Meat Packers Are
Hurt by Comment
Say that Committee Investigating
High Prices Did Not Act in the
Best of Faith.

CHICAGO. Oct IS. - The report Of
the executive committee Of the National
Meat Packers association. which met In
annual convention here today intimates
that the select committee OF the United
States senate, when It met TO investigate
the nigh cost OF living, did not act In the
pest faith In examining the packers
The report says that while there have
been some repettions OF the usual slurs
and unfounded charges against the packers,
they lacked the venom OF previous years
and the opinion is expressed that a belief
Is growing with the public that the pack
ers' as class, are doing Legitimate
business
President Charles Rohe OF the associa-
tion' In his address, said tina. the last year
Ia many respects had been unsatisfactory
TO packers, owing TO the high price OF live
STOCK. 1t is undoubtedly a fact" he de-
CARED that all packers and meat dealers
have been doing business without profit
during the year"

SHAM NIGHT RIDERS
SAVE BROOM CORN
Bear Buyers Frightened Of
In Oklahoma After Some
Excitement.

GUTHRIE, okla, Nov. z5-The re-
ported formation OF a night riders -
organization IN the broom-corn district
Of Oklahoma has attracted attention 10
the Importance Of the broorn-eo-n IN
dUstry in this State.
The night rider demonstration now
appears TO have been something OF a
Joke, but it served 10 scare the buyers,
who have been trying TO bear the
broom-corn market In order to 5r7v Al
a lower price
The growers story Of the ALLEGED. raid
Is that the band Of might riders con-
sisted of twenty-eight boys, who had
been drilled for a week by members Of
the farmers union for the purpose OF
frightening the buyers into raising their
price for brush which the farmers had
for sale They EoIemuly fled through
the streets Of Shattuck and back again.
and a farmer who was next to the
game permitted thirty bales OF broom
corn 20 be cut open and scattered about
10 add to the effect
Omen IN Box Of Matches.
A box Of matches was also left on his
place, together with q letter telling him
not to try to collect the broom corn or
his property would be destroyed by IRE.
There were 100 OF so carloads Of brush
piled on the ground around ShzttucFz
awaiting shipment, and the next night
every buyer had guards surrounding his
pile Of broom CORR armed with every
kind OF weapon. from an automatic rifle
10 carving knife During the night
TepOrt. was received that there were 100
members Of the farmers union lust
across the river, all mounted and that
they were getting ready to charge. but
Shattuck claims 20 be one Of the
greatest broom corn markets in the
world Western Oklahoma and the
Texas Panhandle are devoting more and
more attention each year 10 the raising
OF broom corn. and seem likely 10 take

Resists the Drought.
Most Of Oklahorna-s broom corn Is
raised in the northwestern part of the
State, IN Beaver, Texas. woodward,
Major. Roger Mills. and Ellis counties
Al Of these counties are in the belt
where the rainfall is rather s.arCe,. and.
with the possible exception OF kaffr
corn and milo maize, broom corn has
better drought resisting qualities than
any other crop
The rainfall this year has been below
the average. but the broom corn crop
has been good and the acreage mater
tally increased from last year BY reason
