Armour, cudahy, Morris, Swift and

Push Their Propa-
9anda.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Subtle
efforts of the packers trusti to
smash the proposed investigation in
to their business, or failing in this, to
control the probe itself, were revealed
in correspondence laid before the fed
eral trade commission by Chief In
vestigator Heney today.
The Vaccinations of the packers eX-
tended, according to the evidence,
from propaganda flooding congress,
to attempts at placing their own coun-
sci as chief investigator Of the federal
trade commission.
Legislators failing to respond to
their call were slated by the packers
for revenge" Heney stated.
Private records from the offices Of
Swift and company, disclosed an
agreement of the big five to distribute
the costs Of the fight against the Bor-
land resolution which later evidence
showed cost the trust $500.
Evidence was introduced showing
the packers had sought to worm into
the federal trade commission itself by
the appointment Of l.. G. Boyle, Kan
sas City, as special nvestigator-the
post now held by Heney. Boyle was
shown to have written Representative
Borland regarding his candidacy for
the post. Boyle was not known to be
connected with the packers at this
time, Heney said.
! In letter, Boyle said he hoped the
packers would not think he had
blundered in writing"
| Heney presented figures which, he
said proved conclusively the exist
ence of a combine among the packers.
The expense Of the Borland fight,
Heney charged, was divided as fol.
lows:

NEW YORK, Jan. 26-The plant
of the Submarine Boat company at
Port Newark, which is employed in
building ships for the government,
was threatened by fire early today
as the result of what is believed to
have been a spy plot.
Flames flashed up from oil barges
lying alongside pier.
Shots were fired by soldiers at
men they declare they saw running
from the pier. A United States army
sergeant's hat was pierced by bull
let he said was fired at him by a
man on the roof of warehouse.
A pier and four oil bsrgcs were
destroyed.
Soldiers used dynamite to demol-
ish buildings between the blaze and
the huge ship yard. The docks at
the quartermaster's pier were biaz-
tnb at an early hour.
Oil barges which had been frozen
against the dock, spilled oil on
frozen Newark bay and it ignited.
The sky was lighted up for miles
around.
The entire Newark fire department
was rushed to the blaze. Fire boats
were sent from New York, but had
great difficulty getting close, owing
to the ice
Crowds gathered around the blaze,
but soldiers kept the spectators back
by firing into the air repeatedly.
Rumors of spy plot to destroy
the Submarine Boat corporation plant
were circulated more than week
ago, just prior to visit paid the
plant by Edward N. Hurley, chair
man of the Emergency Fleet corpora
ton. When Hurley left. a guard Of
two hundred soldiers was sent at
once to the yard and began a patrol
Police also were sent from Newark
The plant is one of the largest in
the country and has just been COM
pleted. One ship already is on the
ways and nearly ready for launch
ing. Others are being laid down.
A trainload of coal near the sub
marine boat corporation plant caught
fire. Several heaps of coal near the
ship yards also ignited.
The sweep Of the fire was aided by
burning oil flowing over ice and by the
wind which swept the flames along
the docks.
One Of the burned docks was In the
submarine boat corporation property.
Flames menaced two big ship ways,
just completed.
Neither the justice department nor
the war intelligence bureaus professed
to know any suspicious details sur
rounding the conflagrations, but secret
service agents are busily at work try
ing to check up on the suspected ac-
tivity of spies.

decision, however. has not yet been
officially accepted by the Lenln'

The Bolsheviki steam roller Is su'
preme in the soviet gathering.
At today's second session. there
was never any doubt as to the over
whelming Bolsheviki strength. There
was a lonely group Of about seventy
five opponents whose main activity
was in demanding the immediate
consideration Of the peace negotia-
tions at Brest-Litovsk in view OF the
critical results of those conferences,
the disentregation of the army and
internal troubles.
The group was regularly voted
down.
one proposition fostered by the
minority was the immediate declara-
ton of holy revolutionary war
against the central empires.
The Bolsheviki declined to accept
such suggestion and held the con-
yention to the slated order OF bust
ness.
Nicholai Lenine in lengthy speech
reviewed the Bolsheviki admin1stra;
ton and predicted the complete de-
feat of General Kaledin and the
Ukrainian Raids revolt. He said
both moves were doomed to die out
as the result of revolutionary move
ment from within the Ukraine and
the Don.

called rights Of man resolution
which was rejected by the constituent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-President
Wilson today began an open fight to
save the life of Thomas Mooney,
convicted of the San Francisco pre-
paredness parade bomb crime July
|26, 1916.
The case is one of the most dra
matte in the legal history Of this
country because Of its grave local
and international aspects. 1t has re-
suited in widespread strikes and dis
orders throughout the west, rioting
about the American embassy in Pet
rograd, threats upon the life Of Amer
lean Ambassador Francis and dis
quietude throughout the labor world
With a formal report before him
delivered by special investigating
commission headed by Secretary OF
Labor Wilson, the president today
took his first steps toward securing a
retrial for Mooney. The commission s
report, based on a searching inquiry
into the trial Of Mooney and the
events leading up to and following the
bomb outrage in San Francisco, was
made public today 1t plainly init
mates that Mooney was the victim
Of a frame up" based on dubious
testimony It recommends that the
president urge upon the governor
and people Of California, a new trial
for Mooney if the California supreme
court refuses to grant an appeal from
MONEYS death sentence imposed by
the lower court and once upheld by
the state supreme court.
AS announced by the United Press
before the presidents special med
iation commission went west some
weeks ago, the president determined
upon a probe of the Mooney case fol
two reasons:
To reassure a large element o.
western labor in this country; and tC
offset widespread propaganda il
Russia designed to arouse the work
| ing classes against the United States
The presidents attention was frs
called to the Mooney conviction:
! vast influence when meetings o
protest sprang UP in Russia and the
W estern states.
! From there the protest spread ts
the entire country until it has gath
cred momentum from many source!
whose opposition to violence Is un
questioned and whose devotion K
our cause in the war is unstinted.
