PACKERS STRONGER
THAN UNCLE SAM
Victor Murdock Says That He Greatly
Fears So
URGES VIGOROUS ACTION
Trade Commissioner Thinks Meat
Men Are Too Smart for the
Government.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Vctor Muir
dock, member of the federal trade
| commission, told the House Inter-
state Commerce Commission today
that he feared the five big packers
had acquired so much power that
even the United States Government
might not be strong enough to COM
bat it.
"Even Food Administration Hoov-
er," Mr.. Murdock said, "could not
reach into Chicago and take the Ii
cense of great male factor, al
though he could rescind the license
of one of the little fellows"
This testimony of the trade CON-
missioner following his statement that
facts gathered during the commits
sion's investigation of the meat pack
ing industry had been turned over to
the Department of Justice and tina.
he had no doubt that proceedings un-
der the antitrust law would result.
Mr.. Murdoch expressed fear that
the legislative branch Of the go, 1rn-
ment would deal weakly instead uf
vigorously with the packers lis
statement that the packers we're we'll
aware there would be vacancies on
Senate and House committees which
would consider their case and chat
they would try to see to it that
their friends got on these commit
tees as vacancies occurred brou, ,rti
sharp questioning from members Of
the committee. Mr.. Murdock said he
did not mean that any improper means
would be used and that he did not
in any way mean to infer that there
had been "stuffing or padding" of
committees in the past.
But | do say" the witness con-
tmucd, that even while we here are
discussing things that have happened
in the past, the big interests of the
country are thinking in terms of the
future. They are always well ahead
of us. And you can depend upon it
that they are doing it now"
Commissioner Murdoch strongly
urged enactment Of legislation before
the committee for government control
and regulation Of the meat Industry
Replying to questions Of committee
members, he said it was entirely pos
siblc that if the meat Industry were
made subject to Legislation such as
that proposed every other business
might be made subject to similar leg
islation.
The committee closed it's hearings
with the examination of Mr.. Murdoch,
who devoted considerable time of dis
cussion Of the so-called international
meat pool, which was sharply criti-
cizcd in the commissions report to the
President last summer.
"rhc packers" he said, "havc come
before this committee to testify, but

"The Miracle Man" is coming.

ilC MlldClc M6tl IL COlIIlliS'
No screen production since "The
Birth of Nation" has scored a
greater hit than this George Loanc
Tucker feature. Although it has
been on the silver sheet but two
months, its record all over the coun-
try is phenomenal. Its record in
the metropolis is interesting. 1t was
first shown at the George M. Cohan
Theatre at So a seat. After linn
tied engagement, capacity at every
performance, it was moved to the IA
nous Rivoli Theatre, largest of
Broadway's picture palaces. Here
it again broke all records.
In New England its reception has
I been just as cordial 1t was first
shown in Boston at the new Park
Theatre for three capacity weeks at
81 a seat. SO successful was the en-
gagement that "The Miracle Man"
has returned for an additional run.
In Providence, Springfield, Portland,
Fall River and other cities, lucky
enough to have been able to book the
feature, its success has been the
same.
Those who have witnessed it, say
the acting is marvellous. All critics
agree that Thomas Meighan as Tom
Burke, leader of the gang of crooks,
does the finest work in his long ca
reer before the camera. The entire
cast is nawless. and great praise is
due Joseph ]. Downing. Betty Comp

GHAUTAUQUA LOSING OUT

HAUIAOQUA LOOlNG OUI 2
From all over the country come re-
ports of refusal of towns to contract
for Chautauqua entertainments next
year. Generally once is enough. A
few towns bite twice on the Chautau-
qua fake, but most towns get more
than plenty" the first time. Moscow
had her experience and did not guar
antee this road show which guaran-
tees nothing, fat profit to come here
this year and the town is much better
off without it. Kendrick, Gennesee
and Troy "bit" this year and that
they felt "stung" is evidenced by
the following very sensible editorial
IN the Kendrick Gapette:
f"The business men of Kendrick did
not sign up for a chautauqua for
next year for various reasons. 1t
is question whether a town and
the people in the surrounding country
derive enough benefit from the chau-
tauqua programs to make it worth
the expense. Chautauqua week here
this season cost the community in the
neighborhood of $1,000. Most of the
talent was considered rather inferior
and aside from parts of several
programs, it was little better than
could be produced locally. The chau-
tauqua company comes to town |
with all expenses guaranteed and a
very good chance to make nice i
profit above expenses. They guaran
tee nothing except that they will put
on program of some sort. The
quality of the entertainments to be
given carries no guarantee whatever

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
A GERMAN MASTERPIECE

The Germans seem to be proud of
the exploit of their surrendered navy
in sinking the war fleet at Scapa
Flow. And therein is revealed again
the curiously twisted German mental
ity in regard to questions of morality
The German officers who sank
those ships were left in charge of
them "on their honor" The officers
had surrendered themselves as we'll
as their fleet The ships were held
not as the property of the Allies, but
were informed, to be disposed of ac-
cording to later agreement between
the Allies and Germany. They were
something like property ''in escrow"
pending business deal. Representa-
tives of the German navy, as special
though undeserved privilege, were
permitted to remain in charge of
them pending final settlement. They
were bound, by their own word of
honor as officers and gentlemen, and
as representatives of Germany, to
perform the service faithfully.
And they proved, as Germans have
proved so often during this war, the
utter faithlessness of German faith"
the deep dishonor of the German
honor" of which Germans have prated
so much.
1t was the same sort of honor as
that which moved the Germans to |
sink the informed German liners in |
American ports while their repre-
sentatives were still protesting peace
and friendship for America 1t was
the same honor that was practiced by
the informed officers of the German
navy who broke their pledge and ran
away so that later they might fight
against the United States 1t was
the honor of the German embassy
which while enjoying the hospitality
and trust of the American people
engaged in a series of criminal plots
against the peace and welfare of this
country. 1t is the honor of the u
boats, the Zeppelins, the strafe guns,
The poison gas, the blow at Belgium, ,
The ruin of French factories and ,
mines, and all the long list of deeds
by which Germany sought to gain
advantage for herself through treach-
,ry instead of open dealing and fair
light. ..---r -.
american officers would not have
broken their "parole d'honneur" and
,lown up surrendered ships. British $
'fficers would not. French or italian l.
n Japanese officers would not. But e
o German officers, it was natural c
nd praiseworthy thing, to be com
nended at home as "smart" and
atriotic. --ssa 49, -----~ T.

| "a town takes just what it gets and
is supposed to be satisfied. Most of
the business men have stated en-
phatically that they would not sign
up for another chautauqua, so the
probabilities are there will be no

Mexico still continues to furnish
news of interest. They are still kill

der and pillage right at our door and
Mexico had just as well understand
once for all that Uncle Samual will
make but one trip down there. When
he comes out the greasers will know
that it is better to make living with
a spade and shovel than it is to make
