REGULATION OF MEAT
PACKERS NEXT MOVE
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR

Washington, Sept. 12.-Government
regulation Of the meat packing in
dustry will be the next move Of the
food administration. A voluntary Of
fer Of representatives Of the pack
ers to put their plants under a IL
censing system made to Herbert
Hoover. the food administrator, at a
conference here today, was accepted
and plan Of control will be drawn up
shortly.
The packers, in number about a
score. came to Washington to take
up with Mr. Hoover the threatened
meat shortage and the, subject of ris.
ing prices. They are of one opinion:
That prices can be brought down lit
tie unless determined effort is made
to increase the production Of livestock.
The great export demand. they be-
iieve.r will maintain prices at high
level until long after the war has
ended.
a system for packing houses was
provided in the food control bill. Put
ting IT into operation. food admins
tration officials believe. will go far
towards eliminating boarding and
speculation and stabilizine prices. The
packers will confer soon with cattle
growers to discuss the food admin
istration's plan for removing herds
from the West TO better feeding dis
tricts in the East and South.
Increased production Of livestock Is
a military necessity. Narl Vrooman,
assistant secretary Of agriculture. de-
clared in statement tonight after
the packers meeting ended.
The keeping Of more livestock was
highly desirable before the war" said
Mr.. Vrooman. NOW II is a necessity
first because of the terrible dearth
OF meat animals not only In this
country. but throughout the world:
second, because no further waste of
feeds must be permitted and the only
thing that can prevent waste on the
farms Is the production Of that live
stock
"rhe fact that keeping of more live
stock Is military necessity does
not mean II is any the less a good
business. The farmer should not lose
this golden opportunity TO cash in mis-
waste forage At war prices"

For the reinsurance of America
you may say that General kornilof :
revolt IS not in the least affecting our
operations against the foreign enemy.
The armies at the front are solid with
the provisional government.
There is not the least doubt that
General Korniloff's coup has failed and
that we shall he strengthened for the
future by getting rid IF disloral gen
erals by whose conspiratorial tenGen-
cies We lone have been embarrassed.
General Kornilof himself is still at
Mohilev.
The provisional government will is
sue stronger than ever from tho c-is-
il and this will enable us Effectively
to deal with the Bolsheviki danger
So lorS as General Kornilof docs
not open hostilites there Is a strong
feeling in governmental circles in Pc

will postpone attacking the rebels TN
