MAINE SENATOR DEFENDS RIB PACKERS:
DENOUNCES CONTROL LEGISLATION
Special to the Nugget >*V the Associated Press
WASHINGTON. Aug. 21-*-Senatoi Fernald. Republican, of .Maine,
attacked what he termed '‘the governmental tendency toward assuming
control of the business of the nation" during the course of an address to
the Senate today.
Senator Fernald, who is himself one- of the leading packers of canned
goods in the New ICnglund states, warmly defended the? packing Interests
and referred to the proposed legislation for the supervision of the packing
industry ns “stifling” and "throttling.” •
The Kenyon-Kendricks l»ill , which proposes the regulation of the
packers, is an iniquitous measure which will result in serious harm to the
packing industry. The tendency of the bill, he says, is to force the smaller
packing eoneerns out of business by reducing them to a profit hasis too low
to enable them to compete with the great packing firms.
The inclination of the government to take control of the industry
is, lie said, bound to result in irreparable harm.
