CONTROL PACKERS
Congress Is Expected To Act as
Result of Charges.
Price Regulation Thru Illegal
Combination, Was Stated.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Congressional
action to control the meat packers to-
day promised to result from the fed
eral trade commissions charges of
illegal combination and price regula-
ton in the trade.
A conference of senators, including
Kenyon, Iowa, and Borah, Idaho, will
be held soon to outline some course
of action to correct evils the trade
commissions two reports declare exist
The problem facing those who want
action is how to retain the undoubted
utility of the meat industry machinery
without giving the firms mentioned by
the trade commission power to abso-
lutely control meat supplies and
processes.
The flat charges that the packers
Armour, Swift, Morris, Cudahy and
Wilson-now exercise this power thru
gigantic and close combination is
made by the commission in report
submitted to congress yesterday.
The trade commissions conclusions
as drawn from several hundred pages
of evidence are in the main:
That the five companies have d1-
vided up the country for their opera
lions in such a way as to allow them
to absolutely control both buying and
selling prices.
+ That the companies exchange con-
fidential information.
That the companies act collusively
in buying and selling.
That Swift, Armour, Wilson AND
Morris have combined to control tht
South American cattle market.
That all contribute to a joint fund
to swing public opinion.
The "black book figures promi-
nently in the report. This book con-
tains the notes of various packers
meetings and was the property of Ger
mon S. Su.zberger of Sulzberger
Sons, the report states.
One of the practices of the pack
.. ers TO control prices of cattle, the re-
port said, was to wire ahead when 6
seller wasynot satisfied with the price
originally offered by one packer ant
was on his way to another. Wher
the seller reached the second buyer he
was offered the same price as the first
offered.

GEN. MARTIN is BACK
Kansas Military Leader a Passenger
OH Returning Ship,

Kansas Military Leader a Passenger
on Returning Ship.
New York, Dec. S-Brig. Gen. Chas
I. Martin was a passenger on the troop
ship Northern Pacific, which arrived
at Hoboken. Monday. carrying 1000
wounded soldiers.
Brig. Gen. Charles I. Martins re-
turn to Kansas was indicated several
weeks ago in a dispatch announcing
that several brigadier generals had
been reduced to ranks of colonel and
command units materially changed.
General Martins name appeared on
the list. 1t was assumed by men in
army circles that the we'll known Kan
san would probably return at an early
date.
General Martin won his first mill
tary recognition in the SpaniSh-Ameri-
can war. where he served as an off,
Ger in the famous fighting Twentieth
Kansas. He was made adjutant gen.
eral by Governor Stubs in 1910,
having previously served four years
as state senator from Bourbon coun-
ty.~ General Martin was rcappointed
by Governor Capper, Republican. In
1916, General Martin went with the
national guard to the Mexican border.
When the guard organizations were
federalized in 1917. the Kansas COM
mander was commissioned a brigadier
general and last spring accompanied
the troops to France after more than
six months training at Camp Doni-
phan. General Martin was in COM
mand of the Sixtieth brigade compos-
ed of the 10th and 140th infantry.

change in temperature is expected,
and the thermometer was expected to
go to so this afternoon and Wednes-

The lowest temperature this morn

the mercury reached 43 by 10 o'clock.
1t will probably go to 40 again tonight

B0CHE WILL BE SLOW
May Not Be Able To Give Up 5000
Locomotives by December II.

Paris. Dec. Sit appears the Ger
mans will be unable to hand over all
the 5000 locomotives stipulated in the
armistice agreement by December 81
according to the Matin and it is pos
Sible that the allies will grant more
time to the enemy. This will have the
effect of delaying peace negotiations
since they cannot begin until the
armistice conditions have all been full
filled.
Discussions among the allied dele
cations to the peace conference will
probably begin on December 20 with
President Wilson taking part person
alIy.

to congress Monday by Secretary Nc
