NOT PACKERS FRIEND
SAYS u. S. FOOD CHIEF
Herbert Hoover Denies Statement
Made During Senate Debate.

Paris. Jan. 2-Herbert Hoover to-
day fatty denied the charges made in
the United States Senate during de-
bate on the 100000 food bill, that
he had worked in the interests of the
American packing industries.
1 apparently emerge in new light
as the friend of the Chicago packers. -
said Hoover. AT the same time the
mail brings a report from Swift & Co.
blaming the Food Administration for
reducing their profits by $4,000 OCO
during the last year I don't imagine
the packers would appreciate a wide
circle of such friends.
Il notice also I committed a crime
BY holding the October joint confer
ence of farmers and representatives of
forty packers, as well as bringing the
packers together with representatives
Of the allied governments for the pur-
pose Of settling on a price for exports
of pork that would give the American
farmers a square deal and a distribu-
tion of orders that would protect
small packers.
We have even tried to secure the
continuance of these war arrange
ments through the armistice period
and the opening of other markets, be-
cause the American farmer did his
duty and produced the goods.
IF the small farmer and American
packer now feel that these arrange
ments are wrong it would be the
greatest burden on our shoulders If
We could know it quickly The Brit
ism government is particularly anxious
to be relieved from these arrange
ments."

Increase of So Per Cent.
There has been a marked increase
in cost in the last two years, particu-
larly in the cheaper boarding houses.
In the working girls homes. where
the element of profit does not enter,
the average cost of room and two
meals went up from S15.35 in Decem-
Der, 1916. to S2S in December, 1918, an
increase of S2.4 per cent. During the
same period the average cost in pri-
vate homes increased from $3l IS to
S4S, and in commercial boarding
houses from $31.49 to $685.. When
the cost Of lunches is added to these
figures it may readily be seen that
the 50 per week minimum arrived at
is a conservative estimate.
The United States government is
charging $40 per month for rooms in
the dormitories which have recently
been opened, and as soon as facilities
for serving meals are installed the
cost of room and two meals will be

SENATOR LAUDS
HOOVER'S WORK
Hitchcock Says Food Die
tator Emerges from War
With Glorious Record.

Vigorous defense Of Herbert c.
Hoover by Senator Hitchcock, featur-
ed yesterdays debate in the Senate of
the 800, ,0OO, 900 bill to supply food to
the starving populations of Europe.
This was the fifth day of debate on
the bill and the final vote is not yet
in sight 1t is doubtful IL the measure
will be voted upon before tomorrow.
Opponents of the measure are en-
tirely satisfied to have the debate pro-
longed as much as possible without
attempting an organized filibuster
against 1t. They claim that each days
postponement OF the vote adds sup
porters to their cause. Administration
leaders, however, are confident that
the bill will be passed and are not
willing to conCede more than twenty
votes to the opposition.
Senator Hitchcock, in his defense of
Hoover. denied that the request for
the appropriation, came as a result
of plans formed in the United States
by agreement between Hoover and
the packers before Hoover went to
Europe He declared the plan was not
even thought OF until the representa-
uves Of the allied governments sat
down in the food conference and de-
cided upon plans to relieve the suffer
ing pople. He characterized the at
tack upon Hoover as "a stab in the
back" and said that Hoover had come
out Of the war with a better record
than any other government official
Challenges Statements.
Senator Hitchcock's statement was
hotly challenged by Senator Borah,
one OF the foremost opponents of the
bill. who declared he would produce
evidence to prove that Hoover ar
ranged the plan of protecting the
packers against a loss of profits on
pork products shortly after the armis-
tice was signed and long before he
left the United States.
1t is expected that Senator Borah
will make a formal reply today TO
senator HitChcOCk's $ statement on be-
half Of Hoover. which was made by
the Nebraska Senator after corre-
spondence with Hoover by cable.
Speeches against the bill were made
by Senator Cummins, of Iowa. anc
Senator Sherman, Of Illinois, both Re
publicans. Senator CUmmins declared
u would be "an evil day for the
United States when she binds herself
10 send her army and navy to the re-
motest parts OF the earth to reduce
some nation that has broken her OBJ
legations"
Senator Sherman, in a characteristic
speech, pronounced the fund mot a

said it would give announcement to

yet are forced to pay from about
$50 to $40 a month for such ac-
commodations and two meals day.
1t was learned that some Of the
poorer working girls were able to
get two poor meals day for $20
a month. but nobody who tested
them claimed that they were "ade-
quate." Generally the price for two
meals a day, according to the re-
ports, averaged between s25 and $50
a month.
Ten dollars a month is the least
for which shelter can be obtained.
Miss Mortenson declared. That is
at the rate of $3.50 per week. which
leaves $3.50 or less that 81 a day
out of the 50 for meals. That would
mean an average of 80 1-3 cents
per meal, so the question naturally
arises where does the third meal
come in. considering 50 a week as
minimum. The answer is that
many girls are deprived by their
low wages of eating any lunch eX-
cept ice-cream or a sandwich.
