THE KENYON BILL

"The Kenyon Bill to regulate the
meat packers is one of the chief
measures now before Congress
which is designed to reduce the cost
of living" said DR.. Lewis H. Haney,
director of the bureau of research
and publicity of the Southern Whole
sale Grocers' Association today. "The
bill is now before the senate commit
tee on agriculture, and Is bound to
be reported out in the near future.
The packers are making a desperate
effort to food the committee with
witnesses from all over the country,
but from my observation of the hear
ings, they are not making much pro-
gress.
"Thus far the witnesses brought
in by the packers are of two sorts;
one group comes in and says that
because railway rvice is poor,
therefore they do not believe in IL
.censing the meat packers. OF
course this line of argument makes
little impression, because every one
knows that the railways are now
actually operated by the government,
while the Kenyon bill proposes that
the meat packers should be only reg
ulated, as our railways have always
been regulated, even in their days
of efficiency before the war.
"The witnesses of the second
group, who are mostly cattle feed
ers, also fail to talk to the point.
Their statement is that some bank
ser or cattle loan association man
has told them that times look bad
on account threatened Government
regulation, and that he fears that he
will not be able to finance them un-
til the Kenyon bill is killed. 1t is
obvious to my mind that such wit
nesses are either deceived or are un-
duly Influenced by their dependence
upon bankers and cattle loan ,ssoci-
ations which are controlled by the
packers, perhaps both.
when all the witnesses who can
be induced to go to Washington to
defend the packers have appeared,
the Federal Trade Commissions ex-
perts will sum up the case; also it
is expected that the great body of
farmers of the country who are OPP
posed to the meat packers monopoly
will be heard"
DIR. Haney concluded by stating |
that "the fact that the packers have
q monopoly control over the prices
sof meats, cheese, hides, and other
food products has not been success
fully denied"

MITCHELL SLAMS
SELFISH PATRIOT"

New York. Aug. 1.-THE funda.
mental factor in the high cost OF liv-
ing Is the fixed price of wheat" said
John Mitchell. chairman Of the state
industrial com mission and former
president of the United Mine work
ers. in an interview with Universal
| Service today.
20. course" he added, there are
various other elements that must be
considered, such as costs of material
and transportation and increases OF
wages. Speculation may have a part
no doubt 1t has. Many retailers. too,
are prohteering. particularly In meat
products. The retail prices are out
OF all proportion to the Wholesale
prices.
The cost OF living. on the whole.
however. is Increased by the price
OF wheat. The $2.26 a bushel fixed
by the government as the selling price
for wheat affects the prices OF other
cereals, and these Will remain high
as long as the price OF wheat remains
where 1t Is. The cost OF innumerabIe
other articles Is determined by the
price of wheat. Prices OF meat are
directly affected: also hides. and.
therefore. shoes and all leather pro-
ducts. Sheep. like cattle. are fed
partly on cereals and woolens are,
therefore. high. II wheat prices
will fall in proportion and other pro-
ducts depending on them will come
down at the same time.
world which manifests itself In many
ways. Men are preaching new and
strange gospels. searching for some
solution OF industrial and social prob
lens. Very few have n definite
program; many have no program at
all, but are simply exploiting the ills
of society for selfish purposes.
The forward looking men and wo-
men Of the world are embarrassed
by two elements equally dangerous
and equally responsible; on the one
side the ultra revolutionary in
thought and action and on the other
the reactionary element. The first
would overthrow society II It could,
quite without regard TO ability to re-
construct. The r~eacttonaries would
reconstruct society on the basis of
conditions existing a century ago.
They are men who are In this age,
but not of 1t: selfish men. caring very
little for the welfare OF the nation.
They pose very often as PARROTS, but
are not less dangerous and not less
unpatriotic than the most radical OF
revolutionaries."
do you think readtustment of
conditions can be brought about with
out an industrial breakdown such as
a panic?"
The remedy lies in the hands OF
the people themselves. And ! am
confident they will use 1t. No revo-
luton is needed to set things right in
this country, and there will be none.
After the period of read1ustment the
country undoubtedly will enter upon
an era of greater prosperity than
ever-prosparity. not for a favored
few. but for ALL"
