tails Of the offer of the Chicago pack
ers to throw the whole packing in
dustTy into the hands of the govern
ment, the packers to act in effect as
agents Of the government, receiving
an equitable return" on their in
Vestment. J. Ogden Armour and Ed
ward Cudahy as spokesman for the
packers made the offer to place their
81, 900, 900, 00O-a-year business at the
disposal of the council of national
defense and plans Of the council are
to be announced at an early date.
A Chicago man in touch with the
American Federation of Labor execU-
tive council in Washington says food
control is being watched by the A.
F. Of L. as equally important with
wage and working conditions while
the war lasts.
"As we understand it, the offer of
the Chicago packers was a good deal
more radical than generally under
stood, said this labor man. They
are asking the U. S. government, if it
seems practical, to fix a minimum
and maximum price for all meat pro-
ducts. The effect of this would be
that the government would open the
account books, make valuations,
estimate operating costs, and on the
basis of information so gained would
then fix prices of steaks, chops, sau-
sages and soup bones by much the
same method the government now
establishes freight and passenger
rates on railroads.
THE contact of the government
with the packing industry would then
be as intimate as it is with the rail-
roads. If the workers organized and
presented the solid front the railroad
workers did, then something like the

many. and the disease is spreading
rapidly, according to a speech recent
ly made in the reichstag by Socialis,
Member Hoffman. which has been re-
ceived here In full.
Brief portions OF the speech were
received by the press In this coun.
try recently. The full text showed
that Hoffman charged that the rich
were getting the fats. while the poor
had none: the government was ac'
tually boarding sausages with which
the poor ought to be fed; that small.
pox is spreading and that the vaccina-
ton epidemic against II was proving
futile. The speech showed far more
distressing situation In Germany than
reports thus far reaching the de-

Washington. Mar. 22.--The state
department today squelched all sus-
gestions for neutral mediation be.
tween the United States and Ger.
many. This will continue to be the
administration attitude until the slate
Ia clean between Germany and AM
erica.
Suggestion that neutral move to-
ward mediation was proceeding,
Drought from the department the
definite knowledge that this govern
ment is not now disposed to parley.
Administration officials. including
Secretary OF State Lansing. were
frankly displeased at the mediation
talk. branding II as pro- German and
anti-American.
The state department said of1ciaIly
Il had not received q formal media
tion offer. aside from the several Of
fers made at the time Of the break
with Germany to do anything that
could be done.
Just who was inspiring the media
ton talk was unknown. But there was
a suspicion that It might be fostered
by Swiss sources. especially as a
propaganda move just after the break
was directly traced to the efforts OF
Swiss Minister Ritter.
