Chicago, Feb. Representatives OF
Chicago packing interests again today
formally refused to turn over to gov
eminent investiga tors certain confiden-
tial documents which had been de-
manded in connection with the federal
trade commissions Investigation of the
packing industry
Further. when Francis j. Heney. spe-
cial counsel for the commission, ar
rived at the offices of Henry Veeder,
counsel for Swift & Co, he learned that
the latter had broken the seal which
had been placed on the vault when the
first refusal was recorded last week.
Veeder told Heney that the govern
nlent had no legal right to the docu-
ments; that in refusing to deliver them
he was acting on his constitutional
rights and endeayoring to protect the
interests of his clients. He Justified
the breaking of the seal on the ground
that the vault contained papers, access
to which was necessary to the conduct
of his clients business.

For the first time, also, Secretary

the allies have a preponderance of men
and guns on the western front, despite
the fact that the German line haaf been
strengthened by troops from the Rus
sian field. Secretary Baker declared

ending February @ Secretary Baker
says:
American troops which have now
completed their training are Occupying
a portion of the actual battle from The
operations in which our troops have so
far been engaged were of minor
character.
"On January 80, the Germans at
tempted strongly pushed raid against
our line for purposes Of ident .ication.

place place in France. The inter-allied
supreme war council met at Versailles
attended by General Bliss, chief OF
staff of the army, and General PERISH
ing as well as the Representatives OF
France. Great Britain and Italy. Com
plete and close cooperation between
the allies and ourselves, and a harmon
ious understanding between the SUI
preme commands of all the forces en-
gagged, promises to show positive re-
suits. Unity of purpose on all fronts
will be attained.
During the past ven-day period the
world has been flooded with the news
of very serious unrest in Germany.
Widespread strikes among munition
workers are reported. While dissatis-
faction is no doubt rife in Germany and
strikes of increasing seriousness have
occurred, we must not allow any re-
ported disturbance within the German
empire to offset the effectiveness or
speed of our preparations.
