Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Government Control of Meat-Packing Industry, Vol. 2: Hearings Before the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the House of Representatives, Sixty-Fifth Congress, Third Session on H. R. 13324, January 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 1919
Mr. Colver. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, we had spoken of the very great extent to which the process had gone of bringing together in a relatively small roup the control not only of the meat-packing business but of relate and unrelated businesses. That was a sort of general statement. Specifically, I should like to say now that the number of companies which the Federal Trade C ommission's investigation has shown to be subsidiary to or affiliated with the five large packers is ready to be shown this morning. The statement is taken as approximate and subject to slight revision approximate in that the Federal Trade Commission does not preten to say that it has discovered all the concerns or companies or busi ness enterprises which are controlled either by total ownership or partial ownership, or contract for marketing, or taking the entire product of a company or otherwise.
