URGES j. S. CONTROL OF
PACKING DURING WAR
Senator Kenyon Declares Meat
Barons Are Debating Prices
and Supply.

Government control and operation of
the packing industries during the war
was suggested by Senator Kenyon of
Iowa today before the Senate agricul-
ture committee.
Hank Reid. editor of a Chicago stock
journal, was testifying on the shortage
of food, particularly in meat
Don't you think it eventually will
be necessary for the government "a
take over the packing Industries and
operate them?" asked Senator Kenyon
Yes, 1 do" Reid replied, adding that
the packers are. controlling the meat
supply and debating prices.
II believe President Wilson's blind
side is farming and the farmers" Reid
said. In nothing he has written or
has sympathetic understanding of the
interests of farmers. [ believe Mr.
Hoover and Secretary Houston would
do lot Of things if President Wilson
would let them.
The general opinion seems to pre-
vail that members of the cabinet and
other administrative heads, have been
held back because President Wilson
does not grasp the situation" Mr. Reid
declared. Either the government is
forcing the packers to squeeze the
their own accord"
Reid agreed with a suggestion made
by Senator Gronna of North Dakota,
that the fixing of prices not only has
been a failure. but has decreased pro-
duction."

DECLARES HUNS SEEK
ARMENIAN MASSACRE
James [. Barton Asserts Influence Is

By the Assorted Press
BOSTON, March 6.-"There is evil
dence that at the present time German
Influences are being used upon the
Tartars in Russia TO institute mas
sacre unon the 500 600 Armenians and
the 1886. 900 Georgians dwelling in the
transcaucasus." says a statement issued

secretary of the American board of
commissioners for foreign missions and
chairman of the American committee
for Armenian and Syrian relief. The
statement adds that 100000 of the
people in the massachusetts are Ar
menian refugees from Turkey.
Unless something can be done by the
allies to stop this carnival of indis-
criminate slaughter Of the innocent and
helpless" it continues, we may soon
expect reports of massacres in those re-
gions surprising in horrors the Ar
menian atrocities of two and three
years ago
Or. Barton calls attention TO the reit-
Grated utteranceS of various German
writer's TO the effect that the natural
area of expansion for the central pow

already paid a rental far in excess OF

Report Not justified.

The conclusions in the majority re-
port, in the judgment of Representa-
tive Rouse. are not justified, for the
following reasons:
"First-Because they are not in ac-
cordance with the facts. When viewed
in the most charitable manner the data
before the commission do not justify
the purchase, retention or operation OF
the tubes.
''second-The expenditure. of millions
of dollars by the government to pur-
chase the present pneumatic tube
equipment, which the postal officials
state is inefficient. Anticipated and
worn out and of so little value that ii
would not be accepted a a gift, cannot
be justified.
"Third-To compel the department
by law to continue the use of these
tubes, which delay millions of letters
annually and damage and destroy thou
sands of others, would he indefensihle.
"Fourth-The purchase by the gov
eminent of the present tube system
