In 1910; Lasater's Testi-
mony Called False.

Washington, D. c., Feb. Discus
ing political campaign contributions
by the big packers. Henry Needer-
counsel for Armour and company. told
the senate agricultural committee that
"a donation was made in 1910 to the
campaign fund Of o. B. Colquitt. who
became governor OF Texas.
DenOunees Lasater Charges
VIM A. Glasgow, jr-, counsel for
the food administration, appearing
Thursday before the house interstate
commerce committee, denounced as
untrue charges made by Edward J..
Lasater. former chief Of the livestock
and markets division Of the food ad-
ministratiOn. that administrator HooT-
er had been influenced by the five
leading meat packers and had dis
eliminated against livestock produc-
ers- He declared Mr.. Lasater,s charges
were inspired by personal grudGe
against Mr.. Hoover. that they were
absolutely without foundation in fact
and that no responsible person should
place any cre6ence in them
Takes Up Each Charge.
Glasgow took up each Of the charges
made by Lasater against the depart
ment and categOrically denied them.
He said the statement that Mr.. Hoover
had conspired with the packers to
uledk AAE nos mar HeN 10 q punt NC
low the cost Of production was pure
Misrepresentation
Replying TO Mr. Lasater's charge
that the food administration had
placed in charge OF departments men
in the employ of the packers. Mr..
Glasgow said. none of the men men
toned had any connection with the
packing interests.
The statement that J. p. Cotton, who
was placed in charge OF the meat di-
vision. was a packer lawyer OF New
York" Mr. Glasgow said, lis abso-
lutely false" Mr.. Cotton was con-
nected in no way whatsoever with the
packers He was selected only after
most careful investigation Of his con-
nections had been made.
same True Of Wheeler.
The same is true OF Harry a.
Wheeler, whom Lasater described as a
packer banker Of Chicago"
The witness explained in detail the
policy of the food administration,
limiting the profits OF the packers.
that the packers should be allowed
large enough margins to operate.
Taking everything into considera-
ton" he said, the packers did a great
service in furnishing supplies TO the
allies and the United States during the
war"
so did the farmers. didn't they
asked representative Sanders. Of.
louisiana
They certainly did" 11r. Glasgow
replied.
The only difference. then. was that
the food administration assured pro-
TITS to the packers and not TO the pro-
du ers2" asked Mr.. Sanders.
Not exactly Mr.. Glasgow replied.
