Excerpt from Statement of Mr. Edward Morris, President of Morris Company, Before the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the House of Representatives, in Washington This is the first time it has been my honor to appear before a Committee of Congress, and I am not informed as to your rules. I want to meet your views in all things, but if it is consistent with your rules of procedure, I will read a statement which I have prepared and then I will be very glad indeed to answer any and all questions which any member of the Committee may desire to ask. Ordinarily, I prefer to talk directly and extemporaneously, but this is an important and complex subject, and so I thought it best to reduce my thoughts to paper, so that you would in the first instance get my views in a connected manner. While the Federal Trade Commission in its sensational report is most unfair and unjust to the packers, treating them as criminals when there was no foundation in fact for such vicious treatment, still this Honorable Committee is in no way responsible for the report or any of the charges made by the Commission and as the bill before this Honorable Committee is deserving of candid consideration on its merits, I shall disregard personality insofar as I can avoid it, in order to discuss and analyze the bill and the report of the Commission, on which it rests, and which it is not only my privilege but my plain duty to do. But it will be my constant aim to discuss this matter with the great dignity due this Honorable Committee and yet with complete candor. The Big Packer. There is an apparent prejudice in certain quarters against the big packers, commonly referred to as the five big packers, Swift, Armour, Morris, Wilson and Cudahy.
