DEMAND INVESTIGATION
OF MEAT PACKING FIRMS
Live Stock Interests Appear
Before House Judiciary
Body Tuesday

WASHINGTON, April 4.-FurtheE de-
mand for federal investigation of the
meat packing industry, with special ref
erence to alleged price fixing, was made
by representatives of livestock interests,
who again appeared before the house
judiciary subcommittee today.
The hearings are on a resolution Of
fered by Representative Borland, OF
Missouri, providing for an inquiry by
the federal trade commission to deter
mine whether the packers are violating
the antitrust laws.
Among today's witnesses were former
Governor Stubs, of Kansas, and Ed
ward f. Burke, OF Omaha
The producers demand an inquiry by
an inquisitorial body with unlimited
powers of subpoena, despite the pack
ers' offer to submit to an investigation
bv the department of agriculture. They
object to a departmental inquiry on the
ground that 1t would be without power
TO subpoena witnesses and compel testi-
rnony. The packers plan has been COM
municated to the department.

sent the following cablegram to Presi-

of independence calls a decent respect
to the opinions of mankind in violation
of every principle of humanity, moral

monitions, circumstances and solemn

an assassin in the night, treacherously,
without notice, has again struck down
unarmed merchant and passenger ships,
sending scores of helpless men, women
and children to their deaths.
On behalf of humanity we demand
that this intolerable situation shall
cease. On behalf of our fellow citi-
zens murdered and MANNED on the

test against continuance of diplomatic
