ARMOUR AND SWIFT SAY
| THEY WELCOME SUITS

CHICAGO, August Heads of
Chicago packing companies announced
that they would welcome suits under
1.-THE antitrust laws, which Attorney
General Palmer announced in Wash
ington yesterday would be started
against the great meat packing firms.
J. Ogden Armour and Louis F. Swift,
heads of the two larger concerns, said
the suits would AFFORD opportunity to
show before an impartial body that
the packers did not control prices and
were not responsible for the high cost
of meat.
IT confidently believe legal action in
any form against the packers will
prove that we are not responsible for
the high cost of meat and that we are
not profiteers," said Mr.. Armour. 1--WE
welcome this opportunity to prove
that we can control neither the price
paid for livestock nor the price we
receive for our product.
He added that economic conditions
out of which the situation arises ARE
SO deep that no single agency Is re-
sponsible. This procedure" he cont1n-
ued, "can be made to show the part
played in high prices by such basic
factors as production costs. wages
! freight rates and high taxes occa-
stoned bv war"

stock products at as low a price as IL
humanity possible. considering the
price that we have to pay for 1fvk
animals. ~ !
Now as to the advance in the
price Of hides. While hides have beeh
advancing rapidly. this has not meanh
large profits to Swift & Co. Higher
prices Of hides have been passed Oh
in the form Of higher cattle prices ank
lower meat prices. The 1-s OF a cent
per pound profit includes the return
upon hides at their market value. :
II want to say further that Swift &
Co. is in keen competition with all
other packers and 1t Is impossible to
manipulate the prices of meat in any
way. Fresh meat is a perishable
product and has to be sold within the
week in Washington for what it will
bring.
Furthermore, no legislation or gov.
eminent interference in connection
with the packing industry could pos
sibly reduce meat prices. Rather such
interference would be more likely to
increase operating costs and hence
raise prices"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-08-07

no trouble getting men to testify to 1t
il it were so.
With regard to refrigerator cars
Mr.. Wilson said that he had no OBJ
lection to the governments building
them and leasing them to any OF the
packers. He said he would like to
lease about 1000 refrigerator cars for
his own company.
William blessing, head Of the beef
department Of the Cudahy Company,
offered the services of his company to
the committee in obtaining all the
facts regarding the costs of meats.
ETC.. In order to find a remedy for
the high cost of living.
THE packer, as you know. Is but
a middleman between the livestock
producer and the retailer" he said.
This is fundamental, cheap meats
cannot be produced from high priced
animals. The public usually judges
the packer from the standpoint Of the
price of porterhouse steak delivered
by automobile in response to tele-
phone order. or by lamb chops on the
menu of fashionable restaurant.
The fact is that the packer is no way
responsible for either.
THE packer takes the raw ma
terial, the live animal, Of a value of.

that only through efficient manage

Operated at q Loss"

He told the committee that Wilson
& Co. had been operating its branch
in Washington at a loss during the
last two or three weeks. The beef Is
sold here. he said, for all the COM
pany's agents can get for 1t. The re-
tailers, knowing that beef Is plentiful,
drive hard bargains for it. He testi-
fed that his company had no control
whatever over retail prices, and that
It made no attempt to obtain such
control. In the carcass. u said, beef
shipped to Washington was selling
from 1916 to 22.79 cents . pound, &C
cording to the grade.
Senator Sherman Of Illinois asked
Mr.. Wilson. about the so-called unre-
lated lines of business, including the
grocery business, in which the pack
ers have engaged. Mr.. Wilson said
that the entire business of the big
packers last year In these unrelated
lines amounted to about $100, 000, 900, as
compared to $4,000 100000. the total
grocery business for the country. and
$1,000, 100000. the total business Of
the packers.
He insisted that the packers have
not combined to tx prices for tho pur-
chase Of cattle or for the sale Of
goods. He said that IL such q thing
were attempted, 100 man must know it

