10 | ARGENTINE PUBLIC SCORES Bll PROFITS Stagfiation of Meat Industry Cause of Serions Thonght Buonos Alres 13.—Stagnation in the meat industry and a severe drop in the price of i- pitated sponsibility of the packing the controlled by Sepr. live stock has pr public discusston of the r house con- all of an or K- cerns for situation, nearly which British ing house are Ameri ipital. Charges that the T or plants, “frigorifico have been making exagxerated profits | have been aired in C » and a bill has been introduced, fostered by the Argarian league to prevent the packers from buying cattle at less than a mini- mum price Theso alleged also credited by British minister to Argentina, with be- ing one of the principal causes of the doprassion, srding to the govern- ment organ, La Epoea. He s quoted as having made this statement to For- elgn Ministor Pueyrredon when the latter asked him to request his gov- ernment to take some measures to “4mprove’’ the price of meat In Eng- land, which is Argentina's principal market and s roported to be over- stocked. Mr. Barclay agreed to trans- mit thy request but pointed out that the British government could exert but littlo fufluence over the ‘frigorificos.” Tho Agrarian league, In support of the bill to establish a minimum price for live stock, declared in a note sent to Congress that “tho meat trade was being made the object of undue abuse and speculation by the “frigorifico trust/ " The note called attention to alleged profits made by two packing concerns controlled by a Chicago pack- ing house which, It says, earned 93.28 per cent. and 65 per cent. in one year on thelr capital registered here of $22,600,000 and $22,988,000 gold, re- spectively. The note also called at- tention to similar restrictive measures adopted in the United States, Canada, Australin and New Zealand, and to the prohibition against the establish- ment of American packers in the two latter countries. On the other hand, a local official of the packing concerns, in a statement published in La Nacion, disputes the figures of the Agraran league, saying that the concern which was reported As having earned 93.28 per cent. in tact only mad net profit last year of 10.67 per cent. He stated that the bigher figure was arrived at by adding the accumulated reserves to the year's earnings and that a stmilar proceed- ing was carried out with the other concern referred to. Commenting upon the proposed law the oMcial stated that the prices pald locally were strictly in accordance with forelgn demand for Argentine meat and could not be controlled hare. Government suporvisioniof the pro- fits of the “frigorificos,” the establish- ment of a great national frigorifico or the expropriation of one of the ex- isting plants for the purpose, are un- der consideration for recommendation to the government, by the Argentine Rural soclety. Opposition to such measures was expressed at a meeting of 200 business men to form an “organization for the detense of Argentina production.” They tavored combined action between the livestock raisers and the “frigori- ficos”” for mutual éerense against low prices. excessive profits are Fruit cargoes in vessels have been preserved by means of forced air ventilation.

They have formed a committee to see that the harbor is cleansed of this peril. Great pools have collected in many of the harbor basins, and wooden pters have become soaked with the oil Underwriters and firemen here remark that water would be of little good in fighting such a fire, as it would make the burning oil spread farther. Many plans for disposal have been offered. One would ask Congress to make appropriations for enforcement of tha statute, prohibiting the casting of troublesome ofl upon the waters. Another would request the city to en- force the ordinance providing barges to carry oft the oil How to dispose of the waste even should it all be poured into barges is another problem. Commercially it has little value, it is said, and it would be uscless to dump it at sea, even so tar out as fifty miles. For the oil would como back, just like the cata people try to get ri® of by taking to the country. Shipping men, however, expreas the belief that a profitable means of utilizing the waste will be found. Representatives of the national board of fire undeswriters have in- formad the committee that the prob- lem of eliminating similar danger in Eurapean harbors had interested the governments of Great Britain, France and Jtaly. and that they were work- ing on possible solutions. The washed democracy of New York also has sent up a wail of protest against dirty habits the steamships have gotten into since oil largely sup- planted coal as fuel. At some of the bathing beaches the sticky waste has become so thick that bath houses fur- nish bathers with kerosene to wipe it off their bodies after a session in the surf. Bathers at these points complain that they leave the water much dirtier than when they entered.
