GREAT VICTORY, LOSS
SMALL, BERLIN CLAIM

AMSTERDAM, April 27.-Advices
received from Berlin say that att a
meeting of the Main Committee of the
Reichstag, which was discussing army
estimates, War Minister Won Stein
made a statement on the western Of
fensive in which he paid a tribute to
what he termed the splendid perform
ances of the German troops.
Our officers" said Lieut. Gen. Won
Stein, "once again have proved their
well-tried faithfulness unto death"
The war minister said that some
detachments had lost two-thirds of
their company leaders.
'Our losses have been quite normal,
and in some cases remarkably small, >
he continue "They are mainly at
tributable to infantry and machine
gun fire, and a great number of the
wounded already have been sent back
to the front, thanks to the devoted ac-
tivity of our medical officers.
Our successes in the west are to
be regarded as a great victory. From
southwest of Arras to La Fere we
broke through the English positions
to depth of sixty kilometres (about
forty miles,. About 100000 prisoners
and 1900 guns were our booty there.
"Afterward we drove the French
from strong positions across the Disc
Aisne canal and beat the English again
in battle at Armentieres, capturing
over 10000 prisoners and $50 guns.
After an allusion to the long-range
bombardment of Paris, the minister
described the difficulties of rapidly
an army.

municipalities, and profiteer.
Remedy Is Proposed

railroads.. stockyard companies and
municipalities, and profiteer.
Remedy Is Proposed
while we have found" said the
commissions report to the president
"and will disclose to you an intricate
fabric of 'monopolies, controls, com.
binations, conspiracies and re.
straints,' which would seem to indi.
cate a similarly complex and minute
system of legislative or administra.
tive remedies, we believe that an ade.
quate remedy today may be more
simply arrived at.
1--WE believe that if the fundament.
al and underlying evils are rooted
out the whole structure of conspir-
acy, control, monopoly and restraint
must fall.
"f these five great concerns owned
no packing plants and killed no cat
tie and still retained control of the
instruments of transportation, of
marketing and of storage their posi-
ton would be no less strong than it
is"
Recommendations Made
The commission then recommend
ed:
"1.-That the government acquire,
thru the railroad administration all
rolling stock used for transportation
of meat animals and that such owner
ship be declared a government mo-
nopoly.
"2-That the government acquire,
thru the railroad administration, the
principal and necessary stockyards of
the country to be treated as freight
depots and to be operated under such
conditions as will insure open COM
petitive market with uniform scale
of charges for all services performed,
and the acquisition and establishment
of such additional yards from time to
time, as the future development of
livestock production in the United
States may require. This to include
customary adjuncts of stockyards.
u. S. to Own Cars
"3.-That the government acquire,
through the railroad administration
all privately owned refrigerator cars
and all necessary equipment for their
proper operation and that such ow-
nerhsip be declared government mon
opoly.
"4-That the federal government
acquire such of the branch houses
cold storage plants and warehouses
as are necessary to provide facilities
for the competitive marketing and
storage of food products in the prin-
cipal centers of distribution and con-
sumption. The same to be operated
by the government as public markets
and storage places under such condi-
tions as will afford an outlet for all
handlers of foood products on equal
terms. Supplementing the market
ing and storage facilities thus &C
quired the federal government, thru
the railroad administration at the
terminals of all principal points of
distribution and consumption, CEN

PACKERS COMBINE
SHOULD BE BUSTED
Is Recommendation Made to Presi-
dent by Federal Trade Commits
sion After Thoro Investigation.
URGE GovERNMENToPERATIoN
Charge Is Made That Five Companies
Are in Conspiracy to Plumber
and Profiteer-Control the
Meat Supply.

Investigation Of the packing in
dustry of the country by the federal
trade commission eliminated last
week in an announcement that the
commission had recommended to
President Wilson that the govern
ment commander and operate for
the public benefit stock yards, cold
storage plants, warehouses and re-
frigerator and cattle cars.
Charge Worldwide Trust
Monopolistic control of ,the essen
tial food supply not only of the
United States and its army and navy,
but also of the entente countries
was charged by the commission
against the five great packing COM
panies - Swift, Armour, Morris,
Cudahy and Wilson. The last named
company, the commission said, is con-
trolled by three of the strongest
banking groups in the United States
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Guaranty Trust
Co. and Chase National Bank.
Into Banking Business
Further close utilization between
the packing industry and financial in
terests was reported. The commits
sion said that in the great financial
centers, the packers had representa-
ton on the directorate of large
banks, through members of the indi-
vidual families, or thru officers, di-
rectors or confidential employees.
The commissions report on the
packing industry was the third made
in the general investigation of the
food supplies ordered by President
Wilson and congress last year. The
report was made public by the White
House without further comment than
that it had been presented July and
had not before been made public be-
cause the president desired first to
get full information.
Basing the statement upon a great
volume of evidence examined, much
of it taken from the confidential files
of the packing companies, the COM
mission said the power of the five
packing companies "has been and is
being unfairly AMI illegally used" to
manipulate livestock markets, re-
strict interstate and international
supplies of food, control the prices
of dressed meats and other foods, de-
fraud both producers of food and
consumers, crush effective COMPETE
ton, secure special privileges from
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1918-08-15


