to be blown up occasionally, and others
let them freeze by their carelessness and

any husband will be tender and good

properly cooked. In selecting husband

PRESIDENT TO ASK
new FOOD BOARD

A virtual re-enactment Of the Lever
food control law. with its scope
greatly broadened, is among the
Communications, it was understood
today, that President Wilson will
make to Congress when he addresses
a joint session tomorrow afternoon on
the high cost Of living. ,..
The Lever law is the weapon with
which the Department of Justice to-
day was waging it's war on food
profiteers and hOarders. 1t is a war
measure, however, and in the opinion
OF Attorney General Palmer auto
matically will cease to be operative
with the ratification OF the peace
treaty by the Senate. The Attorney
General has made it plain that the
"big fellow" can be reached by the
provisions of this act, and he has as
sembled the whole machinery OF his
department for procedure under It,
Meanwhile, the President was put
ting the finishing touches on his mes
sage today. Substantially it has been
completed, but even those in his con-
fdence have not been informed of its
contents.
The fact that tho President selected
4 o'clock in the afternoon as the time
for its presentation to Congress was
accepted in official circles
today as designed to guard against
any undue influence upon the market.

other actions against monopolies.
The decision to prosecute the pack
ers, which was announced late yester-
day, was the result of the examina
ton of the records against the five
big concerns by Palmer, Clyne, and
Williams. They went over not only
the reports of the Federal Trade Com.
mission but also numerous other
complaints in possession of the De-
partment of Justice.
Prosecutor Clyne was at the Depart
ment of Justice with assistants until
after , o'clock this morning outlining
the details of the prosecution of the
packers. He has remained in Wash
ington for the purpose of inspecting
proof here and comforting with Ad-
ministration officials engaged in the
campaign TO lower food prices.
Grand Jury to Get Evidence.
While Mr.. Clyne was not prepared
to announce just what steps would be
taken Immediately against the pack
ers, he said that information will be
presented to the Federal grand jury
within three weeks. 1t Is also known
that civil suits will be instituted as
soon as the petitions can be prepared.
Mr.. Clyne, who is forty-two years
old, was Special Assistant Attorney
General in 1913 and was a member OF
the economic efficiency commission of
Illinois. He was appointed United
States attorney in September, 1914.

Prosecutor Clyne, who has the
reputation of being a "scrapper,"

advancing rapidly this has not meant

prices of hides have been passed on

Furthermore, no legislation or Gov

PLUMB PLAN AIMED
AT WATERED STOCK
Copyright. 1913.
BY r. L Goldberg

According to a statement today by
Warren S. Stone, chief of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers, the
Plumb plan Of public control Of the
railroads contemplates squeezing
every gill of water from the stocks Of
the railroads of this country, and
bringing them under Government con-
troll on the basis Of actual valuation"
"I want to make two points very
clear" said Chief Stone. "Q) II our
plan is adopted by Congress the rail-
roads will be bohded by the Govern
ment on actual valuation The rail-
roads are now capitalized at about
SIG, O00, O0O,O OO Not more than $12,-
600. OO0. 900 of this amount represents
actual value-the rest is water. 1t is
time that this financial camoufiage
Mas taken down.
zone need only study such typical
cases of high finance in the railroads
as the Erie, under Gould, or the more
recent Rock Island financial outrage
to understand why the railroads have
staggered under the weight Of water.
On an honest valuation 1 certainly do
believe that the American people will
buy Government RAILROAD bonds at 4
or Al per cent. There could be no
safer security. j
"2-Despite our frequent reitera-
ton, both in the press and before Con-
gress, that this movement for public
control OF the railroads has nothing
to do with any demand for higher
wages, notice that many newspapers
attribute to US this Interior motive.
Pretty soon the people OF this coun-
try will get the truth-that organized
labor in the United States is in dead
earnest in this demand for public
control. A condition has arisen in
the country which makes increased
wages perfectly futile so far as any
permanent relief is afforded the av-
erage working man and his family.

IMPROVEMENT SEEN
IN SHOPMEN STRIKE

The situation brought about by the
strike of railroad shopmen in various
sections of the country is improving,
according to statements issued today
from the Railroad Administration and
from the railroad department of the
American Federation of Labor.
The Administration estimated the
number of strikers at 10000, and the
Federation at $4,000. Both, however,
stated that many of the men are re-
turning to their jobs that they may
participate in the strike vote to be
returned August "a.
The strike has completely tied up a
few of the smaller railroads in the
South, it was stated, and in some sec
tiOns where local conditions warrant
ed such action, freight embargoes
have been ordered by the local Of
ficials. No embargoes have been or
dered by the Administration, it was
added.

EXORBITANT

Charges that the big Five" pack
ers are reaping exorbitant prices in
the Washington market were refuted
this afternoon before the Senate Dis
trict subcommittee by representatives
OF Swift & Co., who produced figures
showing that the company realized
q profit of only one-ninth of a cent
a pound on beef sold in the District
during the five weeks ending Au-
gust 2.
L. D. H. Weld, manager of the de-
partment of commercial research; J.
NJ. Chaplin, chief accountant, and ].
p. Healy, Of Baltimore, district man
ager Of Swift & Co., were the wit
nesses before the committee when
hearings were resumed on the high
cost Of living.
Senator Balls subcommittee was
invited to examine the books of
Swift & Co.'s local agency. Emphatic
denial was made that the packers are
manipulating prices in Washington,
and Mr.. Weld declared the smaIlness
Of the profit is absolute proof that
our profits have no effect on prices"
ExorbItant Profits Denied.
Mr.. Weld, in a statement before the
committee, said:
1--WE have figures here showing
Swift & Co.'S beef operations in
Washington for the five weeks ended
August 2, including the price paid for
live cattle, each element of expense of
packing house operations, freight, and
selling in detail. All of these expen-
ses together amounted to only 2h
cents per pound of beef sold in Wash
ington in July, and the profit was only
one-ninth Of cent per pound.
Il have here the sales tickets show
ing the price received for each cut Of
beef sold to the retailers during the
week ended July &c. In behalf of
Swift & Co., I am authorized to re-
quest you. II you so desire. to send a
committee or commission Of reputable
public accountants to check and ex-
anime the books of Swift & Co. and to
verify the figures.
Il am submitting figures which
show that Of the total amount we have
received for beef and by-products we
have had to pay out 90 per cent of
this for live cattle and over per
cent for labor, freight and other ex-
penses. Less than 1 per cent was re-
tanned as profits.
The only way to study the effect
of packers profits on prices is to
COMPARE pEOHls Win safes 10 uBuEe
them per pound of product sold. The
smallness Of our profits. as shown by
the figures that I have given you, is
absolute proof that our profits have
ne effect on prices.
Furnish Direct System.
zone important feature of the
packing industry that is commonly
overlooked is the fact that we fur
nish the most direct marketing sys-
tenn possible for meats and the other
products we handle. We buy live
stock in the stockyards of the West.
We kill then "A our own plants. We
