Unhealthy Packers Tell
Independent Manufacturer

Boston, Dec. 2S.-Control by the
Chicago packers of the rendering
business throughout the country was
revealed at the Federal Trade Com
missions inquiry into the meat sup
ply which was continued here to-day
Francis j. Heney, special counsel
for the commission, stated that rem
derinS companies throughout the
country, had been consolidated un-
der the control of the various pack

ment they had divided territory and

difficult for Independent firms to do

Coal Shortage Near
an End, Belief of
Government Heads

Washington, Dec. 2S.-With con-
troll of the railroads about to pass

under direct supervision of the Pres

ticipate immediate relief of the keen
suffering of the nation due to lack

In fact 1t is likely there will be no
further extended investigation of
the so-called coal shortage by the
subcommittee. Its members want to
inquire into the matter of coal
prices, but the opinion was express
ed at yesterdays session that ap-

AINEY ASKS FOR
STATE HARMONY
Service to the Commonwealth
Is Better Than Factional
Bickering at Any Time

Chairman w. d. B. Ainey of the
Public Service Commission, in an adj
dress delivered yesterday afternoon
at Tunkhannock, made a plea for
people to forget factional fighting
and serve their state. The speech is
considered as a plea for settlement
of differences and the erecting OF
harmony in advance of the state
elections next year.
In his remarks Mr.. Ainey said:
Political chickering's and meaning
less factional quarrelings have no
proper place in the future of the
Republican, party in this state he
said. There are so many opportun-
tiles for service that for us to spend
our time in conventions over non
essentials is to betray our state. y
Chairman Ainey said in part:
AN awakened and united Penn
sylvania is the demand of the hour.
With a world filling up with momen-
tous problems our Commonwealth n
cannot afford to stand still or mark
time If we are to make worth
while contribution to our country we
must take stock of ourselves. The
economic problems which confront
uS Call Tor the largest VISION. IL We
have disagreements-an doubtless
we must disagree sometimes-these
disagreements should relate to fun-
damentals. We must recognize that
the Commonwealth was not created,
nor is II maintained, To serve poHt-
oil ~ inc nr fnr o.
Political parties may be separated by
divergent views as to great prlncl-
Piles. but these parties are only inn
portant as they serve the state. Fac
tionalism that serves only personal
ambition is lost effort.
Pennsylvania is a large producer;
and therefore the National Govern
ment looks to her for large support
in carrying on the war. 10 increase
the national efficiency by increasing
our productive energy is para
mount duty, but to preserve to our
people in the midst of the privations
OF war the standards of reasonable
comfort is no less a political neces-
sity.
I'VE need in Pennsylvania larger
--apreciatio of the might of our
state a greater determination in
these times OF stres; 10 give our
nest TO lne Sldle-lOT NllG CNtiAt sliaN
Nations peace, security and success.
There is a wide gulf between the
democracy which leads to the Bol-
sheviki and the autocracy which
leads to kaiserism. These are the
extremes which meet in evil. But
there is the middle ground in The
realm of democracy where our Ma
tional slogan may be enthroned. 1t
is for the men and women of Penn
sylvania to catch the larger vision OF
their duty and opportunity. We can
no longer afford to fritter away our
time and energy in senseless bicker-
ings which never escape from a use
less labyrinth We must devote our
selves to the task of celebrating n
proglam designed to meet the needs
of the new problems that are facing
MS. 1t is upon the basis of our abil-
~ to subordinate the nonessentials
md emphasize the essentials IN our
political affairs that we must rest
our claim for continued recognition
At the hands of the people.

Pichon said, was a victory for the
civilized world. He added that the
city would be given an international
status.
German terms for a general peace
and the suggestion that the entente
join the Russo-German peace con-
ference have brought some response.
American leaders are silent, prob
ably awaiting a direct message from
the peace makers at Brest-Litovsk.
The attitude of the American
government has not changed and it
is felt in Washington that the
present German promises OF no an
nexations and no indemnities are in
sincere. An alleged view of the
German peace terms in high British
circles says that Germany desires a
general peace and does not want a
separate peace with Russia. British
newspaper opinion is divided.
A recess in the peace negotiations
has been taken and the conference
will be resumed January at place
not yet determined. Leon Trotzky,
the Bolshevik foreign minister, is
said to be preparing a new appeal to
the entente allies to join the con-
ference. 1t is indicated in Russian
dispatches received in London that
the Bolsheviki place most of their
hopes In retaining power in the con-
summation of q peace which will
meet the wishes of the Russian
population, thus weakening the
Cossack and Ukraine opposition.
King Ferdinand. of Bulgaria, an
Amsterdam dispatch says, holds diff
ferent views on annexations from
those expressed by Count Czernin,
who apparently is the German
mouth piece. A Vienna newspaper
quotes the king as saying that Bull
garia vol Id hold what she had won.
which seemingly Is at variance with
the generalization of no forcible an
nexations uttered by Count Czernin.
German and Austrian newspapers
generally receive Czern.n state
ment wd,mly.
