(Bpecial Food Expert of The Evening World.) fhe Evening World nearly one year ego demanded the enactment of con- structive legislation by Congress to control the large beet packers and heck their monopoly of the subsist- ence of the entire United States. The publictty given the methods the large peekers are using in slowly but eure- ly Increasing their grasp on the Na- thon’s foodstuffs resulted in an in- vestigation and a condemnation of their methods not only in the United States but in Engiand and Australia, In spite of all this noise there was not one constructive statute enacted te balt the moropolistic trend of these large beef packers. With the Mberation of the surplus army foods, , Which were given the American oon- wamers at the request of The Bve- ning Word, the large packers could mot #0 effectiv rifle the consumer's pocketbook. but just as soon as these} stitutionn for the extension of the| army foods disposed of the large | banking business.
