ARMOUR ID SUBMIT
 LEGISLATION FOR
 MEAT REGULATION
Before Being Presented Legislation Will Be Sub- mitted to Other Packers
 for Approval
By Associated Press

Washington, January 27.-J. ogden Armour, president of Arnsour & Co.,, told the Senate agriculture committee tonight a the conclusion of his testi- mony that he and his counsel were drafting legislation for the regulation of the meat packing industry which he expected to submit as a substitute for similar bills now before Congress.
 Before being presented, the legisla- tion will be submitted to the other big packing firms and the independents for their approval. MT. Armour said He added that he believed the plan which he had in mind would satisfy both producer and the consumer and remove "antagonism to the packers, which he admitted seemed to be gen. eral
 Mir Armour reiterated that his op position to control by the government or the railroads of refrigerator and live stock cars and stock yards was predicated solely on his fear that they could not be operated as efficiently as they now are. He said he believed private ownership of branch houses was absolutely necessary, but declared government operated branch houses for the small packers would not be opposed by the large companies.

MORRIS GIVES TESTIMONY

While MT. Armour was finishing his testimony before >the Senate commit tee. Edward S. Morris of Chicago, pres- dent of Morris & Co., appeared before the House interstate commerce com mittee in opposition to the pending legislation, which, he declared, would mperil the industry and prove cost ly to the consumer. MT. Morris had prepared statement of 134 pages, but at the suggestion of the committee, he read only part of it. The entire state ment, however. was admitted to the record of the hearing.
 MT. Morris told the committee he had no objection to government owner ship of the meat industry provided his company was reimbursed imm ediateiy for it's property and investments. He said he would object, however, if pay ment was postponed, as the industry would soon be in such a chaotic con dition that a proper settlement would be impossible"
 Unless Congress wants to have ar- other industry in the situation where the railroads are now" the witness said, 'it should leave the meat indus try alone. Government regulation might cause the ultimate ruin of the industry as well as resulting in a great increase in the cost of living"
 NO MONOPOLY
 MT. Morris declared that there was no monopoly of the meat industry. Re- plying to the statement of the federal trade commission that there was col fusion among the five big packing firms in buying and selling, MT. Nor ris said the best proof that no com bination existed was the fact that prices of live stock had more than doubled in four years.
 The witness charged that the pur- pose of the market committee of the National Live Stock association, which he said was behind the investigat ton of the federal trade commission, was to obtain higher prices for live stock, which would mean high costs to the consumer. He suggested that it might be advisable for Congress tO inyesti- had put the fund of $150,000 which, he said. it received annually from the association. He asserted that he did put to any Improper purpose" but dangerous if it should happen to get into the improper channel"
 Questioned by Representative Wins low of Massachusetts regarding the relative profits of producers and pack CTS, MT Morris said he believed that if the Investigation conducted by the federal trade commission had covered all branches of the meat industry in- stead of having been concentrated on the five big packing firms, it would have revealed that the producers profits were much the higher propor- tionately.

Minnesota Still
Controls Railroads.
All Former Powers Except Rate Max
ing Restored to State by
Director Hines.

All authority ever exercised by the
Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse
Commission over the railroads, save
only that of rate making, have been re-
stored to the state by Walker d. Hines,
Director General Of Railroads. Follow
ing conference in Washington last
week, at which Minnesota was repre-
sented by Commissioner Fred w. Put
nam, a formal order defining the fed
eral and state Jurisdictions was issued
by Mr.. Hines for the instruction of all
railroad officials. The latter are di-
rected to comply with all the state laws
regulating transportation and to re-
c0gnize the authority of the several
state commissions. The question of
authority in supervising intrastate
rates, fares and charges will be deter
mined by the courts. But even in the
matter of rates the railroads are di-
rected to file their tariffs with the state
commissions and directors of traffic will
make no advances until the question
has been submitted to state commits
sions for advice and suggestions.
In every other respect, the railroads
are subject to the police powers Of the
state, their status being exactly the
same as before the war. The Minnesota
commission will have jurisdiction over
such matters as train service, the con-
struction and abandonment of spur
tracks, the installation and mainten-
ance of signal systems and all safety
appliances, track connections, the loca-
ton, maintenance and sanitation Of all
depots, investigation Of accidents, and
in fact, all questions relating to service,
equipment and safety.
The state commission is to make in
vestigations as to passenger and freight
service, facilities for handling freight,
the physical condition Of tracks and
rolling stock and the general efficiency
Of railroads and to report their findings
with recommendations to the United
States Railroad Administration. The
order of Director Hines removes great
many causes for friction, uncertainty
and dissatisfaction between the ship
pers and the railroads, and should
prove a great boon to- the general
public. -

LESS TROUBLE
WITH TRAC TORS

1t takes 211a gallons of fuel an acre to
run tractor for blowing in the
4 Dakotas according to reports from
several hundred farmers received by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. These reports, summarized in
Farmers Bulletin 1895, cover 2, 3, 4
and 5 pillow tractors of various makes.
s Slight differences in fuel consumption
are found between machines of differ
.ent makes, and there is usually slight
~ lower consumption where gasoline is
used than were Kerosene is used. These
differences however, are so small that
the average of 211A gallons may be taken
as coming very close to the actual acre
consumption for any type or size Of
machine.
The more recent reports received in
/, this regard indicate that farmers are
having much less trouble than formerly
in handling kerosene burning tractors.
Nearly two-thirds Of the tractors on the
Dakota farms reporting burn Kerosene.
and the results are apparently salts
factory, particularly in view of the fact
that the present price Of kerosene is
but half that of gasoline. However,
the advantage Of g&oline in ease of
operation and in additional assurance
it gives that the engine will be kept
running steadily makes many men pre-
fer the more expensive fuel.

lBy Associated Pressl

Washington, Feb. 11-Japan's atti-

ference is causing grave apprehen-
SION. According to official diplomatic
information reaching here, Japan has

China is relying on the peace CEN
ference where her delegates are said
70 have made an excellent impression
and is seeking the support of the I'm

though the Chinese foreign minister

Predicts National Disaster
If R. R. Wages Are Lowered
(By Associated Press)

Washington Feb 11--Any disposition
of the railroad problem that would
lower wages would threaten a nation
al disaster, said A. B. Garrettson,
president of the Order Of Railway
Conductors, today before the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee. "If
there is any unwise effort to reduce
the income of the wage Garner" he
declared, at will strengthen the spirit
of discomfort that will shake, if not
destroy, the social structure. The
spirit that would arise, should the
railroad employees be dissatisfied,
would communicate itself to such a
large body of the population" Gar
rettson said, "that the country would
be brought to the verge of industrial
rebellion"

The house was weu filled and from
the hearty applause to each number
convinced the troupe that their stunts
were meeting with satisfaction = Es-
pecial mention is due to the beautiful
music rendered by the Four Musical
Kings, who displayed much talent on
string instruments. The little SOU
brette who portrayed the part Of Dol
lie, was as winsome and fascinating as
ever played at the local theatre. The
young ladies who made up the chorus
were good lockers and far above the
average chorus girls. In fact, the
whole company, including the come
dian, impressed one as being ladies
and gentlemen, and with an entire
change of program tonight, the house
will be packed to its capacity.
