PACKERS ADMIT BAD
LIVING CONDITIONS
Judge Makes Personal Visit

Chicago. Feb. 26.--First hand infor-
nation Of living conditions In the dis
trict known as back Of the yards"
where many packing house employees
live, was gained today by Federal
Judge Samuei Alschuler, arbitrator in
the wage controversy between the
packers and the laborers, when he
personally made a trip to the district
and inspected ihc homes. He was ac-
companied only by representatives of
the packers and Of the employees.
Statements made after the trip by
Carl Meyer, representing the packers
and Frank Walsh. representing the
employees. show that for the first time
since the investigation was started at
torneys for the two sides agree on

OPPOSE RAISE IN
PRICE OF wheat
Administration Objects to
Measure Planning for
General Advance.

Washington, Feb. 20.--The full in
fluence of the administration will be
used il necessary to prevent enactment
the price Of wheat.
This became known tonight from an
authoritative source. Opposition to the
measures another of which was intro
duced today by Representative Helver-
ing of Kansas, Is based on the ground
that their passage would upset the en-
tire wheat and bread program Of the
food administration worked out in
great detail, and that president Will
son already has fun authority to re-
adjust the price IL it is found advisable
Aeitate Raise.
Already the agitation for a higher
price for next seasons crop. food ad-
ministration officials say. is checking
the flow of wheat to the terminals and
mills and threatens to stop entirely.
There is no power under the food act
to force farmers to release their grain
and although the bihs in congress pro-
vide that the price shall apply only to
the new crop, there is no way. officials
say, to prevent the seller from mixing
in old wheat with the new.
II legislation providing higher
prices for the new crop is enacted the
| food administration, 1t is declared, will
| be forced to raise the price of flour.
which would mean immediate increases
in bread prices. Enormous profits ac-
cording to officials. would go to dis
trihutors who now hold about O,0O0. 900
bushels of wheat and some 10000, 900
| barrels of flour There probably are
| on the farms about 125.030.0 900 bushels
| of wheat left over from the old crop,
much of which will have to be held for
| seeding.
