upon thousands are actually trying

the United States must cease to
regard itself as the asylum for the

necessary for the protection or

We have come from everywhere.
Practically all of US are from immi-

~ ENATOR YENYON of Iowa. author of the
bill to regulate the meat packing in
dustry, announces that early next
month the committee in charge of the
~ bill will begin hearings upon it and
every effort made to push consideration
of the measure. No legislative proposal in
recent years has drawn sharper and more bitter
lines of division in Congress than this measure
and the kindred kendrick BILL assailng what
is popularity termed the beef trust. Men who
have stood out for these measures have felt
pressure brought to bear them to abate their
advocacy, from innumerable, varied and in
sidious sources. No one in Congress is prepared
to prophesy whether the bills get through
not.
Il have been assailed in my own state with
the charge that the agitation of my bill has
caused the farmers of Iowa to loose 100000 in
thirty days. said Senator Kenyon. eff any
combination of interests in this country can
cause such loss in such time, contend that
it should be regulated"

Federal Trade Commissioner Colver, in an ad-
dress day before yesterday before a gathering
of business men, made the charge against the
great CHICAGO meat packers, that in order to
dispose of embarrassingly large profits and to
find investments for SURPRISES have invaded lines
of business other than those of the products and
by-products of the packing houses until the
five great Chicago packers operate through 574
separate corporations and trade names, dealing.
as their own catalogues show, in six or seven
hundred items-hundreds of them unrelated to
the packing business"
I'm 1904" he continued, these gentlemen
told Commissioner of Corporations Garfield that
they were really operating on such gossamer-
thin margin that it was hardly worth talking
about. Today they say the same-only more
so-and they spend millions to prove how little
they earn
well, fifteen years ago, when they told it to
Mr. Garfield, the combined net worth of the five
Chicago packers, shown by their books, was
$s2.14s.ooo. Operating as they say practically
for nothing. their combined net worth this year is
$479,o55,000 During the fifteen years ss7,93o,0OO
new money has been put into the business and
$1o5.93s,0 900 cash dividends have been drawn
out"
Commissioner Colver calls this alleged ANAL
gamation of competing food products the
1920 model of the trust" He says that the
earlier type of trust, such the Standard Oil,
but rattle-trap, four-cylinder affair COM
pared with his 1920 model that the first forms
of trusts united competing dealers in the same
product. while this one unites competing prod
ucts and commodities Everybody remembers
the fight which President Roosevelt conducted
against the meat packers in 1906. for his meat
inspection bill. 1t was long, bitter. acrimonious
but President Roosevelt won, for the public.
The meat packers now boast, Commissioner

food item needed for the American table is in
cluded in the output of some of their members.
