vision. saying that there were 8 two es-
sential points OF difference between the
two houses. one of these, he said, was
the omission by the House OF the Senate
provision requesting that the date OF in
! spection be placed on cans containing
meat, and the other the ttrnhsfe OF the
cost OF inspect lon from the packers to the
national treasllry. Speaking Of the lat

Why he asked. should tAe people pay
for the packers inspection and not the
packers themselves, and. agreeing with
Mr.. Proctor, said that the government
stamp would IS be M worth eight or ten /

ing at the matter in that light. the cost
of inspection would mot be a. burden, be-
cause the inspection would be great

Mr.. Lodge referred to recen tly pu b.
lished Interview with Nelson Morris .tiin,
which this great packer showed con-
tempt for writer's OF books, an. the Mas
sachusetts Senator said the writing OF a
/ book brought about the present situa-
ation, and 1t may occur tols the packers
that. ..".thes writing OF books is not SO con-
8temptible. The men responsible for the
Sneat packing and Standard OH monopo-
slies. said MIR. Lodge, have done more to I'D y
vance socialism, anarchism, unrest and
States than all OF the socialists in the
