 ID STOP INQUIRY
Correspondence Showing Activity to Defeat Con- gressional Resolutions
 Written Into Record

Washington, January 25.--Activitics behind the scene in Washington dur ing agitation in 7D16 for an investi- gation into tke live stock and pack ing industry were revealed today from correspondence taken from the confi- dential files of Swift & Co.,, of Chi cngo, showing the efforts of the big packing firms to defent any inquiry into their business.
 The correspondence was introduced at the resumption of the federal trade commissions investigation, which was transferred abruptly from the middle west when Walter Tomlinson. an agent of the commission, unearthed from the Swift files documents re- garded as of such sensational import that Francis J. Henny, special coun- sel, and his assistants hurried here from Chicago to put the discoverie into the official records.
 During the period covered by the correspondence there were pending in Congress resolutions introduced by Representatives Borland of Missouri and Doolittle. of Kansas proposing in- ouiry into conditions of live stock marketing which cattlemen had charged permitted the packers to ma nipulate the market as they chose. A report on the situation made by coun- sel to G. F. Swift, Jr., and other of ficers of the firm said:
 "We Believe the situation to be se- rious and recommend that everything be done in every direction to head off the present movement We believe that as it stands today nothing could stop criminal prosecutions"

MacFarland. general secre- tary of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America An effort will be made, he said. to reach the German newspapers with the statement.
 In discussing Professor Deissmann's as sert:on tho Rev. MacFarland said 1t was based on the ground that formal action in support of the nations stand was not taken by the federal council until 2 month after war was declared.
 He said the German professor entirely irr ored a telegram sent by the council s officers to President Wilson not 24 hours after the wars declaration assuring the President of the churches whole hearted allegiance.
