Agitation Against the Packers Will Re

ASTORIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, D. C. June 13. The attack on
the meat packers, led by the President,
continues to develop peculiar Interest.
Stodcraisera have commenced asking
themselves why it is that the packing
business should be so centralized. Texas
stockmen who have been shipping by
rail to Omaha, St, Joe and Chicago, have
been forced to ask themselves why Texas
meat could not be packed at a Texas
seaport, and put directly aboard a deep
sea vessel, obviating the haul north and
thence to the seaboard when meat i
ultimately exported. Western stockmen

hundreds of miles to eastern plants, and

then receive large quantities of packed
meats at their homes, involving costly
shipments both ways.
America's export meat business is
; almost exclusively in the hands of the
J packers known as the trust. Whether
the economics and developments of these
packers have made the export trade pos
sible, or they, as leaders in the business,
have fallen heir to a business natural
conditions would otherwise have distri
buted among many packers doing busi
ness on more limited scale, cannot be
determined. Many stockmen believe that
there ia nothing in the packing business
which necessitates operation on an enor
mous scale, in attaining best results.
Following this though, they argue that
a multitude, of small plants, contributing
their select export products to the for
eign trade, and working on a margin giv-
