But, inasmuch as these “Ice boxes on wheels,” as one of the pack ers terms them, are the conveyances which bring our beefsteak to town, we may assume that we have a certain concern about them. If they have any thing to do with the price of the beef steak our concern is a deep one. It is maintained by some that these C£u:s give the packers who now own them an unfair advantage over com petitors. This is stoutly denied by the packers, who offer as proof the fact that they pay the same freight rates as any shipper; and they assert that the only advantage they enjoy is in being aWe to get enough cars for theii needs by furnishing them themselves instead of depending upon the rail roads to do so. In this they are backed up by a report of the Interstate Com merce Commission, made after an In vestigation of all privately owned cars, to the effect that there were no unfair practices and that a radical change would adversely affect both shippers and the public. While not opposing, in principle, railroad ownership of refrigeratoi cars, the packers maintain that there are not enough of these cars to go around and that the legislation in question makes no provision for insur ing that the railroads shall furnish them in sufficient number. On the other hand, to pool their cars and take chances of getting what happened to be available, would seriously handi cap the distribution of their perishable meat products. The stream of ship ments from the packing plants would be blocked, which in turn would block the buying of live stock, and the in dustry, which is founded on a basis of rapid distribution, would be badly muddled. In fhese contentions pro and con, there' are three parties whose interests are at stake—^the packers, their com petitors and the public. Only one of these parties could gain a possible ad vantage if the packers’, cars were taken away from them, viz, the pack ers’ competitors. The cars are now admittedly handled on an economic and efficient basis, and no, change is justified unless unfairness is definitely and absolutely proved—which would be in absolute contradiction to the re port that the Interstate Commerce Commission has already rendered on the subject. The public would pay the bill for inefficiency in the packing in dustry, and it has no desire to pay this bill in order to help a few of the pack ers’ competitors. mm.
