San Fraanchxo, Dec. 18. (By mail)
A complete investigation of the
charges of D.P.Eastman, represent
ative of large Mexican cattle inter
acts, that because of the control of
America meat business by a "clique
of packers," he cannot market
50,000 head of Mexican steers in
this country, or sell 2,000,000
pounds of dressed Mexican beef
■will be made by the Federal Food
Administrator for California.
“If Eastman’s charge? are found
to be true, they are of the highest
importance to the country,” said
Merritt. We will sift them to- the bot
tom and get all the facts.
Merritt’s statement was made In
•'i>e presence of t«o re, u crv.i&tivos
of the Butcher’s Board of Trade,
who had called on him to confer re
garding the proposal for a uni
form closing day for retail butch
ers in connection with the meatless
Tuesday now universally observed.
The men were R.N.Weis3, secre
tary, and A. Shapiro, member of
the executive committee.
Earlier in the day John McKeon,
president of the Butcher’s Board,
of Trade, explained Eastman’s de
lema by saying Mexican beef was
undesirable.
“The meat is black, tough and
stringy,” said McKeon. “Mexican
■steers must be fattened locally be
fore they aare tit for slaughtering.
The high price of feed makes their
fattening here prohibitive.”
This phase of the question was
taken up with Merritt by Weiss
and Shapiro “Nevertheless,” said
Merritt, “Eastman’scharges merit
thorough investigation by the Food
Administration, and we > are going
to make it. If food fit for human
consumption, in such quantities
as Eastman says he has offered in
this state, cannot be made avail
able to the consumer we will
find out why.” When informed of
the statements of McKeon regard
ing the inferiority of Mexican beef,
Eastman said:
‘ I have withdrawn my offer to
supply 50,000 head of cattle
but I still have 3,000,000 pounds
of prime and medium quality
dressed beef at 11 cents a pound.
If the butchers say there is any
difference between pfime beef that
comes from Mexico, Canada or the
United States, they are saying
what any cattleman knows is not
true.
“I am willing to have any beef
expert take a quarter of my beef
and a quarter of beef grown in
California and see if he can find
any difference in the color or qual
ity. Prime beef is prime beef, no
matter where it comes from .” The

point raised by Eastman was dis
cussed with interest by San Fran
cisco householders. The consense
of local opinion is tha t with the
government instituting a universal
meatless Tuesday to rthe solie pur
pose of conserving t he nation's
meat supply and with the public
being educated to eat whale meat
for the same purpose, Mexican beef
should not be kept out of the
market even if the butcher’s con
tention is true that it is inferior to
domestic beef.
