caused by war conditions.

years, who are physically fit, are
eligible to membership, and enlistment
is voluntary The recruit must OBJ
tain parental consent and take the
oath Of service. The organization is
divided into three separate units, agri-
cultural, industrial and vocational. The
recruit may choose the unit in which
he wishes to serve.
After six weeks service in the Ag-
ricultural unit. the recruit is given a
badge of honor, bearing the Great
Seal of the United States. After ten
weeks of service in the Industrial
unit, a bronze badge bearing the
Great Seal of the United States is
awarded.
The Reserve recommends that all
boys now in school, remain there, and
use their spare time in preparing
themselves vocationally for some es-
sential occupation. A boy who thus
trains himself and goes into the Vo-
cational unit. is awarded the federal
bronze badge upon taking employ
ment.
The Boys Working Reserve in Kan
sas is under the direction of w. L.
Porter of Topeka The buttons for
Kansas boys will be sent out from

PACKERS RUN IT
Probe Reveals They Control
Junction r. r. Directorate.
Also They Control Real Estate
on Chicago Belt Line.

Washington. Dec. 22-Evidence to
show that persons connected with all
the large meat packers are represent
ed on the board of directors of the
Chicago Junction Railways company,
operating the terminal railroads of the
today at the federal trade commits
sion's investigation. Frederick w.
CroI, treasurer of Armour & Com
pany recalled to the stand today, testi-
fled also that the influence of the
packers extended to the real estate
said Directors Spoor. Thayer and
Fitzgerald, of the Chicago Junction
Railway company, held the central
manufacturing district property where
many large firms are located, as trus-
tees for the Chicago Junction rail-
roads and Union Stock Yards COM
pany.
Croll was asked whether the
Armour books showed all the COM
.panies in which the firm was inter-
ested. He said they did.
DO they show that Armour & Com
pany were interested in a large string
of plants thru Texas, Arkansas and
Tennessee which stood in the name of
Louis Ehle from 1907 to 1917" asked
Mr.. Heney.
Il don't remember"
Mr.. Heney read list of stock yards
in which Armour & Company were in
terested, the list including the yards at
Louisville, Denver. Fort Worth. jack
sonville. Jersey City, Pittsburg Sioux
City. St. Paul. st. Louis, Portland,
Ore, and Toronto.
What Probe Has Revealed.
Other developments of the inquiry
thus far are:
! First-Armour & Company owned
49, 500 shares of the Chicago Stock
Yards company, the Maine corporation
formed to take over the common stock
of the Chicago Junction railways and
Union Stock Yards company, a New
Jersey corporation which in turn had
bought all the interests from the pack
ers except the packing plant.
Two-Armour & Company also
owned $500 shares of stock in the
Chicago Junction railways and Union
Stock Yards company, also supposedly
not connected with the packers.
Three-Holdings of these stocks did
not appear on the Armour books, ac-
cording to one of the directors of the
company called as a witness.
Armour Co. Owned by Persons.
Four-Armour & Company is owned
by eight persons-all Armours-J.

Armour III, Mrs. p. A. Valentine Mrs.
Julianna A. Ferguson and Mrs. Mary
Armour Dunn.
Five-Frederick H. Prince, of Bos-
ton, whose banking firm handled the
affairs of the Chicago Stock Yards
company, wrote letter to Mr..
Armour, suggesting that the stock be
listed on the exchange and then 1--WE
shall do our best to depreciate the
value of the outstanding stock so as to
get the small holders to come in. The
guaranteed stock would commence to
draw dividends at 9 per cent COM
mencing November 1. My idea would
be, perhaps, that for the first six
months to have the New Jersey COM
pany only apay 8 per cent and the
other two per cent to be paid out of
+ the treasury of the Maine company
which would amount to but SOS, 000."

corporation and also the Jersey
corporation, thru Frederick w. Croll,

Armour.
