VAST SEIZURE
OF MEATS DUE
2,420,0 900 Pounds Are Stor>
ed in Ohio, Says Governor

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Aug. 15.--
Governor Cox OF Ohio today
asked United States Attorney
General Palmer TO seize s,4sO..
600 pounds Of meats stored In
Ohio by several big Chicago
packers on the charge of "wil-
full violation and even defiance
OF the law"
Cox said the meat was owned bv
Swift & Co, Morris & Co, Wilson z
Co. and Brant & Co. The governor
urged Palmer to take action imme-
diately to seize the meat and to pros
ecute the packers. In addition. 80
affidavits charging 2s different Ohio
persons with violations OF the state
cold storage act were signed and
sent out for service.
Is WiIlfuI Violation
Our investigation shows unmis-
taxable evidence not only of wiilful
violation and even defiance OF law
on the part of the large packing
houses particularly but we have
discovered that food supplies have
been shipped from Chicago to Cleve.
land, returning again to Chicago
and re'shipped back to Cleveland.
To what extent this process has
been carried on we do not yet know.
but II is manifestiy the part OF 4
policy framed and shaped by the
Chicago packers for the double pur.
pose of deceiving the authorities in
Ohio and Illinois and keeping food
necessities off the market in order
that deficiency and higher prices
might come together.
I'm behalf of the public interest.
l not only urge upon you to seize
this food at once. but suggest that
you receive from the authorities
of this state evidence now in hand.
upon which | believe criminal PROS
ecution can be had against the ex-
ecutive heads of the large packing
corporations, who certainly are re-
sponsible for the artful and unlaw-
ful practice of destroying In the
first instance the law OF supply and
demand and then defrauding the
consumers"

In King County

White dairymen and produce growers of the
White river valley, who have survived the Japa-
nese invasion of the fertile stretch of valley land
lying between Orllia and Kent, are preparing
to make their last stand against the ever-increas

The few remaining white men are making
arrangements TO circulate petitions among the
land owners pledging them to refrain from re-
newing or making any further leases to the
japanese.

When asked what became of the whites Cochran de-
