or some other specified return OR the book values of each group. Earnings in excess of the average, he pom nceu out would be set aside for the un- profitable roads that earn less.
 Suggestion put forward by many financiers and railroad men that the government should guarantee fair divi- dends on the book value of the rail roads and leave the management in the hands of the railroad owners, was criticized by Judge Lovett as imprac- ticahle, because he did not believe the government would take all the risk and none of the profits.
 If small return of 2, 8 or 4 per cent were guaranteed, he said, this would not be sufficient to pay the interest on bonds already outstanding.
 It would make doubly surer what is already abundantly secure,'' he con- tinued, but it could afford no coIlat- eral nor new issues nor secure new loans.
 The importance of re-establishing railroad credit cannot be over esti- mated" said Judge Lovett, but nev- ertheless, 1 am persuaded that no guaranty short of a return upon the fair value of railroad property will be helpful to that end, and that a guar anty of full value is not practicable without government operation, which l regard as beyond present discus sion."

MORAL BANKRUPTCY FOR MEAT
 PACKERS VIOLATING FOOD LAWS
That's Club Bill In Congress Holds Over Proeerng Firms

packers license to do business or re- yoke it entirely.
 The packer then has the right of appeal to the Circuit Court of Alp peals of his district, which, after con sidering the evidence heard by the secretary of agriculture may affirm or set aside the order suspending or revoking the license. If the order is affirmed, the court issues an injunc- tion against the carrying on of busi- ness.
 The Commissioner Of Foodstuffs then applies to the U. s. district court to appoint a receiver for the property, who has all the powers of a receiver in cases of financial bank ruptcy Application for the discharge of the receiver may be made either by the commissioner, the receiver, or the packer, and the receiver, after a hearing, may be then discharged by the court. At the same time the court is required to enjoin the packer from further violations of the law.
 This receivership and moral bank ruptcy" are among several new fea- lures in the bill, which was written as the consensus of weeks of confer ences by the men in curbing the dom- ination by the packers of the food supplies of the country.

N. E. A. Washington Bureau 1128-1134 Munsey Bldg.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July IL Members of congress who are fight ing the meat trust have worked out an entirely new method for control ling the great Chicago packers and helping to reduce the cost of living.
 It's embodied in the Kenyon-Ander- son bill, which has met the approval of all those interested in the abate- ment of the abuses of packer SOW ereignty, and has just been introduced in both houses of congress.
 Here's the idea:
 When a merchant is unable to pay his debts his business is put in the hands of a receiver, who manages it until it is once more on a firm finan- cial foundation, when he turns it back to the owner, purged of debt.
 That's called financial bankruptcy.
 The same principle has been applied to the case of the packers, although instead of financial bankruptcy it's called MORAL bankruptcy.
 When any packer violates any of the provisions of hte Kenyon-Ander- son act, which places him under li- cense, he is to be declared a moral bankrupt, and his business is to be turned over to a receiver. This re- ceiver is to run the business in the public interest until it is evident that the packer can obey the law, when his business is to be returned to hom.
 This proceeding is quite simple" {" said William B. Colver, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, who has done more than any one man to expose the iniQuity of the meat trust. Tt simply adopts the procedure of the courts everywhere in this coun- try. By it the packing firms are not dispossessed of their property; they are merely placed under suspension by the courts because they cannot be trusted to operate their business properly
 There is no opportunity for un- fairness or for political chicanery in this measure. Neither the federal trade commission nor any other de partment of the government will have , anything to do with it; the courts, which everybody, even big business agrees are absolutely impartial, will run the packers business until they can be trusted to run it themselves.
 The bill provides that the president shall appoint a commissioner of food stuffs under the department of agri culture to enforce the legislation When this commissioner finds that a packer is violating the law, he serves notice upon him to appear before the secretary of agriculture for a hearing If the secretary of agriculture finds from the evidence that the law has been violated, he may suspend the

