.HENEY CHARGES POOR
NAN ROBBED OF MEAT
investigator Says Packers Got
IlIegItmate Profit On
Food Supplies.

Los Angeles, May l4.-The govern
ment overlooked a chance to give the
poor man an opportunity to buy bacon
and canned meat at reasonable price
when the war department agreed to
hold from the American market surplus
army canned beef and bacon, Francis s..
Heney, who investigated the packers,
told the United Press today.
Throwing this meat on the market,
if widely distributed, would have no
serious effect on prices to the producer
of meat, Heney declared, because, con
sidered beside the total meat eonsump-
tiOn, the amount is small.
Hency charged the Chicago packers
have already made two profits on ,nv
meat involved The first profit was set
when the government fixed the price
for the meat. This price, he said, con
templatcd the packers paying IS per
hundred pounds TO the producer for
beef.
- am informed that the packers real
ly paid an average Of sl7j per hundred
pounds less than the IS contemplated By
the government for this beer me-
declared. 'That mean an iilegitimate
profit Of approximately s3,J00,oD0.
Practically the same thing occurred
az to bacon.
1t seems TO me the government
should be a bit more soiieitous above
the labor market and need not worry
50 much about the market for meat''
Heney sdded. Meat Is withheld from
the market because It might disarrange
market conditions. But at the same
time do not hear any wall from pack
ers Or other profiteers over the gov
ernmcnt : policy in throwing discharged
soldiers onto the labor market without
regard 10 the labor market 5 eondi-

2. They charge the democratic party
with gross mismanagement of public af.
fairs, particularly with respect to rail

4. They wait to create party which

Other sources from which third party
lslk has beea coming include returned

tain progressive congressman urging a

come mostly from the "thinking west. y
This embryonic third party movement
has so far found no sponsor in congress
and may never find one. 1t has { num-
Der of influential friends there, how
ever. one of whom today declared it
should not be confused with bolshevist
unrest or socialist propaganda. In fact
a number of those letter writers who
have urged the step have stated that
neither of the two great parties seems
to have any adequate program for cont
batting bolshevism in this country and
declared the only way to do it-in the
languages of one of them-"is to get
men in power in this country who will
attend TO home affairs for the good of
the American people, without thinking
so much about reforming Europe on the
one hand or about tinkering with the
tariff for partisan advantage on the
other"

BRITISH RUN MEXICO?
ABSURD SAYS POLK
Acting Secretary of State
Brands Story as "Mis-
cheviouS."

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Actin5
Secretary of state Polk today cilarac-
terized the published story of possible
british mandatory over Mexico as
absurd and mischievous." He said
:Ierc had never been any such sus-
gestion made except in some newspa-
pers and that no such mandatory had
ever been contemplated. He said
that under the covenant of the League
of nation there had been no sugges-
lions for mandatories except for Ger
man colonies and for parts of the
Turkish empir-
MIR Polk added that casual read
ing of the covenant OF the league OF
nations in the section which guar
antees the protection of the rights ana
policies embodied in the Monroe Doc
trine ought to be sufficient to the av'
erage mind to show that a mandatory
over Mexico by any European nation
would not be contemplated.
