LODGE ROASTS PACKERS
Says TheirHistory Eas Been
Utter Defiance of LAW
and Public Opinion

Washington. June 21-The meet in
spection provision Of the agricultural
appropriation bill was the subject in
the Senate. The question came up on a
motion by Senator Proctor to grant the
conference requested by the House
and speeches were made by Messrs.
Proctor, Beveridge and Long against
some features of the house amendment
and by Senator Warren In opposition
to drastic legislation.
Discussing the group Of men in con-
troll OF the packing industry, Mr.. Lodge
said their history had been utter de-
nance of law and public opinion. He
referred to a recently published inter-
view with Nelson Morris in which this
great packer showed contempt for
writer's OF books. The Massachusetts,
senator said the writing Of book
brought about the recent situation and
it may occur to the packers that 'the
writing of books is not so contempt
BILE"
The men responsible for the meat
packing and Standard Oil monopolies.
said Mr. Lodge, have done more TO
advance socialism, anarchism. unrest
and unwholesome conditions in the
United States than all the socialists IN
the world He said the people would
resent having their food tampered
with and made sport o. mere insen-
safe greed for money and that they are
rightly insisting that these packers be
put on the same basis as manufactur-
ers OF other food whose products are
inspected
Senator Warren defended the pack
ers and denounced as simply mon
struus' the proposition Of Messrs.
Beyeridge aud Proctor that they should
be required to advertise their bust
ness in a prescribed way. He also
said that the legislation l. aimed at
the farmers and stock growers and
contended that instead of taxing them
and the packers for the proposed in
spection. the entire country should
pay the expense.
Mr. Warren had not been speaking
long when the morning hour expired,
rendering it necessary to displace the
appropriation bill with the canal bill.