Labor Vital Factor

Now, let us sum up the situation: Doctor Garfield urges early buying and storing for two reasons-a prob able scarcity of coal and an inevit- able higher price.
 It is apparent that not enough coal can be mined this fall and winter to supply the certain abnormal demand of both domestic and industrial buy ing.
 You cannot force camel through a needles eye. Neither can you force an unusually large full years demand into few monrhes of production.
 It is not question of coal. Un- bounded supplies are in the ground. The problem is getting the labor to dig it.
 The forthcoming and fast-approach- ing shortage of man-power is going to cripple production. A crippled pro duction means coal shortage.
 And yet, granting that the labor problem can be solved, there still is left the transportation question.
 MT. Hines tells us there won't be enough cars to haul coal even if we get the men to mine it, if we delay
 
 this summer.
 Using the simple law of deduction, it would seem buying now and storing is the natural--the obvious-thing to do.
 Therefore, the avoidene of a coal famine this fall lies with the coal dealer and the consumer of coal. These two can solve the problem and and avert a national calamity, and the burden of the responsibility lies with them
 Let the dealer, through personal ap- peals and newspaper advertising to his trade, encourage the filling of coal bins this summer. Let the large user of coal buy his supplies and stock up now.
 And, furthermore, let them start on this plan immediately.

termination, of the war and the uncer- tainty of railroad management caused the writers of the bill to drop the scheme proposed in the last congress for government ownership of the stockyards. Instead a system of li- censing has been introduced.
 Under this system the secretary of agriculture will demand that the pack CTS confine themselves to the occupa- tion for which they secure a license. AS the federal trade commission re- vealed some months ago, the five big packing concerns control 562 different corporations producing food or other supplies which have no relation to the packing business.
 The Kenyon-Anderson bill compels them to the business of meat packing
 ''The secretary of agriculture" it says, "either on his own initiative or on petition of the commissioner of foodstuffs, may require the licensee to refrain from direct or indirect partic- iratioR in the purchase, manufacture, storage, or sale of foodstuffs or com modities other than those handled in the business for which the license was issued, either by ownership, con trol, community or stockholding, or otherwise"

GOAL SHOULD
 BE BOUGHT AND , STOREO NOW
A Summary of the Situation as Viewed by Unbiased Auth critics Who Forecast a Prob able Shortage and a Higher Price.

The nation faces an inevitable scar city of coal and higher prices this will develop into the seriousness of an old-fashioned famine.
 Nc, less an authority than Dr. Har- " IA Garfield, U. s. Fuel Administrator stands sponsor for this statement. Other government bureau chiefs agree with him.
 There is a little ray of hope in Dr. Garfields startling announcement however The distressing situation which a scarcity of coal invariably brings, can be minimized. Therefore, the calamity of an actual famine may be averted.
 The possible remedy, says Doctor Garfield, lies in an early buying move ment. This is the nations only chance.
 But, our councelor warns signifi- cantly, this remedy must be applied at once. There cannot be further postponement.
 Each day early buying is delayed adds to ther difficulties of fall deliver ies.
 This serious shortage of coal is for casted not only by Doctor Garfield and the Fuel Administration, but by three other government beureaus.

 SOLUTION WADE
 BY ROBT. .LOVETT

NEW YORK, July 12.-Consolida tion of all the railroads of the United States into few large systems-from F to 25-as a possible solution of the nations railroad problem, is opposed by Robert S. Lovett, president of the Union Pacific railroad, in a memoran- dunn to congress made public here to- day. Judge Lovett for a time was di- rector of the division of capital ex- penditures of the government railroad administration under William G. Mic Adoo as director general.
 The effect of the proposed consoli- dation, would be, in his opinion, ito impair the credit of the strong roads, instead of improving the credit of the weak roads. The inevitable effect would be to reduce the average of credit of all the railroads"
 Congress" he asserted, ''has no right to compel one railroad to consoIi-
 date with another. It may give one the right to acquire the property of the other by condemnation, but it must pay for it, and here is the difficulty, pay for it in cash.
 ''The underwriting of fabulous amount must be provided Will con gress appropriate the billions neces- sary? Have we bankers enough to provide the money except by a series of years? And what will happen to the financial welfare of the country in the meantime?
 My judgment is against the con solidation of all the railroads of the country into a few large systems, be- cause the companies will be too large and too unweildly for efficient and economical management I believe that the absorption of some of the weak lines by the strong lines, upon fair terms, should be promoted, but competition in service and facilities should not only, be preserved, but should be extended"
 Judge Lovett also opposed the plan which has been discussed for pooling the net earnings of railroads by di- viding them into groups and establish ing rates sufficient to yield per cent

 So, whichever way the pendulum of chance swings-whether Uncle Sam runs the railroads or private owner ship resumes their peration-freight rates will be increased and this, if Senator Cummins and the Republican party have their say-and majority parties usually do-will come by July 1 of this year.
 Higher freight rates add to the costs. of coal. This is still another reason why dealers and consumers should get the early buying habit at once.
