Notwithstanding this method of

sell food any cheaper than the regu-

unions.
The bakers union, a strong or
ganization, was the first to revolt
against a condition which kept wait

rants have been declared unfair and

The cooks union has called all its
members out of the Weeghman
stores, and the unions threaten to
pull out the bakers and cooks in any

wished, striking others with the po-

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 22-One OF
the most important and interesting
cases which is to come up for con-
sideration at the quarterly meeting

here today, is the petition for pardon
of, Fred Wilson, jr., now serving life

boy and his father, Fred Wilson, were
charged with having committed the
murder. They We're brought to JET

kept in jail for long time. The case
was transferred to Madison and faith
er and son were sentenced to life i'm

alone was guilty Of the crime, but his
statement met with no credence. 1t is
understood that the petition of young

Rancho Into Small farms
Compel Cattle Raising

Chicago, Sept. 22.-America is fac.
ing Il meat famine.
The American Meat Packers con
vention at Chicago Monday devoted
the entietday tpconsidera ton of the
situation.
The report OF the executive COM
mittee declared the conditions "the
most precarious that the country has
faced at any time in our history"
a dozen speakers at the convention
agreed that unless drastic measures
We're taken the United States would
be in the grip of meat famine in a
short length Of time.
The horrors OF meat and bread
riots were pictured by the packers.
They disavowed their own responsible
ity for the present high cost of meat
declaring that they themselves were
unable to get enough beef to supply
the demand.
They emphasized the. immense de-
crease in the meat supply during the
last ten years. Big ranches of the
west they declared no longer raise
enough beef cattle to supply the de-
mand for meat. For years farmers
and ..anchers have sold their calves
for veal till there is total learth OF
beef cattle.
Conditions bad as they are now
: can only 3ggros worse, declared the
packers unless farmers can be per.
suaded to start; raising beef cattle
and stop Immediately selling OF their
calves.
Speakers suggested as preventive
measure that the big Western ranches
are cut into small farms and each far
mei' pledged to raise at least two
beef cattle each year for market.
Only by the strictest economy de-
clared the packers would they be
able to avert famine within the
year with the supply of meat on hand.
A fresh supply OF beef must be on
hand they stated or actual want will
exist next fall. s. x,.~

FEAR POWERS
WILL BOYCOTT
:. UNITED STATES
State Finance Committee Sees
Danger in Tariff Penalties
Under the New Law

Washington. Sept 22.-Apprelcn
sion that the democratic tariff a3il
would lead foreign nations to IMPOSE
tariff penalties against the United
States as soon as the new law goes
into effect caused the administration
and senate leaders to plan the intro
duction of a joint resolution in con
gress Monday, making specific pro
relations with all countries until
vision for continuation OF existing
resident Wilson has time to fnego'
tiate new =caHe agreements.
The seriousness of the situation
that confronts the administration was
Impressed upon Chairman Simmons,
Of the senate finance committee by
state department officials. .%
They pointed out that trade rela-
tons established by President Tafts
proclamations under the Payne-Al-
drich law of 1909 terminate when the
new law becomes effective and t.,-.s
United States will then face the pos
sibility of having higher tariff rates
applied against it's exports by many
countries.
While the tariff law gives tae pres.
dent authority to negotiate trade and
reciprocity treaties, it also requires
him to apply special penalty rates
against any countries discriminating
against the United States.
Senate conferees on the tariff late
today won their fight for a heavier
tax on big incomes when the house
members conference agreed to ac-
cept senate amendments increasing
the tax rate to a maximum of per
cent on incimes over $50o,0OO.
At the end of the days considera-
ton of the income tax the commit
tee so nearly completed the section
that concluding details may be work
ed out by subcommittee of the con-
ferees.
