Ice Skating Kinks
Hard Hit by Rule
To Save Ammonia
Shortage Demands Action,
Says Controller, Who
May Allow Delay

Benjamin 3. Odell, Ice Controller,
made it clear yesterday that ice-skat-
ing Kinks are included in the new law
which requires all makers of artificial
ice 80 obtain q license from him.
The ice skating rink owners sent their
men in a hurry to Controller Odell's
office, in the Equitable Building, to see
il a modification of the order could
be obtained. Mr.. Odel told them TO
appear at his Office this morning at
1920 for q conference. 1t is under
stood that to prevent financial loss a
weeks grace may be allowed.
The law is Definite" said Mr.. Odell.
"The order of the Ice Controller ap-

The food administration in Wash
ington yesterday issued the following
order to Federal food administrators
with reference to ammonia supplies:
"The chemicals division OF the
United States Food Administration
suggests that any requests received by
you for supplies Of ammonia for the
use of ice plants, refrigerating plants.
etc. should be referred TO the food
administration in Washington. The
question of the ammonia supply is one
which must be considered by the food
administration in connection with the
War Department. and it, therefore,
seems necessary to centralize in Wash
ington the control of the limited
supply"

J
WASHING TON. March 1.-The farm
labor question will receive the atten-
ton of Congress at once
1t will be discussed tomorrow IN
the House Committee on Agriculture.
At the request of Chairman Lever.
Representative Sydney Anderson, Of
Minnesota, and George NJ Young and
John NJ. Baer, of North Dakota, have
redrafted the Baer bill to aid the
farmers in buying seed wheat. The
scope of the measure has been ex-
tended to include farm labor.
AS rewritten, the Baer bill appro-
PIRATES $l0,000,0o0 to be Used by the
Secretary of Agriculture to mobilize
persons willing to work on farms and
transport them to the places where
needed; and to contract with farmers
in financial straits to grow grains, ad-
vancing seed and also feed. if needed
When before the House Committee
three weeks ago. Herbert Hoover in
dorsed the government aid proposal
Secretary of Agriculture David F
Houston, who was before the commit
tee Monday, said the department has
the whole situation we'll in hand, and
advised against any such legislation
The result was that the committee
killed the Baer bill, Chairman Lever
breaking a tie.
There is strong feeling among
members of Congress that the Depart
ment of Agriculture is doing more
talking than actual organization to in
crease food production. 1t has re-
ported that a survey of the labor stu
alton is under way.
One Representative said surveys are
all right, but called attention to the
fact that the food survey authorized
last summer has enabled the depart
ment to tell this week how much salt
pork and canned salmon was in stock
last August. He pointed out farm
labor investigation, conducted in such
a leisurely fashion, would determine
next fall just what the situation is
now.
1t is realized that ihcre must be
some agency to distribute farm labor
at the seasons when it is needed. The
Northwest Representatives believe the
Department Of Agriculture can do this
if Congress gives the authority anc
provides money.
Chairman Lever is friendly to tho
labor provision inserted in the Bae1
bill, and its hackers are hopeful tina
favorable report can be obtainct
from the committee without delay.
If the spring wheat farmers are t,
get any benefit from the seed and fec
provisions the measure must be passet
before the end of this month. Nh
Lever has assured. Northwest member
prompt action will be had in the Hous
if the committees unite on the bill.

J. Ogdes, Armour
Attacks Heney as
Publicity Seeker

Twisting the name of Francis ].
Heney, counsel for the Federal Trade
Commission in the Chicago investiga-
tion of the packers, into "Mr. Heaney,"
j. Ogden Armour issued statement
yesterday which condemns the investi-
cation as unfair and "Mr Heancy"
himself as q publicity seeker or worse.
lows:
special Attorney IIcaney is now
conducting Il proceeding before a Fed
cral trade examiner and himself. The
proceeding is being conducted in a
manner that | believe is without a
parallel. He reads to a special exami-
ner and a stenOgrapncr hundreds of
letters, presumably for the benefit of
the record, but really in order to pref
udice the public and to sensationalizc
The packers are not represented; in
fact. no one is represented but Mr..
lleaney and the examiner. No oppor-
tunity is given to answer or explain
either the letters or the side com
ments which Mr.. Hcancy interpolates
for the purpose of creating still fur
thcr prejudice and more sensation"
Proceeding more particularly to
"Mr. Heaney", Mr. Armour has this 10
say:
II believe that in the methods Mr.
Heaney is pursuing he is serving some
private or political ambition, regard
less of the discredit that he may throw
upon one Of the leading industries Of
this country and upon those who are
endeavorirg to faithfully serve our
government and our allies"
Mr.. Armour devotes good half or
more OF his statement to reply to
the information brought out by Mr..
lleney that packers had suggested in
Guiding "cheek" meat and pigs backs
and shoulders rs "bacon' in army ra-
tions. The attorney put "an utterly
false color' on the affair. Mr. Armour
declares. In reality. he says. the pack
ers were merely trying to "modcrnzc
the armV meat specifications"
"Thc army officials notified the pack
ers last August" he says, that in
stead Of 100000 pounds Of bacon a
month, which was the requirement
when the army was $1,000 in size, the
packers must deliver to the govern
ment sufficient bacon for an army Of
/ ,062 600, or 100000 pounds per month,
and this in addition to the much larger
quantity that the packers were re-
Qured TO furnish to the Allies The
government quickly realized that it
was and is a physical and natural i'm
possibility to supply bacon under the
old army meat specifications which
would meet the requirements Of the
million-man army"

men Vacated When Dan
ger Line Is Near

II looked for q time yesterday as f
the Board of Aldermen would not be
able to fix the tax rate for 1918 on
Monday, last day permitted in the
city charter. This was due to efforts
Of the Citizens Union to enjoin the
city authorities from including in the
current tax budget S2,O6l.36t as the
city's share Of acquiring title to land
for widening Queens Boulevard.
Just before the aldermen met in
special session to receive the assess
nlent rolls restraining order was
ing President Moran of the board.
Leonard NJ Wallstein. counsel for the
Citizens Union, had obtained the order
from John Proctor Clarke, presiding
justice OF the Appellate Division Of the
Supreme Court 1t was returnable
Tues day. The aldermen were in a guam
Diary until Justice Clarke vacated the
order later
A temporary injunction had been OBJ
tanned from Justice Erlanger, in the
Supreme Court, based on the conten-
ton that the money should be raised
by the issue Of fifty-year corporate
stock Justice Erlanger subsequently
vacated the order on the ground that
under the provisions of the pay
vou-co" law this contention would not
hold. Then Mr.. Wallstein obtained an
,rder to show cause from the Appellate
Division.
Controller Craig, on statement
reIs I've to the final action OF the court
declared that Mr.. Wallstein had OBJ
tanned the order from Justice Clarke
without exhibiting to him a copy OF
the papers submitted by the Controller
to Justice Erlanger. When these papers
were submitted to Justice Clarke by
the Controller he vacated the order
The prompt action of the two courts
the Controller said. had prevented any
illegalitv in the 1918 tax levy. The
whole action of the Citizens Union,
he said. was "the most vexatious and
uniustifable interference with the
necessary work Of the city govern
ment" that had ever come to his atten-
tioa.
