 Further along in his speech Senator Warren said, in reply to the statement by Senator Carter that if the inspec- tiOn fees are placed on the packers, the consumers and the cattle raisers both will have to pay them. The senator from Montana in describing what may happen with the charge for all the inspection expenses, reminds me of the old story of the miller in ancient times when every grist of grain was tOlled at the neighboring custom grist mill for the expense of grinding The miller had nine sons, and on

blast enough dynamite TO have
blown up the whole neighborhood.
The flames from the gas main
shot into the air to the level of the
roof of a five-story building on the
corner. which caught fire.
The names of some of the injured
are:
Lawrence O'NeiI, foreman, 215

pletely taken by surprise when the
blast tore up a section of the street,
Just outside the curb, and shattered
the main.

oped the fact that SlaytOn's enlistment
would have expired on December 80.
