Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Statement of Mr. Edward Morris, President of Morris and Company, Before the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry of the Senate of the United States With Reference to the Kendrick Bill, Which Provides for the Licensing of the Packing Industry
In the distribution and sale of the finished product the packer is dealing with a highly perishable commodity. Fresh meats will keep only for a short time, and, there fore, must be sold on the open market for the best price obtainable.
Because everybody is a consumer, the packing business is extremely sensitive to criticism. Consequently any considerable agitation against the packers is re?ected in less consumption, and this in turn means less demand for the live meat animal, and a lessened demand means loss to the producer.
