Food Profteering
Denied by Armour

Repeated charges that meat prices
were excessively high and that pack
ers were guilty If prohteering brought
an unqualified denial yesterday from J
Ogden Armour. head of the meat pack
ing firm Of Armour {; Co. At the same
time Mr.. Armour offered an cxplana-
ton for the prevailing prices.
Mr. Armours statement was con-
tanned in an open letter, which was
in part as follows:
"Malicious and ill-informed persons
have noted the fact that live hogs
sell for II cents q pound. while bacon
sells as high as 60 cents pound Inn
mediately they raise the cry of prof
iteerng and assert they' are being
robbed. The facts do not bear them
out
$50 far as the packer is concerned.
there is no 60-ccnt bacon. The finest
grades are sold by the packer at l61a
cents pound.
''In contrast with this price. liver
sells for s cents a pound; pigs feet,
7 cents; backboncs, cents; brains.
10 cents and so on. These parts aye
sold dressed and actually cost less
than as though IN the live nog.
"lf fair proportionate price could
be secured for these portions of the
hog the prices for hams would be
Immediately reduced. The same con
d!tions prevail. too, in the beef field"

PARIS, March 1S.-"There are many

Dawson, chairman of the American Red
Cross War Council, to The Associated
Press correspondent to-day. "Our gov
crnment has taken care of our boys
and their families, but it is in the way
of money. The purpose of the Red
Cross is to supply our boys with those
things like moral help and sympathy,
which money does not supply.

are things that can be done, and which
have not been done, that would help

fore we can take our place in the front
lines in such strength as can be ex-
pected from a nation as potentially
powerful as our own we want to help
along the morale Of our Allied friends

vices. Our presence here is for the
purpose of showing our allies that we
want to play the game to the finish, and
also to play every game that can be
honestly played to help The one big
game to a successful finish.
"Our boys are here from 5000 to
5000 miles away from their homes, and
we have organized a service to obtain

Mr.. Dawson pointed out tina. a large

that most of them left so hurriedly

Less Conservation and More Work

Was the way Lc Roy pelletcr, an
American citizen Of English birth OK
pressed it at the Rotary Lunch Meet
ing. Mr.. Pelleticr said the trouble is
when You talk economy, most people
misunderstood and put the money in
the sock And that 5 no good to the
government in war times. The United
States is the home of cxtravacancc and
China the cradle of economy. Compare
the two nations for world progress.
What we need here now is less conscr-
Natlon and more work. Turn our ma
terials into something needed and keep
the money circulating What is economy
i'll Europe is not economy here. This
country was iloatcd on the surplus of

shortage Of anything in this country is
ships. If the docks and terminals were

Offers Evidence
To Show Packers
Gouged Shippers

OMAHA, March 49, Francis j.
Heney, general counsel for the Federal
Trade Commission in its investigation
OF the nations packing house industry,
introduced evidence at the resumption
of the hearings IN Omaha to-day de-
signed to show:
First, that the packers maintained
stockyards in different cities in an eff
Tort to hold down prices paid pro-
0ucers by forcing them to sell wher-
ever quotations were the lowest
Second, that there was an agreement
in effect among the packers pro-rating
the amount Of livestock any one Of
them could buy in any market.
Third, that the influence of the pack
ers even extended to the banks in
which the cattle producers were forced
to discount their notes and obtain
loans.
Fourth, that millions of dollars
wrung from shippers by unjustifiably
large charges for yardage and feed
were distributed among the packers in
the form OF stock dividends. which
virtually amounted to a rebate.
Several letters from tie files Of
Swift & Co. We're read. NJ. K. Murphy,
general superintendent of the Cudahy
Packing Company. was examined con-
cerning the packers buNng plan after
he had testified that he was in charge
Of purchases for Cudahy & Co. Kansas
City. Wichita and Sioux City. Although
ne declared that he knew of no agree
ment between the big packers to di-
vide the cattle receipts at different
yards, he added: "We know what we
are entitled to- This he explained by
saying that the bigger plants were en-
titled 10 the biggest receipts.
Honey then introduced letter
written to Murphy by f. A. Cudahy,
in which the writer said that r. {.
Howe of Armour &. Co.. had called to
see him and in which he referred to
Our 80 per cent Of purchases Of
hogs" AT the bottom OF the letter.
Heney said, the following figures were
written in pencil: armour & Co.. so:
4 Co.. 49," Hency declared that this
constituted 100 per cent of the gross
receipts of hogs.
A. +. Stryker, secretary and traffic
manager of the Omaha Livestock Ex-
change, was examined along the lines
which indicated that Heney was en-
deavoring to establish the extent of
influences eNerted by the packers over
! the market by reason of their owner

