hearing from the men who were Gre
ating his new world order. The
facts-the memorable facts-make
the issue with Mr.. Wilson.
"In his peroration, Mr.. Wilson
exclaimed, I have come out to fight
for cause. That cause is greater
than the senate; it is greater than
the government
1--WE, too, you and I, are fighting
for cause, but the cause is not
greater than the United States; it
is the United States.
Last time, for the first time, the
president attempted a justification
of the provision of the league CIV
ing Great Britain six votes while
the United States has but one. He
says, in effect, that the dispropor-
tionate voting power is of no con-
sequence because each vote in the
council has veto. Why then
Great Brtain should have been
given six votes is not apparent.
Perhaps because it is of no conse-
quence, this preponderance has been
~ SllCuuouoly HuoiSlcu upon ny
Britain. But the veto power by no
means removes the objection. Any
matter of dispute in the council
may by either party be removed to
the assembly. In the assembly hall
members vote, except those who
are parties to the dispute.
Suppose Japan and the United
States in controversy finally come
to the assembly of the league.
There, both Japan and the United
States standing aside, Britain, with
her offensive and defensive alliance
with Japan, which both countries
insist will be in full force, notwith-
standing the league, will cast six
votes. And, while the council re-
quires a unanimous vote, the assem-
bly,, exclusive of the members of
the council, requires for action but
a majority vote"

EDITOR OF farm
paper APPEALS
FOR MEAT BILL
e. W. PugsIey Calls Packers
IAN UnhoIy Combination"
Farmer Opposes Pro-
posed Law.
BY E. c. SNYDER.


Washington Correspondent Omaha Bee.
i Washington, Sept. 13.-(Special
sTelegram.)-A vigorous appeal for
Ethe passage of the so-called Ken
idrick-Kenyon bill for government
Regulation and control OF the pack
ling industry was made to the-senate
committee on agriculture today by
k. w. Pugsley of Lincoln, editor Of
the Nebraska Farmer.
He denounced the packers round
lily Tor being in what he called "an
funholy combination" and. assailed
1.-THE big live stock producers who
have appeared in opposition to the
hill, as being witnesses who borrow
money from the packers, and who
therefore are biased" He said
Isome producers were honestly OPP
posed to the bills, others had been
lnisled by propaganda" but that the
majority of the men he knew in Ne
3braska were for the legislation.
& Packers Own Papers.
"The propaganda is being carried
ion against these bills generally in
the press throughout the country"
NE said. 81 do not object to propa-
Banda. The packers have right to
Fight legislation they believe will be
detrimental to them, but they
Should do it honestly"
y He said the packers owned many
ltmarket papers, and then proceeded
Il Ito read story in a stockman's paper
published In Omaha in which, he
lclaimed, the text of the Kenyon bill
dd;Shad been misquoted. He apparently
gave this as evidence of what he
called the dishonesty of the pack
}ers." Upon being questioned by
members of the committee, how
ever, the witnesses admitted that the
packers did not own the newspaper
in question.
! "Nebraskans," he said, don't want
Government ownership or operation
jof any industry, but we do not con-
lsider that licensing constitutes eth
Ter. We do not believe these bills, if
passed, will slow up live stock pro-
duction materially. We don't believe
speople doing a legitimate business
have any reason to fear this legisla-
ton"
State Senator Talks.
Former State Senator A. F. Harsh
ioi Lowell, Neb., a cattle shipper
land farmer, told the committee he
lobjected strenuously to the pro-
posed legislation.
] "Let ME say at the outset" he
said, "that I have not seen a pack
er or a packers representative for
20 years with the exception of
man I met accidentally in a rail-
way diner while on my way here.
I object to the licensing features
Of these bills, which would give
somebody authority to control
somebody else's business. | also
am against the proposal to take
from the packers their means of
handling their property, namely the
refrigerator cars. This is bad legis-
lation."
Senator Harsh believes that the
agitation of the proposed govern
ment regulation of packers is re-
sponsible for lower prices and in
conversation with members from
Nebraska cited the fact that he had
lost $1,000 recently in one shipment
of stock to Kansas City.

Boston, Sept. l3.-Polics Com
missioner Curtis shut the doors OF
the police department in the face
of the striking policemen Saturday.
He announced he would not rein
state the men who had abandoned
their posts. At evening call he
made it known that the 100 officers
and members OF the union whom he
had suspended had been finally dis
charged and that he would proceed
at once to build up new force.
The commissioners action fol-
lowed the strikers acceptance of the
suggestion of President Gompers OF
the American Federation of Labor
that they return to work without de-
handing immediate union recogni-
ton, but without relinquishing any
claims. 1t found support in an
opinion by Attorney General Bruce
Wyman. who held that striking po-
lice officers had made their places
vacant and that the commissioner
could fill them. Il"
Up to Attorney General.
Governor Coolidge, at a confer
ence with President John F. Nc
1nnis of the policemen's union and
other labor leaders, said he would
be guided by the opinion of the at
torney general
The police commissioner refused
to meet the labor leaders in a Joint
conference, but sent word he
would talk with them ain my own
behalf" on Monday. This was in
terpreted to mean that he wished to
remove any official status from the
interview. The commissioner will
recruit his new force, without civil
service requirements, from veterans
OF the army or navy.
The commissi said he had
submitted to the mayor recommen-
dations for advances in the salaries
of patrolmen and would request a
revision of the salaries of officers.
The mayor previously had said he
favored increased pay.
Concerned Over Future.
The city, restored to virtually nor

of the states military forces, was =
concerned over the immediate fu-
ture. The threat of a general strike
was in the air. The statement of
President Gompers that he supposed
Commissioner Curtis was willing to
assume the responsibility for his ac-
tion," directed attention to the next
move likely to be made by the Cen
trail Labor union. Some of its con-
stituents have declared in favor of q
