WILL INVESTIGATE PACKERS' PROFTS Winistry of Agriculture of Argen- tina Will Institute Inquiry Buenos Aires, Jan, 3.—An exhaus- tive inquiry into the workings of the meat packing companies in Argentina, and the question of thelr profits, has been instituted by the ministry of agriculture. Although this Inquiry is not stated to be the outcomle of the recent “antl- trust” campaign organized by a con- siderable number of breeders and grazers, it is viewed with satisfaction by the leaders of that movement. The late severe slump in cattle val- ues in the Buenos Aires markets, where prices have fallen with startling !suddenness to a level not touched for twenty years, has caused an acute re- crudescence of the livestock crisis of two years ago, when the fall in prices was responsible for a strong ‘“anti- trust” agitation. The present slump has brought about a renewal of the onsldught upon the packing houses on the part of a growing section of the | breeders of the country, and of others whose businesses are closely linked up with the pastoral industry. This group, reinforced L | portant livestock societies, recently |held a meeting in Bucnos Aires at | which the principal speaker, Pedro | Pages, vehemently assailed the “meat |trust,” in other words the British and | American packing houses, as the main of the phenomenal fall in Mr. Pages denounced the packers as ‘“robbers” who, unfor- tunately, were unlikely to fall out {over a division of the spoils, since | “most of the spoils already have been divided by them.” The Sociedad Rural, the representa- tive agricultural society of Argentina, which has never identified itself with partisan campaigns, was not repre- sented at this meeting, but the subse- quent election of Mr, Pages to the presidency of that body is expected to strengthen the position of the “anti- trust” group in its opposition to the existing regulations under which for- eign meat packing companies are al- lowed to operate. The report of the ministry of agri- culture’'s commission of inquiry, which is charged with a thorough investiga- tion of the extent of the packers' profits, is awaited with considerable interest. many im- [Dahlberg Will Leaves Examination Next Week | Entire Estate to Wife For Police Captaincy A meeting of the civil service boaid | will be held Iriday evening at for the captaincy in the police de- rtment, now vacant as the result of Capt.
