boxed four rounds to a draw in a no
decision bout with Bill Gracey. of To-
peka, light heavyweight champion of
the 35th division, at the city audi
forum Monday night.
The minister of the gospel, in his
fighting toys. demonstrated the
punches OF the pugilistic art TO a fine
point. and he had an opponent worthy
of his steel. Neither of the boxers
was in form for the bout. as they had
taken no preliminary training. The
chaplain had just come from a big
fried chicken dinner. The bout, how
ever. was fast and scientific. Capt.
w. p. MacLean officiated as referee.
Entertainment Success.
Judging from the applause rendered
by the audience the American Legion
entertainment was a great success.
The program was varied enough to
appeal to every type. Music was fur
nished by the Ninth Battalion band,
which opened at s o'clock with an
overture.

two ex-soldiers and two ex-sailors,

rather than a liability. His powerful

genial ioviality, scored a tremendous
hit. Half a dozen times a vociferous
audience called him back on the stage

MEAT PACKERS
ARE FRIGHTENED
Said to Be Trying to Prevent
Regulating Legislation
by Congress
FLOODING MEMBERS
WITH KILOGRAMS
Want to Defeat the Kenyon-Anderson
Bill-Notifed Stock and Bond Hold
ers to Do Everything to Prevent Gov
eminent Control

WASHINGTON, July ls.-Alarmed
over the prospect of governmental control
of the meat packing industry in the Uni
ted States, the big packers have mobil-
lied all their forces and have started
powerful back fire on congress to prevent
the enactment into law of the pending
Kenyon Anderson bill. In the last few
DAYS thousands of kilograms from pack
ers and the stockholders in the packing
concerns have virtually swamped the SEN
ate and house office buildings.
Progressive senator's, including William
s. Kenyon of Iowa and John b. kendrici
of Wyoming, declared yesterday that the
attack on the federal trade commission
contemplated in the Sherman resolution,
| ordering an investigation of the activities
of Commissioner William B. Colver, while
| in Great Britain, is part and parcel of the
| back fire to stem legislation and in line
with the attempts made by certain ele
ments i'll the senate to Submarine" the
| federal trade commission by withholding
appropriations
Senator Sherman charged in his resolu
tion that the falling in the meat market
/ is due to the refusal of Great Britain tC
import more meat, and that this refusa
| is due to the statements made i'll Great
| Britain against the packers by Mn Col
| ver
Senator Kenyon, on the other hand
! pointed out that a. special commission ap
pointed by the British government to in
vestigate the cost of living after the arms
tice had substantially reached tn,
| same conclusion as that reached by tn
federal trade commission, the department
of agriculture and two committees of con
gress
Senator Kenyon predicted that tn
sherman resolution would not get yer
far, as it manfestly reflects the wishe
of those members of congress who ar
unwilling to brook any governmental ii
reference with big business
Swift 4 Co. and Cudahy & Co have n,
titled the stock and bond holders in the;
several concerns that no stone must b
left unturned to prevent the passage
any bill that would destroy the monopol
or diminish the autonomy of the bi
packers by putting them under a licen
7 ing system The packers urge anothC
: complete and exhaustive investigation,

SAYS LABOR KNOWS IT HAS POWER TO RULE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Some of the dangers confronting the industrial world from unemployment were em- phasized today by A. l.. Filene. a Bos- ton merchant, testifying before the senate labor committee, which is con sidering labor legislation.
 In urging cooperation of eXtensiv- national and state and city employ ment bureaus, MT. Filene said he feared that unless business men had learned the lesson of the war, d great deal of unrest would result.
 Declaring that if business men waited for trouble they would force the formation of a labor party, MT Filene said:
 The masses are beginning to see that they have d power they may use constructively, but if prevented from doing that, destructively. No longer can the ten per cent run the great ninety per cent.
 Referring to the reconstruction pro gram recently outlined by the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, Mr. F'ilene told the committee he believed capital and labor could agree on so per cent of the reforms proposed. He predicted that the period of unemployment due to demobiliZation of the army. would last from three to six months, and that after industry got good start, there would be no serious unemployment in this country. for several years.

He stated his belief that Q cen traliZed system of industrial control and adjustment of disputes, which he admitted would entail governmental recognition of trades unionism and collective bargaining. would put Amer ican industry on a stable basis and minimize strikes.

 The deputation expresses itself strongly against the Finnish govern ments treatment of the islands in sending Military Governor Fon Bond sorff there with Finnish speaking troops and in treating the islanders as rebels.