Of ali the states or the UnlOn, none was closer to the heart of Roosevelt than Arizona. It was from this state that he took his first Rough Riders that sterling body of hard-riding, hard-hitting fighters that leaped into sudden and lasting fame in Cuba and the history of which forms one of the most brilliant chapters in the military history of this country.
 In Cochise countyan particularly in Bisbee, has the call been heard and preparations been made to answer 1t. With the receipt of the first intelli- gence concerning the proposed memo rial the citizens of this city and the surrounding country resolved that, as has always been the case, Bisbee should be foremost in giving to the proposal such support as would be in keeping with her ideals and her Americanism.
 The working committee which is in charge of the solicitation of funds un- der the state executive committee, un- der Gov. Thomas E. Campbell, is head. ed by J. c. Ryan, with Thomas A. Egan, secretary of the Warren Dis. trict Commercial club as secretary. The other members of the committee gre as follows: 3
 Ira B. Jerolaman, Warren; W. Fl. Webster. Douglas; J. N. Gaines. Tombson; A. P. Smith, Benson: H. A Morgan, Wilcox; c. RI. Renault, Pearce; John Penberthy, Gleeson; J. A. Jaque, Bowie; J. H Chamberlain. San Simon; Arthur Heney, Fairbanks; William Goodman, St. David; John Towner, Naco; William Johnson, Hereford; G. J. McCabe, Garces; Wm. Riggs, Dos Cabezos; Miss Elsie Toles. county school director.
 The state executive committee in- cludes Thomas E. Campbell. state chairman, Phoenix; James H. McClin- tock, campaign director, Phoenix; Dwight B.. Heard, Phoenix; Allen H. Ware. Kingman; John c. Greenway, Warren; James s. Douglas, Douglas; E. S. Clark, Prescott; w. c. Foster. state treasurer.
 To complement the work of the committee in charge in this city. a Warren-Bisbee committed has also been formed, and will take up the task among the churches, business in- terests and social organizations of the district. This committee is headed by Ira B. Joralemon and includes the fol. lowing:
 For the churches: Rev. Compton, Professor Philbrook; Elks' club. MT. Matthew's; Moose, Howard Barkell; Eagles, E. Ollerenshaw; Knights of Columbus, J. P.

 Although the district is to be can vassed thoroughly, 1t is expected by those in charge of the work that the subject will appeal so strongly to the people of this part of the county that a great part of the Bisbee-Warren quota will come in through voluntary donations.

in perpetuating the ideals that he fought so strenuously for
 William Wrigley, Jr."
 T cannot yet think of Theodore Roosevelt without bitterness, that he, who so loved his country and who gave it his all should have been so maligned and during these last years should have been so meanly treated by those who might have mustered his great powers to the service of the war. But it was Roosevelt's fate, as it was Washington's and Lincoln's, to be fought by envious enemies and by them to be held in derision and contempt, He was truly simple. He was as generous, gentle, affectionate and open minded as he was con- stant, strong willed. courageous, high tempered and violent of speech.
 "He had a revulsion, instantaneous and communicable to all who were about him, against the petty and shabby vices of mankind. He hated the more rugged sins, as do all good men, but he utterly loathed hypoc- risy, sloth, cowardice and equivoca- tion It was this in him which made him the greatest moral power in the country. He was himself the essence of our common paradox, the buoyancy and puritanism of America. He re- called to us what lay covered, em- bedded in our hearts-our lover for the simple virtues which had made our fathers great. In spite of the materialism which attended the eX ploitation of virgin continent, the growth of ugly cities, the develop ment of vast industries; in spite of the shabby exploitation of the immi- grants who crowded to our shores; in spite of the crass admiration in which the last generation beheld their sudden millionaires, America cherished its traditions, Roosevelt spoke for those traditions and the country heard, as it were, a familiar voice long silent.
 He was the prophet of the old public morality, to which he brought back our public life. It was he, in ed the dominion of the common wealth over all private power. And when at last he spoke for social jus tice he was the first public man in America to blaze the way along which we all now know we must go.
 "Medil Mccormick" "He was of the west-He was an American.
 He was for America first, last and all the time.
 "He was a hard hitting. free think ing fighter for truth and upright dealing.
 "He WAS an American.
 William s. Hart" When a great man dies, the whole people feels bereaved. The stream of pilgrims, which has been flowing to the grave in which lie the earthly > remains that once held the spirit of Theodore Roosevelt, is the unique and, at the same time, symbolic ex- pression of the love which is flowing in spirit from the whole American people, to his memory. He was closer to the hearts of the people than any leader of his time. No American, since Lincoln, has been such an ex ponent of the genius of America.
