Raise More Meat,
Wilson's REM edy
For High Prices
Immigrants Flock to City and Be-
come Consumers, Not Producers,
Says Secretary.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-''Undoubtedly If
the farms were raising more meat the price
would be reduced" said Secretary Wilson
OF the Department of Agriculture today, in
commenting upon the widespread boycott
against meat products. There are not
enough people on the farms raising food,
and too many are going to the towns to be
fed.
'Three-quarters of million OF people,"
said Secretary Wilson. ARE coming to the
United States annually from abroad. They
do not go to the farms, where they might
help raise food for the nation. Farmers
cannot get help. The foreigners go to the
cities, and they have to be fed, The cities
produce nothing to eat although they do
produce something 20 drink
Have you any plan for inducing people
to go to, the farms, where they may help
to raise food?" the secretary was asked.

they get hungry" said the secretary, after

MISSOURI AFTER PACKERS
Attorney General Files Information
Against Nine Firms.
CHARGE CONTROL OF MEAT PRICE
Petition Alleges Combination TO Fix
Amount Paid for "Pnclkers,"
Live Stock and Dairy
Supplies.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan. 22.-(Spe-
cial Telegram )-Information against nine
OF the big packing house companies, alleg-
ing that they are operating in violation OF
the antitrust laws of the state, and ask.
ing that an examiner be appointed by the
supreme court for the purpose of taking
testimony was filed with Judge Leroy b.
Valiant Of the supreme court by Attorney
General Elliott w. Major shortly before
o'clock. No further steps will be taken In
the premises before Monday.
But ono OF the companies named in the
information Is Missouri corporation, the
st. Louis Dressed Beef and Provision com
pany. The others donng business in Mis-
souri, under a license as foreign corpora
tions are; Armour & Co. OF New Jersey
Morris g. Co. of New Jersey, Morris g. Co
Of Maine. Swift and Company Of Illinois
Swift and Company Of West Virginia
Hammond Packing company Of Illinois
Cudahy Packing company of Illinois
Schwarszchild & Suzberger company OF
New York
Under the Missouri law the attendance OF
nonresident witnesses can be compelled
under the penalty Of throwing the attacked
corporation out of court and adjudging It
guilty OF all charged.
Far-ReRchinE Agreement.
The petition alleges that the corporations
named have entered into an unlawful un-
derstanding with each other to control the
price paid by dealers in packers and
other purchases OF all live stock, cattle,
hogs. sheep, poultry butter, eggs and
dairy products and to fix and regulate the
price to be paid by retail butchers and
wholesale dealers for all dressed pork,
beef, cured meats and lard manufactured,
slaughtered and offered for sale or to be
sold In the state of Missouri, and to regu-
late. fix and control the price to be paid
by all retail and wholesale dealers for but
ter, eggs, poultry, game dairy products,
fertilizers, greases and numerous by
products.
The petition concludes with a prayer for
the appointment OF an examiner and that
power be conferred upon the attorney gem
eral to compel the attendance of witnesses
and also that the examiner be empowered
to compel witnesses to answer questions,
produce books, papers and all else neces-
sary to complete inquiry.
In 1902 the state OF Missouri, through it's
attorney general, started similar proceed
ings to those Of today against the packers
and succeeded in convlcting them of viola
tions Of the antitrust law. A fine Of Sc 1000
was at that time imposed against the lead
ing packers.

Burkett alks
Before Com mittee
Nebraska Senator Thinks Irrigation
Homesteaders Will Be Given
Patents.
(From a staff Correspondent.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Senator Burkett said tonight that
he had every reason to believe his bill
granting patents to homesteaders under
irrigation provisions would become a law
during the present session of congress. He
frankly admitted that there might be a
modification made In the measure and he
rather looks fr this, but the general prin-
ciples of the bill he thought would be kept
intact.
The senator presented cogent reasons to-
day to the irrigation committee of the SEN
ate why his bill should pass. He urged
on the committee that homesteaders under
an irrigation contract had bought land
with a definite stipulation as to the time
water would be provided. But the govern
ment had failed to make good, and In con-
sequence homesteaders could not make a
living. He insisted that the government
should make good for its failure to provide
water In the specified time by issuing
patents to those who had in good faith
settled on the land.
The committee gave close attention to the
senator. realizing that a new condition
confronted them. While they recognized
the strength of Senator ,Burkett's argument,
II 10 uIueTSlOOu tne committee VIII not go
as far as Senator Burkett's bill, but may
give the right of assignment to the home-
steader or else permit him to move away
until water is provided.
Senator Burkett also addressed the COM
mittee on behalf OF the bond issue OF
900 for irrigation purposes as recon,
mended by President Taft. and he believes
the committee will report the bill favorably.
If there is anything in persuasion, Ad-
miral Schley will go to Lincoln this year
as a guest Of the Epworth assembly. sena.
tor Burkett presented the invitation and
ursed the admiral to accept. Admiral
Sckley hesitated and said he would like to.
go, but there were reasons, etc, and then
finally said he would take the invitation

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.-Recommenda-

the Improvement OF rivers, harbors and
canals. based upon Investigations that haye
been conducted IN this and foreign coun-
tries for a couple OF years, will be made
to congress by the United States National
Waterways commission in a report to be

The one important question upon which
the commission split, It is understood, is
to whether or not there should be federal
control over rates on railroads competing
with transportation lines on inland water
ways.
Upon the final vote, II is understood, the
large majority OF the commission members
favored laws TO give added power TO the
Interstate Commerce commission, and the
report, 1t was learned today, will voice the
opinion Of the majority on this question.
