whether to accept an agreement
reached between the city administra-

This proposal was for continuation

return at the wage scale fixed by the
war labor board, pending arbitration
of their demand for higher wages.
Three months hence the people of
Denver, according to the agreement
would vote on permanent solution OF
the street car fare problem based on
the service-at-cost plan.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE big
five" meat packers will soon exercise
a powerful domination over the ma
tion's food supply and international
control OF meat products unless con-
gress takes immediate stops to fore
stall these aims, the federal trade cum
mission today reported to President
Wilson.
"An approaching packer domination
of all important foods in this country
and an international control Of msat
products with foreign companies
seems certainty unless fundamental
action is taken to prevent IT," says
the report, which is part one of the
commissions investigation OF the
meat industry.
"a fair consideration Of the course
the five packers--Armour, Morris,
Swift, Wilson and Cudahy-have fol-
lowed and the position they have al
ready reached must lead to the con-
clusion that they threaten the free
dom of the market OF the country's
food industries and Of the by-product
industries linked Herewith"
The commission claims the packers
are fast obtaining their domination by
manufacturing or dealing In IT'S COM
modities, largely products, and by
gaining control of 762 other COM
panies, many Of which are public util-
ity corporations.
"The big five Jointly or separately
WELD q controlling interest in 574
companies, minority interest tn 50
other and an undetermined interest
In q2" tho report said
"The history Of the packers growth
is interviewer with illegal combfna-
tions, rebates and with undisclosed
control Of corporations. The commits
sion urges full publicity of corporate
ownership of all industries.
CAS- to devices for secret control,
! there does not exist adequate law. In
its absence unfair competition may
run its course to the goal OF mono
poly and ruin competitors without the
secret ownership being suspected"
| The commissions report points out
the following alleged details of the
| packers activities:
The 'big five" have contro! Of, or

| in Sioux City, Kansas City, st. Paul,
Portland, Ore; San Francisco, Fort
Worth, Chicago, st. Joseph, Mo-; and

In the meat industry, the commits
sion stated, the "big five" already con.

slaughtered SAL percent Of all cattle.
S6.4 percent of all sheep; 1853 percent
of all calves. and 61-2 percent Of

five received the following percentage
Of the country's stock In 1916: Cattle

74.4; horses and mules Sac; total Of
all animals 7T.2.
Their average monthly holdings OF
non-perishable meats as compared
with the country's total supply were:
Frozen beef S5 percent; smoked ham
and bacon Ga percent; dry salt pork
69.S percent; picked pork 7o5 per.
cent.
The packers handle half the poultry
eggs and cheese business of the coun
try. In 1916 they sold 90,000,000
pounds of butter; 75,00o,000 pounds OF
cheese; over 13B 100000 dozens eggs

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Charges
that thousands of Japanese are belng
smuggled into the United States de-
snite the Lansing-Ishii agreement,
were made today by Senator Phelan

This smuggling explains the fact
that the Japanese population IN

"When | was in Los Angeles re-
Gently eighty Japanese who attempt
ed to enter this country by being
smuggled over the Mexican border
and were apprehended, were being
deported." Phelan said. For every
eighty caught two or three hundred
come in"
"As illustrating the carefully
MANNED attempts to overcome the
law I might point out that on April
Goth of this year, five Japanese stow
aways were found on board the S. 5.
Takao Maru in the port Of San Fran
cisco. These Japanese had been as
sisted by the cook and steward on
board the Takao Maru. Two pleaded
guilty of violation of the immigration
act and were sentenced to six months

they had been solicited by runners in

to attacks upon the covenant, in the

The president reserved presenta-
tion Of the French British -Amerian

indefinite date. This was considered
by many the shrewdest strategical
move yet made by either side in the
treaty and league fight. The presi-
dent now has an excellent reason for

siders it necessary-making speech

No provision is made for dete"nh-

believes, is a matter for 1etarmina-
