WANT FEDERAL CONTROL
OF ALL PACKING PLANTS
Employees Believe Question to
Be One of National
Necessity

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.-The de-
mand of Chicago packing house en-
ployes for government control of the
meat industry during the war was
broadened today to include all the pack
ing plants of the United States.
1t was made clear at the outset of
hearings before the presidents media
ton committee, that the employees be-
lieved the question to be one of national
necessity, and not merely a local dis
pute between the Chicago plants and
their workers.
at is absurd for a group of six COM
panies to control the food supply of the
United States and the allies" Frank
p. Walsh, attorney for the workers, told
the commission. Mr.. Walsh declared
it was necessary for the government to
act now and not wait for a calamity.
Levy Mayer. attorney for the packers.
argued that the companies were striv-
ing to assist the nation in the war and
that there was no adequate reason to
justify seizure of the plants from their
owners.
Disagreement developed as to the OPP
Grafton of the Chicago mediation pact
negotiated by the commission on Christ
mas day. The workers contended that
the packers had failed to live up to
their agreement.

George Veil Declares
People of Alsace Can
Never Become Germans

PETROGRAD, Dec. 27.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press. 1.-The AL
sace-Lorraine situation from a natives
point of view is laid before the Russian
public in an article published here by
the Alsame delegate, George Veil.
II myself am a walking example of
our peoples attitude" he says. 81 am
a social democrat and therefore in
principle am opposed to war.
Before the war l was one of the many
Alsace-Lorraine politicians who were
content to limit our national program
to an autonomy within the boundaries
of the German empire From this it
must not be gathered that we had for
gotten that in 1871 our right as a ma
ton to self-definition had been vio-
lated by Bismark. No, we were willing
to limit our demands for the sake OF
peace, that was all. We knew that we
could be reunited to France only at the
price of war and we wished to avoid
that"
He further explains the reason why
the people of Alsace-Lorraine do not
wish to and cannot become Germans.
"Our national culture is French. not
German" he says. THE Germans state
that by descent, in language and in
history we are Germans. This, however,
is untrue, or only partly true.
our population is mixture of German
and Celtic races, as is also the case
of a good part of the population of north
and west France; admitted also, that a
considerable part of the population
speaks in the Alsacian dialect, which is
a branch of the German language. New
ertheless, our history has removed us
far from the German root and has made
US French
During the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries we were utterly separate
from Germany and took no part in the
formation of the new Germany which
was forming under the banner of Prus-
STA. The new Germany became a
stranger to US, while France drew near
er and nearer to us.
1.-The great French revolution finally
decided our national character. The en-
tire population of Alsace-Lorraine was
caught by the revolutionary movement.
The 'Marseilleise was written in Strass-
burg and sung for the first time by
Rouge-de-Lille at the house of the mayor
of Strassburg"

NJ ADOO MAY INCREASE
R. R. PASSENGER RATES
Tells Congress Committee
That Great Amount of TraV-
ell Must Be Stopped

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-To curtaI
travel on the National railroad during
the war, Director General McAdoo may
soon increase passenger rates. Passen-
ger trains may also be further reduced
later.
Called today before the house inter
state commerce committee to explain
what steps have been taken and are
contemplated to relieve the freight con-
gestion in the east. McAdoo indicated
that among other steps, drastic reduc-
ton of passenger traffic is essential
For the present" he said, "a halt
has been called in the curtailment or
passenger trains because many state
commissions with the best of intentions
started wholesale slashing of this serv-
ice.
Before the passenger service can be
reduced much more, in order to prevent
many disturbances. the great amount of
travel must be decreased. When that
time comes, think the rates ought TO
be raised"
Director General McAdoo repeated his
statement on government operation Of
railroads. made last week to the senate
committee.
Glen f. Plumb. representing the rail-
road brotherhoods. appeared before the
senate Interstate commerce committee
and repeated his statement of yesterday
before the house committee. He urged
that the bill be amended to clearly pro-
vide that it is a war measure and
should not be taken as a precedent for
future legislation after government con-
troll over the railroads has been relin-
quished.

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot
water with phosphate In
it, before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, soul
bile and poisonous toxins, says a
noted physician.
If you get headaches, it's your liv-
er. If you catch cold easily. it's your
liver. If you wake up with a bad
Liste, furred tongue, nasty breath or
stomach becomes rancid, it's your
Tver. Sallow skin, muddy complex
ion, watery eyes all denote liver un-
cleanliness. Your liver is the most
important. also the most abused and
neglected organ of the body. Few
know its function or how to release
the dammed-up body waste, bile and
toxins. Most folks resort to violent
oalomel, which is a dangerous, sali-
waiting chemical which can only be
used occasionally because it accumu-
lates in the tissues, also attacks the
bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
WELL should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it, to wash from the
liver and bowels the previous days
indigestible material. the poisons,
sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and freshening the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does, not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because
1t can not salivate, for it is harm
less and YOU can eat anything after
wards. 1t Is inexpensive and almost
tasteless, and any pharmacist will
sell you a quarter pound, which is
sufficient for a demonstration of how
hot water and limestone phosphate
cleans, stimulates and freshens the
liver, keeping you feeling fit day in
aTH-dsy out.
