"BIG FIVE" PACKERS ARE
TRUST, DECLARES HENEY

The big packers undoubtedly are
liable under the Sherman law and
it's amendments and the Clayton law
Francis J. Heney. Federal Trade Com
mission Investigator, testified today
before the Senate Agricultural Com
mittee as to the activities OF the big
Five" packers.
The packers, Heney declared, had
SO unified the several traffic, buying
and selling branches that they could
all buy at n low cost and arrange for
the prevention fover-supplying any
city and thereby bringing down the
price Of meat.
With their traffic departments.
Heney said, they welded traffic
vlubs" over the rest of the country
and forced them to buy dumping
posts" made by subsidiary countries
from which the profits were almost
fabulous" These pumping posts
arc used on refrigerator cars, and, in
testifying as to specific instances.
Heney mentioned the name OF the
Mechanical Manufacturing Company,
a subsidiary Of Swift's.

BUILDING URGED
TO AID JOBLESS

With the number of unemployed
rapidly increasing, the Labor Depart
ment urges that all public building
I or Improvement work, held up by the
war, be resumed at once to help re-
lieve the situation.
Labor reports show that work OF
this kind Is not being resumed to any
EsppEeciable extent. Cnfavorable
weather and the hope that prices
will drop are believed to be the
cause.
Work on 500 public school houses,
the cost Of which is nearly 100000.
600, was held up by the war, accord
ing to department figures. Immedi-
ate resumption OF this work would
provide work for at least 200, 900 men,
it Is estimated Other public building
work would provide work for an
other 100000. 1t is estimated.
The total cost OF the schools, Z. T.
Miller, director of the public works
division of~the Labor Department.
points out, means a per capita cost
OF 81. AS this is usually divided up
into twenty-year bonds, the yearly
cost would be 8 cents per person. A
decrease Of 20 per cent in building
costs is all that will develop in the
next few years, Miller believes, and
this would mean a per capita saving
Of only ] cent a year.

PACKERS TO.REPLY
TO TRUST CHARGES

Packers will appear before Congress
next week to defend themselves
against charges OF unfair control OF
the meat business.
Stock growers. Federal trade CON-
mission agents. and Francis J.
Heney, formerly special counsel in
the Governments packers investiga-
ton, have laid huge masses of evil
dence before both House and Senate
committees. They have accused pack
ers OF UNFAIR domination of live stock
trading and of higa.handed control
over stock yards
''One evil that should be renedied
is packer control Of the stock yards,
declared E. w. Houx, president Of
the Kansas City Live Stock EN-
change. "If the yards could be
divorced from the packing houses we
could get more packing houses. which
we sorely need" he added. Norris &
Co. control the Kansas City yards
according to Houx.

WAR RISKS COST
US. S9OO,0OO,0O0

The war has cost the Government
approximately 5000. 900, 900 in death
and disability claims On insurance
carried by soldiers, sailors, and ma
rines, according to figures made pub
lie here. Against this sum the War
Risk Insurance Bureau has collected
500, ,0O0,0 in premiums.
Death claims and permanent disa-
bility claims, which pay the same un-
der the law, aggregate about IS, 900.
1t was stated. Death claims represent
between 10000 and 65, 900 of the total
Payment of the claims is being
pushed, Col Henry .. Lindsey, chief
OF the War Risk Bureau, said. The
lists have been checked over, and the
monthly compensation is going for
ward, he reported. These will con-
t!nue for twenty years unless pro-
posed changes are made in the insur-
ance policies. If the changes under
consideration are made, the monthly
payments would be spread out over
the life of the beneficiary instead Of
ceasing automatically at the end of
twenty years. Tho question, being
wholly an actuarial problem, is ex.
pectcd TO be decided soon.