In reference to the control of the
yardage facilities by the packers,
Styker said that it was generally un>
derstood that Armour controlled the

The Walls Give Way
Rotary Principles TO Go Beyond the
Limits Of Its Own Four Walls

The unusual recognition of the prin-
ciples of Rotary as expressed in one OF
its Slogans, "Servicc. Not Self" has
prompted the Rotary Club of New York
to prepare for big campaign of help
fulness to extend to all corners of the
city.
The Rotary Club, while well endowed
with public speakers, believes that every
member Of the organization should be
capable OF appealing to large gather
ings. To encourage those who suffer
from weak knees, a training course in
public speaking has been started. 1t is
expected that those qualifying in the
work will not only concentrate ON Ro-
tary Public \ flair work. but will assist
the -Four Minute Men Movement. The
class is under the direction of a noted
Instructor, Mr.. Dale Carnagey.

Washington. Nov 20.--That there Is
an active danger Of Bolshevikism in
Germany but that the Teuton leaders
will everyday the possibility for their
own ends. il the official attitude of
this government today towards the
German situation.
This position was revealed BY the
| State Department.
Different From Russia.
II was pointed out that the semi
calmness Of the last few days will
necessarily be significant.
Russia started very quiet but when
the bolsheyikism bursted out in full
ness the nation went mad.
The State Department officials
scarcely expect that events will follow
the same sequence for the intel
lectuaI power OF the average train
ed Teuton is much higher than that
Of the Slavs.
II was pointed out today that Russia
came out OF actual serfdom only a
few years ago.
Germany Better Balanced.
Germany has not been in active serf-
dom but has been bound to the auto
cratic rule.
However II was said that freedom
for the Germans will not probably be
) as intoxicating as 1t was to the Rus
slams. The chief element as seen in
the situation by the State Department
today was that with the long winter
coming on there would be much hun
ger throughout the country due TO un
equal food distribution.
No Bad Consequences.
That is pointed out by President
Wilson az the mother Of anarchy. Sc
the state department generally feels
that an outbreak of bolsheyikism will
have no bad consequences in Germany

Germany, 1t was stated, will receive

COLLEGE CASE IS DISMISSED
Supreme Court Opinion is Divided on
Question Of Infringement On
Corporate Name.

Des Moines, Nov. 20.-The Supreme
court OF Iowa yesterday sharply divid-
ed in passing upon a long siege Of
bitterly contested litigation from Du.

sought TO enjoin another college in
the same community from what was
alleged to be an infringement upon its
corporate name. The title OF the
case was "The Dubuque German Col
lege and Seminary. appellant. VS.. ST.
Joseph's College. Otherwise Known as
Dubuque College"
The plaintiff brought an equitable
action 10 restrain defendant from the
use OF it's name on the ground that
such use was misleading and confus-

made possible that unfair competition
which is repugnant to the common
law District Judge Robert Benson
dismissed the plaintiffs case, where
upon an appeal was taken.
Chief Justice Preston writes an
opinion affirming the decision of the
lower court, in the course of which he
gays:

of student when he selects an in
stitution for his education. and IL may
/ be assumed that a selection will not
/ be made without some investigation |;
and that philanthropists intending to
make a bequest would not be likely
to make the donation to the wrong

opinion, in which Justice Evans con
ours, in which the following question
is asked and answered:

dertake TO establish in New Haven,
