WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Rallroad and marketing conditions are rapidly driving American meat producers out of business and menacing the country with a meat famine, There is no shortage of hogs or cattle to-day, but 7% per cent, of the fattened cattle ready for the market on Jan. 1 are still held in feeding yards because there are no cars to ship them to Chicago, This was testimony to-day before the Senate Agriculture Committee of A. Sykes, Ida Grove, Ia., President of the Corn Belt Meat Producers’ As- sociation, The Committee to-day | opened an investigation of the whole | farm situation, with particular at- tention to grain, meat and labor con- “Patriotism alone is keeping thou- 0 livestock busi-| ness,” said Sykes. “Conditions as they are now will ruin feeders, In Towa, Ilinots, Eastern Nebraska and South Dakota, Missouri and Minnesota, live- pounds on thelr cattle because of in- ability to ship them. In addition, large quantities of grain are being wasted by being fed to hogs and cat- tle which were ready for market weeks ago.” | Bykes declared the Government “Is ) losing the confidence of the farmers” because farmers and livestock pro- ducers have been given no voice in the Food Administration. Farmers’ interests were put in the hands of a lawyer, Sykes declared, Sykes told the committe that when | cars are made available to ship meat to market packers will cut the price| to the producer, giving Increased ceipts as the excuse. “But the price will not be reduced to thé consumer," Sykes added, “Tt livestock men whose patriotism costing them all it has taken them years to accumulate are not going to be burned a second time; they'll get out of the business stock farmers aro losing $2 a hundred | ! , , ’ | re | 000, and the total of American credits to the Allied Nations to §4,784,400,000, SUGAR PROFITEERS BECOME WHOLESALERS OVER NIGHT Federal Investigator Says License | System Aids Them and Hurts Legitimate Merchant. “The east side is rotten to the core with profiteers in sugar who have be- | Bq come wholesalers over night," #ald P.
