profit" he formerly made,
seems to us very unwise, unfair and
unjust to all of the other citizens of
Union county. May we ak that the
chamber of commerce take action to
stop this most unjust and Injurious
practice before It does any further
damage. It Is unfair to the producers
and the consumers of poultry here, to
have this cold storage stuff sold here
under the pretense that It is fresh
killed poultry. That is surely "bogus
advertising" as mentioned by Genera'.

Protests Against The
Importing of Fryers

and boasted to me that he was "mak
ing twice as much profit as could be
made 'by tbuylng chickens from the
producers here, In Lai Grande and vi
cinity." The result has been complete de
moralization of the poultry market
here. Dealers, who wish to help build
up a poultry and agricultural pros
perity here and are willing to pay
prices that will yield a profit to the
sorely pressed producers, cannot do
so because this Imported, cold stor
age stuff has "knocked the bottom"
out -of the market. The result is
that the poultry producers of Union
county have already suffered heavy
losses and stand to suffer much
heavier losses If this practice is to
continue, and this means a direct loss
to all of the business interests of La
Grande, and the only person bene
fitted is the dealer who boasts that
he can "make twice as much profit"
'by patronizing a Portlond packing
house as he can by patronizing the
poultrymen and farmers, upon whose
prosperity depends, to a large extent,
the prosperity of La Grande and Un
ion county.
I have been requested by the poul
try producers to take up with your
association, the seriousness of this
situation, and ask that you lend your
efforts to correcting the evil. It oecms
to us that there is something of far
greater importance in uranae man
making "twice the profit" for one
dealer, at the expense of the entire
poultry and farming Industry of tho
county. And the loss is shared by
every citizen of La Grande. I
As a general rule the people who
buy poultry, can afford to pay a fair ;
price for fryer chickens. No one bene-;
fits more than a few cents (except
the dealer who boasts his profits on
such sales Is doubled) while the ag- j
gregate loss to the farmers and poul- j
trymen of Union county runs into
largo sums. I
General Hugh S. Johnson, head of
the NRA, condemns, in the strongest
terms, "unfair price cutting and bo
gus advertising" and promises to hit
"those who practice these methods"
a "sock on the nose that will wake
them up." He urges that the people
"boycott" all those who resort to such
practices and we feel Justified It. ask
