BILL STARTS FIGHT

The Senate is wrestling with
the. Edge bill. providing for the crea-
tion Of corporations to finance Ameri-
can commerce with Europe When
consideration of the bill was taken
up yesterday there was every indica-
tion that it would involve lively,
and probably protracted fight.
Under the provisions OF the bill
corporations may be created which
would allow American money to be
used for the Industrial rehabilitation
of Europe. and which would have
facilities for furnishing American cap
ital to purchase American goods for
foreign consumption.
Senator Edge OF New Jersey. au-
thor of the bill, declared it
was necessary that rapid action be
taken upon the bill, in order that
American exchange may be maintain
ed at a more stable value. He point
ed out that under the postwar condi-
tions in Europe. lack OF funds Is caus-
ing a failure to purchase American
goods. This bill. he declared. will re-
suit in a great impetus to the foreign
trade OF the United States and will
bring relief to the industries of Eu-
rope.
Opponents OF the bill are many in
the Senate. and they give promise of
a long fight against the
bill. Senator Gronna OF North Da-
kota, himself a banker, has indi-
Gated that he will oppose the bill.
Senator La Toilette OF Wisconsin and
Senator Reed of Missouri are other
enemies of the bill.
. Opponents OF the bill believe it viii
lead to American capital establishing
abroad the same monopolies that arc
prohibited here by the Sherman anti
trust laws

Packers Are Given Two
Years in Which to Effect
the Required Changes

Washington, d. c., Dec, l9.-Reor-
ganization of a gigantic industry, in
volying capital of more than one bill
lion dollars and affecting 81 corpora

five big packing companies
Under the agreement announced last
night and which will be made binding
by an injunction decree, the business
OF Swift & Co., Armour & Co., Morris
& Co., Wilson & Co., and the Cudahy
Packing co. will be restricted to meat
and provisions.
Two years are given to comply with
the decree.
Furthermore, the packers agreed to
submit to the jurisdiction Of the fed
eral courts and under the decree they
win be prohibited from maintaining
any, combination with each other or at
tempting to monopoli2e any food prod
ucts in the United States.
The decree. Attorney General Palm
er said in a statement, establishes the
principal that no group Of men, no

tempt to control the food table of the
American people.
The compromise followed the gov
ernments antitrust action against the
packers. started last summer at the
direction Of President Wilson as a part

that these subsequently capsized.

way to a transatlantic port. The
British Isles, from London Dec, ?, for
New York, sighted the distressed ship

and clothes be furnished the survivors
of the Manxmsn when they reached
