PACKERS HAD
BLACKLIST OF
CAPITAL FOES
Investigator Heney Also
Discloses Their Opposi-
ton to Investigation.

How the so-called. meat trust
blacklist hostile Congressmen for
reelection was revealed yesterday,
at an extraordinary session of the
Federal Trade Commission.
Francis ]. Heney. special govern
ment investigator spread before
the commission documentary evil
dence disclosing in detail the
methods adopted to unseat Repre-
sentatives who favored the inves-
tigation Into the packing industries
which was fostered by Represena-

of the campaign launched by the

TT will be shown that the pack
ers took revenge on Congressman
One paid the penalty. He is out"
added the investigator after he had
read an excerpt, from a memoranda
of a conference held in Chicago.
April 81, 1916. after formal plans
had been adopted to head of the
pending Federal inquiries.
1T is agreed that Mr.. Borders
while in Kansas City. Monday. April
"a, would investigate Mr.. Borlands S
political situation" the notation
read. Mr.. Borders was identified by
the Federal Investigator as a mem

Warned Packers.
The report of warning, according to
a memoranda. was handed to J. NJ
Cudahy. T. E. Wilson, Edward Nor
ris. jr., and other high officials in the
big five packing companies. 1t was
accompanied by a series Of sugges-
lions which Mr.. Heney showed
through further documentary evidence
taken from the files of the packing
houses were carried out to the letter
In their recommendations the "com-
mittee of three" which signed the re-
port, advised:
81 If we are TO avoid indictments
we must Immediately decide upon
some steps as will first bring better
feeling by showing q disposition to
cooperate.
20. Get something cooperative
started which cannot be finished for
some time.
g. see tnat our 1r1endS In tneSe
cattle organizations do organize so as
to discredit and undermine Walter
Fisher. De Ricqles and Jastro con-
spiracy.
a. Get together all the political
strength to persuade the subcommit-
tee Of the Judiciary Committee not to
report out the Borland resolution
unless necessary to prevent a bill
for Congressional inquiry.
''5. So combine the question OF the
packers inves tigation with the more
comprehensive scheme mentioned by
Fisher that the whole undertaking
will appear so collosal as to be un-
attractive.
IS See IL the Bureau of Markets
can be induced to start to publish
data and familiarize itself with the
situation to such an extent that II
will begin to represent the cattle
men in all disputes.
y. See IL the Livestock Exchange
cannot be induced to help dissipate
some Observation-Disclosures. Be at the
! hearing. Offer to undertake to Agree
with the livestock men as to the hour
to start the markets"
Walter Fisher, referred to is the
attorney who represented the cattle
mems interests in the plea for a Con-
gressional inquiry. while de Ricqles
was described by Mr.. Heney as one
OF the big Colorado cattle ranchers.

ORDER CLOSING
D. G. CHURCHES
Is MODIFIED
Many Houses Of Worship
May Get Exemptions
from Garfield.

Chances seemed bright last night
for at least q few further exemptions
and possibly further modification
OF the church closing order of the
Fuel Administration. when Edward r.
Colladay. acting District fuel admin
istrator, announced that ''the same
elasticity would govern the inforce-
ment Of this order as several prior
ones"
This statement would portend that
wherever q church can prove that
the work of its particular denomina-
ton is seriously curtailed through the
order that a special order will be
provoked.
Falling in their appeals to the Fuel
Administration for a modification of
their edict requiring that two-thirds
of Washington's churches close their
doors tomorrow and for two Sundays
thereafter, National Capital clergy
men last night temporarily resigned
themselves to their fate and perfect
ed details necessary to comply with
the order.
More resolutions were passed yes
terday by the various denominations
protesting against apparent discrim-
nation in the order, and there was
little doubt felt last night but what
concerted action along this line will
be taken Monday morning when the
Pastors Federation meets in the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church.
Churches to BE Open.
District Fuel Administrator Weav-
er could not be reached last night, he
having left for Florida, 1t was stated
at his home, for a stay of one week,