trail wholesale markets and storage
plants with facilities open to all upon
payment of just and fair charges.
Trying to Loot World
"Out of the mass of information
in our hands," the report continued,
zone fact stands out with all posi-
Bile emphasis. The small dominant
group Of American meat packers are
now international in their activity
while remaining American in their
identity. Blame which now attaches
to them for their practices abroad as
well as at home inevitably will attach
to our country if the practices con-
tinue.
"The purely domestic problems in
their increasing magnitude, their mo-
nopolization of markets and their
manipulation and control, grave as
are these problems, are not more SER
ious than those presented by the ad-
ded aspect of international activity.
This urgently argues for the solution
which will increase and not diminish
the high regard in which this people
is held in international comfy"
The commission says in addition to
their immense properties in the
United States the five packing COM
panies either separately or jointly
own or control more than half of the
export meat production Of Argen-
tine, Brazil and Uruguay, and have
investments in other surplus meat
producing countries, including Aus
tralia, as we'll as branches in Great
Britain, France, Italy, Canada, Den
mark and Paraguay.
Control Meat Supply
"Under present shipping condl-
TONS" the report adds, "the big
American packers control more than
half of the meat upon which the al
lies are dependent"
Of the difficulties encountered by
the commissions investigators, head
ed by Francis j. Henry, the report
says:
"The commission, thru Mr.. Henry,
had to meet the deliberate falsifica-
ton of returns properly required un-
der legal authority; we had to meet
schools for witnesses where employees
were coached in anticipation of their
being called to testify in an investi-
CATION by you (the president) and by
the congress of the United States;
we had to meet a situation created
by the destruction of letters and doc
uments. vital to the investigation; we
had to meet a conspiracy in the pre-
paration of the lawful inquiries OF
the investigation"
Packers Extend Control
The commissions staff, the report
Declared, have met and overcome ev-
cry obstacle that ingenuity and mon
ey could devise to impede them" y
The presidents attention was called
to the work of Mr.. Henry, whose
conduct of the case, because of its
success, has met with condemnation,
misrepresentation and criticism"

GOVERNMENT FIXES
MAXIMUM PRICES ON
ALL KINDS OF LUMBER
Oregon Fir Increased $2.75
1t May Be Sold For Less
by Dealers

Washington, June 22.-Maximum
prices for fir logs and fir lumber pro
duced in the Pacific northwest were an
nounced by the war industries board to-
day. They are effective for a three
months period, which began June Is.
Maximum prices were also fixed for
southern Or yellow pine lumber.
Douglas fir prices, applying to lumber
manufactured in the Pacific northwest
represent an average increase of approx
imately $2.75 a thousand board feet, it
was officially announced. Yellow pine
prices are increased approximately $3.50
a thousand
The new prices apply to government
allied and civilian and purchases alike
it was officially stated. Since mill prices
on yellow pine have averaged higher
to the civiian trade than to the govern.
ment, the new schedule will not result
in higher prices to the public, although
the government will have to pay more,
it was declared. Douglas fir prices will
advance only slightly, if any. to the
commercial trade under the new rates.
Increased cost of labor and supplies
make the new schedule necessary, the
war industries board stated. Prices fol-
low investigation with the federal trade
commission.
The prices, it was explained are max
imum prices, not fixed prices, and lum-
Der may hc sold below the government s
figure and usual trade discounts allow
I'd.
Regulations have not been made for
transactions other than sales by manu-
faeturers at scheduled prices" the Of
ficial statement said.
Wholesale dealers, retailers and
others, are entitled to buy on the basis
of these prices at the mills. No regula-
tion of rates or profits has been made
with regard to sales either by whole
salers or retailers to consumers. The war
industries board believes that sales by
all dealers should be made at reasonable
prices based on strictly reasonable
profit above the fixed scheduled rates.
The board is confident that the trade
will conform to the spirit of the exist
ing regulations and the board viii not
proceed to further regulation or re5tric.