SW|TCHMEN DENIED
R. R. PAY INCREASE

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 1o.-Rail-
road switchmen are not entitled to
pay on an eight-hour basis under pro-
visions OF the Adamson act. Federal
Judge John L. Mccall ruled here.
This decision, the first in the Unit
ed States in such a case. affects thou
sands Of switchmen. Judge Mccall
held in effect that only workers who
are actual members of train crews
are entitled to the benefits of the act
The decision was given in a test
case brought by H p. Coke, a switch
man, against the Yazoo 6 Mississippi
Valley Railroad. Coke sued for S2T4
additional pay claimed due him un-
der the Adamson act.
Judge Mccall ruled that while the
AdamsOn law might be broadly in
terpreted to include all railroad
workers, the circumstances surround
ing enactment of the act showed it
was passed simply to prevent a
strike of the four big brotherhoods;
hence other workers were not in
cIuded in its provisions.
An immediate appeal of the de-
cision will be taken to the Federal
Court of Appeals.

Taking its stand on President Will
sons principle of "open covenants
openly arrived at" the senate commit
tee on foreign relations to consider the
peace treaty met Monday. Senator
Johnson, California, brought forward
a resolution embodyipg a demand for
data of every character relating to the
treaty and its formulation. 1t called
for the suppressed plan for a League
Of Nations submitted to the peace con-
ference by President Wilson, which the
president admits was rejected in ia
vor of the British plan, and also called
for the stenographic reports of the
peace negotiations. 1t was adopted
Tuesday by the committee.
Tuesday, after a heated debate, the
senate, without a record vote, adopted
Senator Lodges resolution calling on
President Wilson to submit to the SEN
ate the text of the secret treaty nego-
tiated last year by Japan and Germany
and all other data showing overtures
made by the mikado's government to
the central powers during the war.
Throughout the debate the fighting
revolved about the S%hantung incident.
Senator Lodge, Republican leader,
charged that the Shantung peninsula
was "the purchase price for Japan's
signature to the League of Nations
covenant" Senator Moses of New
Hampshire, a Republican member of
the foreign relations committee, called
ii a "bribe," and Senator Norris of Ne
braska, Republican, denounced it as
san outrage" and "a betrayal"
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska I'M
dertook to defend Japan's right to
Shantung, but Senator Williams of
Mississippi, Democratic member of the
foreign relations committee, frankly
admitted that if President Wilson had
not yielded in the Shantung affair
Japan would have broken off from the
allies and negotiated a separate treaty
with Germany. Realizing the close re-
lations between Senator Williams and
the White House, senators attached
much Importance to the Mississippi
members statement that Japan would
never give up Shantung again without
a war.
"If that's the challenge we might
as we'll settle it now," said Senator
Borah of Idaho, Republican.
Thursday was marked by lively SEN
ate proceedings. Senator Borah, Re
publican, Idaho, called upon the league
supporters to join him in securing q
referendum. Senator Sherman, Repub'
lican, Illinois, made IN address warn

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

MANY people have thought that
the mere signing of the treaty with
Germany marks the ending of the
world peril. The situation today is
still serious. The worlds statesman
ship will be sorely tried in the next
few years.
THE peace conference has been
history's greatest instance of a uni
fed world craftsmanship directing
Memorial nd-Materiial resources ct
the worlds family of nations. To al
low the spirit behind it to disintegrate
at this moment of emergency, when.
united action is imperative, would be
fatal to all the hopes of permanent
peace with which we entered the war.
"Out of it all has come the most
important international document
ever drawn-the treaty of peace with
Germany-a document which not only
meets the issues Of the present war,
but also lays down new agreements
of the most helpful and most hopeful
character. The nations are bound to-
gether to avert another world catas-
trophe, backward peoples are given a
new hope for their future; several
racial entities are liberated to form
new states; a beginning is made to-
ward removing unjust economic re-
s%trictions, and the great military au-
t~ocracies of central Europe r de-
stroyed as the first step in a general
disarmament.
1.-The treaty is, of course, not all
that we had hoped for. Too many
conflicting interests were involved.
Nearly every one will find in it weak
nesses, both of omission and commits
sion.
II come home pleased, but not over
complacent with the outcome of the
last six months; HOPEFUL, but not in
the least unmindful of the problems
yet to be solved"
