IN PACKERS INQUIRY
Heney Reads Letters to Sup

Opposed Investigation.

Senate Committee Gets Note

WAsHINGToN. Jan. 16.--ln support OF
the suggestion that Chairman Hurley Of
the Shipping Board had opposed inves-
tigation OF the big Ave" packers a
mass OF correspondence was read into
the record of the Senate Committee on
Agriculture to-day. It consisted of let
tiers which had passed between MI Hur-
ley. President Wilson and William Kent,
a former member OF Congress from Call
ifornia. now a member of the Tariff
Board. II was dated early In 1917.
while Mr.. Hurley was chairman OF the
Federal Trade Commission. Mr.. Kent at
the time was member of Congress.
Mr.. Kent is one of the most important
ranch owners OF the West. with vast cat
tie interests both In the United States
and Mexico.
With the backing of several colleagues
in the House Mr.. Kent was actively
striving TO persuade President Wilson 20
order the investigation Of the packers by
the Federal Trade Commission The
testimony and letters showed that de-
spite Mr.. Hurley's opposition President
Wilson finally ordered the inquiry.
Francis ]. Heney, former special in
vestigator for the Trade Commission,
OF the committee. He also produced a
letter written by Henry Veeder. counsel
for the packers to Louis F. Swift
stating that he had seen Representa-
tives James r. Mann. minority leader
OF the House Senator Wadsvorth On
" and Mr. Hurley and had been in.
formed that the Borland resolution
ordering an investigation OF the packers
would not be undertaken during thai
Congressional session.
Senator Wadsworth. a member of tn,
investigating committee. interrupted Mr.
Heney TO state that he probably ha,
seen Mr.. Veeder. but he wanted II under
stood that Mr.. Veeder had obtained n.
such information from him. Mr. Hene,
then promised to produce another lette
written by Mr. Swift to Senator wads
worth, introducing r c. McManus, al
attorney for tho packers Senate
Wadsworth said he remembered meet
| ing Mr. McManus.

litical activities Of the packers. MIR Nc

that law by arms II necessary. In not
one case In a million would that ANAL
force be brought to bear. he said. be
cause the economic pressure which cotne
be brought to bear by league OF ms
tions would be sufficient TO accomplish
the disciplining of the delinquent nation.
we must not be moved by the philos-
ophy of doubt; that Is not the Ameri-
can philosophy" said Mr.. Lane. The
question arises in every mind. Is this
scheme practicable? And there are men
who will rise here and there TO say that
ii cannot work. America was not made
by a philosophy OF despair; America
was made by optimism and confidence
How the Plan would Function.
Suppose that We organize two bodies.
one OF them to be a council that shall
give to us body Of international law.
Now. International law Is flmy, gausy.
founded upon precedent and without
certainty. decision or dehniteness.
Suppose that that council had the
power TO take into its own hands an
effort-irst. to inquire as to what the
trouble between nations may be second.
to MAKE an effort at Cancellation third,
to bring about arbitration IL possible !;
fourth. TO call upon the nations to en-
compass the delinquent and mako It's
social and economic life impossible, and
NTH as a last resort. to bring about
war
And We have an effort that can be
made this side of war. Take any coun-
try that YOU Please in your mind and let
me picture what might happen to It.
We could put circle around that coun-
try. cut off every postal combination so
that no letters could 60 In or out, cut off
every bill OF exchange. cut of every ex-
port. cut off every ship. cut the railroad
lines at the border, cut Off all diplomatic
communication and isolate that nation,
and there IL not a nation that ever has
made war that I know of that could
stand such a circle st iron brought
around il by the combined effort OF the
nations OF the world
"If that nation In violation Of It's pact
does attack one OF the nations within
this league or this council, then we must
adopt the motto OF the Three Muske-
teers. one for all apd all for one But
there is not one case In a million In
which tina. resort would be forced upon
us
This thing is not a dream, It Is a
thing that Is possible. but Il "a a thing
that Is possible II We do not shut our
eyes 10 II saying the thing cannot be
done. Give to those who represent you
the strength of your support, and believe
that the inventive mind OF man has not
ceased functioning."

Isaac and DIR. Adams are said to have
read letters from the secret fles found
In Henry Vceders safe.
The correspondence read by Mr.
Heney to-day showed that MI Kent
and several other Congressman had
called at the White House and urged the
President TO order the Federal Trade
Commission to investigate the packers.
They wanted the President to act. It
was shown in a letter written by Nj.
Kent, because IL appeared there was lit
tie chance OF the Borland resolution be-
Ing adopted at that session. The Presi-
dent expressed doubt Of his authority in
the matter and on January 9, 1917, Mr..
Kent wrote him, holding that he did
have ample authority under the act
creating tho Federal Trade Commission.
President Wilson referred Mr.. Kents
letter to Mr.. Hurley. and Mr.. Hurley
In his reply on January Is, 1917, set
forth objections to such investigation
BY the Trade Commission.
Mr.. Hurley advised the President to
appoint "a departmental committee
which would invite various interests to
appear In a friendly way and make their
suggestions" Such a committee, Mr.
Hurley suggested, might be constituted
BY the Assistant Secretaries of the De-
partments OF Agriculture. Commerce and
Interior, with one member OF the Federal
Trade Commission. and an Assistant At
torney-General
OF Mr. Hurley's advice to the Presi-
dent Mr.. Kent In HIS letter TO the White
House said This toothless, clawless,
unarmed and unarmored method OF con-
Quoting what is in the nature of a con-
test between a lot OF disorganized meat
producers and consumers on two sides
OF the field against the fntrenched pack
ers, whom we have no hesitation In de-
claring to be lawbreakers would be
laughable IL not tragic. II the Federal
Trade Commission Is constituted for the
purpose OF having the lamb lie down in
side the lion 1t would seem that Il Is
superhuous.
You know how averse I am to bother
ing you with such details, but am sure
on reading Chairman Hurley's letter that
you will wonder with me what the
Federal Trade Commission is for
