REFRIGERATOR GAR
 OPERATION BY BIG FIVE DEFENDED BY ! MANY WITNESSES
Denunciation of Packers by Federal Trade Commission Characterized by One Wit
 ness as Wilful Misrepre-
 sentatiOn or Ignorance
By Associated Pres.

Washington, August 23. Refrigerator car operations of the five big packers were de- fended today before the Senate agriculture committee, which is considering the Kenyon and Kendrick bills for regulating the packing industry and the separation from it from the operation of such cars.
 C. B. Heineman. representing the National Livestock exchange, who said he had been connected with packer traffic departments for 12 years said that they were not the source of 'dis- crimination against wholesale grocers and other packer competitors. lie characterizes the denunciation by the federal trade commission and others of the effects of packer ownership of the cars as "wilful misrepresentation or demonstrations of blissful ignorance
 MT. Helneman was preceued on she stand by a series of retailers, pro- ducers and others who all had objec- tions to make to the regulating bills.
 Packers would just as soon have the railroads own these cars" he said. "if 1t were possible for them to get cars when they were needed. It is ab- solutely false to say that they secure freight rate discrimination in favor of the packers.
 '-The interstate commerce comm s. sion has passed upon all phases of their operation. It is ready today to act on any complaint. Goods shipped in the cars take exactly the same rate classifications as those shipped in any thing else.'

FINNISH REDS
 BRUTAL KILLERS
 REPORT CLAIMS
Victims Are Murdered In Terrible Manner Says
 Lutheran Report

A report just received from Fin land by the European Relief Com mittee of the National Lutheran Council, 4s7 Fifth Ave-, New York, indicates how desperate conditions are there at present. The report was sent by Prof. G. T. Ryghm, one of the Lutheran Commissioners now in Europe. It follows in part:
 '"The story of the murderous methods of the Finnish Reds would fill volumes. In fact, their worse than bestial ferocity cannot be described in print. More than a thousand mur- ders were committed by them with every conceivable variation of bru- tality and heartlessness. The narra- tive of the torturing and murder of ten pastors alone is such, that it can be told only in whispers. A faithful minister seventy years of age was bayonneted in his bed. Another clergyman was kicked and pinioned by a Red guardsman, while two others cut a cross on his breast and rubbed salt in the gashes. A third, Pastor Taube, after being tortured for hours, was buried alive.
 "Scores of similar crimes might be narrated. They have been corrobor- ated not only by inquests and investt- cations, but also by the confessions Of the Red themselves. A number of young men conscript in the Travast country were taken to the railway station of Riihimaki and, upon their refusing to take up arms, were im- pr1soned in the Russian barracks at that place. Very soon, however, Riihimaki was doomed to fall before the onward march of the 'Whites, " Guards imprisoned Tavastian farmers to fall into the hands of their deltverers, the Reds" decided to murder them. The 'Reds'-and this time they were not men but armed women-p1aced them selves at the doors and began firing; haphazard at the prisoners. The un- fortunates rushed back and forth in terror and were shot down. The re- suit was twelve dead and ten wound ed. Of the latter, two had become demented. In the city of Viborg q similar scene was enacted, one dif- ference being that instead of shoot ing the prisoners, they threw hand grenades at them. The effect was horrible: thirty-fve were killed, a large number wounded.
 Finally something must be said about the great place of execution which the Reds arranged at Kouvola Station. The Reds themselves ad- mitted that they had put to death about four hundred persons at this place. More than two hundred dead bodies have been found, some dug down in 8 swamp, some thrown into the river. But many have been car rfed away by the river and will prob ably never be found
 Among those murdered at this place was the president of the great est industrial plant in Finland and a member of the Chamber of Com merce of Ffnland-Gesta Biorken- hein- He made the community an example of good relationship between employer and employee on the lines Of the most progressive principles. Though his own workmen took his lie, he was not the victim of Der sona1 hatred or revenge but rather or hatred of the industrial sys- tenn.

BISHOP OUTLINES
 SOCIAL POLICY OF EPISC0P PALCHURCH
Suggests Stand for Principle of Collective Bar
 gaining

T Detroit, Mich, Oct. .22-Posstbility of 8 division in the Protestant Epis- copa1 Church was brought to the at- tention of the triennia1 general con- venuon here again yesterday during a fight on the floor of the House of Deputies against the acceptance of prayer for the blessing of graves.
 Thomas Nelson Page, former Unit ed States Ambassador to Italy, de- nouncing the adoption of prayers for dead, swayed the delegates to such an extent that the prayer objected to was rejected. Before you know it you will find your church divided" he said. Better be divided than that we be led into paths we know not. The gentlemen of Prayer Book revis- ion committee received no authority to consider anything touching the doctrines of this church."
 MT. Page introduced a resolution questioning the commission as to it's authority to touch the church doc trines in it's work of revision and ask ing whether such changes had been made.
 Broadening influences sweeping the clergy and membership of the church throw upon the organization an inn portant part in social democratiza- ton, according to bishops, priests and laynen who addressed a joint session earlier today. The man for church unity, it was maintained, is but a small part of the program.
 Bishop Chauncey B. Brewster of Connecticut, in an address outlining the stand of the church in this re- spect declared 'the social democratic trend may be traced to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are witnessing the end of an age of individualism and the coming of an age of social co-op- eration. In the new era the church has a duty"
 Outlining a social policy for the church, Bishop Brewster suggested a where; living wages; the principle of collective bargaining; freedom of the individual worker from coercion; a part for the employed in the internal management of industry; a weekly rest day; stopping of exploitation of labor of women and children; plac ing economics on a broader human basis; reorganization of industry which must be an end to autocratic mastership; and an end to paternal patronage in welfare work and req sonable relations of partnership be- tween capital and labor.
 The speaker voiced belief that al- though the industrial conference in Washington might not accomplish that for which it was called, t'the trained minds of capital and labor will yet work out a just solution of their problems"
