The Meat Investigation Committee of the Argentine Senate ordered the arrest of Richard Tootel, manager of the Anglo-Packing Company, owned by the Vestey interests of London. Tootel was charged with abolishing the company's cost accounting office and refusing to inform the committee's accountants how the company estimated its costs. The committee also alleged that he admitted burning records and sending books abroad. The Supreme Court upheld the Government's right to inspect the books of foreign companies, and sustained fines of 5000 pesos upon each of seven English and American meat packing firms.
