PACKING COMBINE
IN HOOVER'S BUREAU

Bureau-KlIed Kansas

Chicago, Feb. 26-Packers took /;
hand in killing the Illinois eight houl
bill, Kansas minimum wage for wo
men bill and other state legislation.
These disclosures were made by
Francis J. Heney in a new batch OF
packers letters he introduced in evil
'dence in the federal trade commissions
probe of the packing industry.
Labor agencies to stimulate employ
ment of negroes, particularly in Swift
and eompany's Denver, Colo, plant
plans to guard against unienizing the
workers and discrimination against
union employees also were uncovered
in the letters.
At the same time, continuing his at
tack on the packers alleged efforts
to Influence the food administration
Heney charged that W. f. Priebe and
II. B. Collins, officials of Herbert HoOv
er, still receive their salaries from
Swift and company.
I Heney followed this by switching
his fire, presenting through J. E. Ho-
ban, Carrolton, Mo-, commission man
charges that Swift and company is
illegally driving the independent pack
ers and commission men out of bust
ness in Missouri. Hoban sought the
federal trade commission s protection
as the result of his testimony, declar-
ing the packers had failed to dissuade
him from appearing here today by un-
usual business favOrs.
Following up his charges that the
beef barons placed friendly" men in
Hhe food admin hstration, Francis J.
heney, special counsel of the federal
trade commission, today revealed the
alleged packers combine as seeking
to control creameries, butter, cheese
and oleomargerine.
Packers planned to issue statements
in defense, declaring that their inter
est in Herbert Hoover s organization
was natural as it affected their bus
iness. Their experts, it was stated at
Swift and company's offices, were
the only men familiar with
meat and other products regulated by
Hoover and he had to call on their aid.
Heney had more letters to introduce

mission resumed the public hearing to-

PRESIDENT TAKES HAND.
By Robert ]. Bender

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, el7b. 26.-The American
government is striving to the utmost to
stir the Russians to defense of their
nation against the invading Teuon.
Aided by radicals in his country
the government is continuing its edu-
cation campaign in Russia, President
Wilson, himself, is behind the new
move.
To this end, the government is per
mitting passage of hundreds of cables
from radicals in this nation to the Boil
sheviki leaders, containing distinct
warning against a separate peace and
a friendly outstretehing of the hand to
encourage the struggling, war-torn Rus
slans. III erect, THESE cables state:
"Nour friends in this country have
stood by you faithfully until now be-
cause we thought and believed you were
rghtng to throw oil the yoke of autoc-
racy. Now you yield to that very autoe-
racy and militarism, encourage it by
your actions and discourage millions of
those who have supported you. You must
fight. "
The president has considered again
speaking out in the open to RUSSIA
but it appears likely he will do nothing
Immediately but wait spontaneous re-
action in Russia. 1t may always he
set down, however, that President VIII
son S purpose is to hold out America s
hand to the Russian democracy so long
as there is a democracy there 10 serve.
Contrary to the general belief, the
so-called American Bolsheviki are
outraged at the action of Lenine and
Tro' sky ii, yielding to the German peace
terms. Charges tnat socialists in the
United States were delighted at the
Russian peace have brought forth from
Representative Meyer London, only So
cialist in congress, a spirited challenge.
He stated that socialists in America
want the Russian people to Highland
fight until they whip the German ma
chine.

ers. There were protests from the so
eialists, who had no representatives
but it was held these workers woulC
be properly taken care of under the
general agreement reached.
The need of a national policy to-
ward labor, has long been advocated
to improve the workers spirit in the
war and increase to maximum the eff
ficiency and production of the men,
The causes for general unrest among
the workers have been outlined to the
United Press as follows:
Absence of stable and standard
wage.
Too much profiteering by war indus
tries and retailers.
Absence of "idleness and insurance
assured wages for workers forced to
idleness by lack of supplies, etc.
The open and closed shops, wages
and hours must also be threshed out
under the general program to be agreed
upon.
Other questions to be brought before
the conference in the order of their
relative importance arg;
Strikes and lockouts; piece work
and price fixing methods; methods
eliminating improper restrictions on
the output of war materials regardless
of cause; practice to govern dilution
of labor; admission of union agents to
plants; methods of promptly adjusting
disputes at their sources through
boards containing equal representation
of employers and employees; right Of
workers to organize.
The proposition to adjust all strikes
at their sources through equal repre-
sentation of the opposing sides IS
broached as a means of ending all
strikes at their inception and making
the United States a strikeless" coun-
try.
On the results of the conferences
may hinge to great extent the fate
of the United States in the war. The
men who will decide the questions are:

"The Germans in this country are
the tongue of the wagon. Which ever
way they swing, the election goes.
In Germany the alliance was con-
sidered the beginning of a German
state beyond the fatherland" accord
ing to a statement from Herman Onck-
en-, historian of Berlin, as quoted by
Ohlinger.
"We should grasp his proffered
hand,"y Oncken said, "and should learn
the great lesson that the German state
extends beyond the territorial do
mains of the fatherland: Germans are
always Germans. They take out Amer
lean citizenship papers only to be able
to vote and then help shape American
policies along German lines and ideals. -

the Alliance, conducted vigorous de-
Tense of the German invasion of Bel

he had read every issue of the publica-
tion with two exceptions since August,
1914
The witness declared that while the
paper had not come out for Germany
since our entrance into the war, and
had in fact urged loyalty to the United
States, it had shown no such enthus-
iasm on our behalf as it had done for
Germany's cause prior to our entrance
into the war.
A poem, written in German and pub
lished in the Bulletin shortly after we
broke relations with Germany, was
read by the witness. The name of this
little verse was Enough" (" The wit
ness, who translated the message, said
that its burden was to the effect that
the writer would never take up arms

TRY THIS IF YOU
HAVE DANDRUFF

X X X X X X X X X X X X X \
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This destroys
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, liquid arvon; ap'
ply it at night when retiring; usa
enough to moistenb the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three OF
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how fuch dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is Inexpensive, and four oune'
es is all you wilt need This simF /,
