MEAT PACKERS
PROTEST TODAY
Will Confer at State Depart
ment About Grievances
Against British.
NOT TO STARVE ENGLAND
Deny Rumor that They Will Refuse
to Sell to British-Armour
Counsel Here.

An engaEement was made at the State
Department yesterday for representa-
tives of the chief meat packing firms OF
the United States to discuss with officials
today the grievances which the meal
shippers have against the British gov
eminent on account OF detentions ano
seizures of American meat cargoes.
The packers here were Joined last night
by Alfred r. Urion. chief counsel fol
Armour & Co, who has been represent
ing the packing interests in London for
several months. He came to this coun.
try specially for tomorrow's conference
at the State Department, and will re.
turn TO London on Saturday.
While the packers consider they have
serious ground for complaint against the
British government, they last night re-
pudiated reports to the effect that In re-
taliation the American firms would re-
fuse to sell meat to Great Britain.
Those in Washington for the confer
ence with State Department officials
are. beside Mr. Meeker and Mr.. Urion.

Against OBTAINING Meat.
State Department officials are not vet
informed as to just what the packers
wish to take up with them. but it was
indicated yesterday that the chief COM
plant of the packers and the point on
which they will ask for the support
of this government. is the British prac-
tice of OBTAINING meat cargoes on sus-
picion. while their representatives in
neutral countries make Investigations as
to the consignees.
In this point the State Department is
inclined to support the packers. Of
flcials have reached the conclusion that
it is not lawful for the British to hold
cargoes several weeks on mere sus-
picion. and hold them in port until they
have had time to make investigation and
satisfy themselves as to the bona fides
of the cargo and consignee. 1t is prob
able that if no special action is taken
by the department on this point 1t will
form one of the chief contentious in the
next note sent to the British govern
ment.

Of the delegates in Washington to the
effect that some of them were not enthu-
siastic about the conference because they
suspected IL had been called largely to
promote the commercial interests Of the
United States.
Cuban Delegate Speaks.
The opening session of the conference
brought many evidences of friendship on
the part of the participating governments
toward one another and of enthusiasm
at the prospects of the conference. The
highest pitch of enthusiasm came, how
ever. when DIR. Pablo Des Vernine y
Galdos, delegate from Cuba, spoke with
feeling of the good which the United
States had done for Cuba. What the
United States had done for Cuba, said
he, ought to be taken as pledge of her
friendship for all the nations of this
hemisphere. There was prolonged ap-
plause on the part Of the delegates and
the American officials present. President
Wilson clapped his hands in approval,
and Secretary of the Navy Daniels. who
sat upon the rostrum near the Presi-
dent. ratified his cane upon the floor.
Late In the afternoon committee as
signments were announced and some in
formal speeches on practical subjects
were made by American delegates. Frank
A. Sandernp. vice president OF the Nd
tionaI City Bank, said that the tremen-
dous amount OF reserve money now in
the national and State banks has created
an enormous capacity for the expansion
of loans. The United States, he said.
as a result of the passage of the Federal
reserve act, is now in an uneXcelled po-
sition for extending great loans abroad.
I'VE can probably expand loans two
or three billions" said Mr.. Vanderlip.
1--WE may not be in a state of prepared
ness for war. but we are in state OF
preparedness to expand loans abroad

SYRUP Of FIGS FOR

It is cruel to force nauseatinq,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at Jour childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on castor oil. calomel, %cathartic3.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides' are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
OF mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a t~easpoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of california Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
Of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
ON each bottle. Adv.
