WASHINGTON, Aug. I8.-With q
ststement by Senator Kenyon that
!he American people fsruse to stand
for Unreasonable profits" the senate
agriculture committee today began
hearings on packer regulation legis-
lation.
The committee has before 1t both
the Kenyon and Kendrtck bills. the
former being the more drastic.
The hearings opened with state
ment by Kenyon In which he ex-
plained the purposes of his measure.
"The people VIII stand FOR reason
able profits, but they are not going
to stand for reasonable profits
Kenyon declared.
And the profits that are being
made by the packing monopoly come
near being reasonable profits" he
said.
The bill, he explained, Is not gov
ernment ownership bill
I'VE are not trying to injure the
packers, or ruin business" Kenyon
explained. ut is true tnat the bill
does lodge tremendous power in the
hands Of one man.
"These are radical bills. 1t is use
less to pretend they are not. They
have teeth In them. They propose q
new method Of corporate control.
But in the view Of the facts dis
closed in the federal trade commits
sion's investigation and In the condi-
ton of unrest in the country. we
felt congress could not sit idly by
doing nothing.
"A monopoly Of necessities of life
is indefensible and ntolerabIe.
These bills are to destroy that
monopoly When monopoly reaches
that stage we can't say It is a pri-
vate business. 1t is public utility"
Kenyon explained that his bill Is
similar to the Kendrick measure, ex-
cept that it attempts to regulate un.
related business which the packers
are absorbing and formulates
policy for public markets.
Chairman Gronna suggested limita-
ton of profits as an alternative 20
the Kenyon plan Of strict regulation
of packers by license. Haste must
be made before another Boston tea
party" takes place, Gronna warned.

age great and powerful corporations
should carefully view the present
situation and help us solve the
knotty problems before US.
"They should hasten 20 90 so be-
fore It is too late, because already It
has been suggested by conservative
men that another Boston tea party is
needed with the trusts playing the
part Of King George.
rive know that under the consti-
tuition we have the right to tax, and
unless these great questions are
remedied and solved in some other
way 1t may be necessary to limit the
profits that person or corporation
shall be permitted to retain and I
am not SO sure that such a plan
would be the safest and best plan to
adopt"

roads, as soon as the draft of the
proposed measures is rewritten, ac-
cording to President Timothy Shea.
The fremen and hostlers demand
increases averaging from 35 to go
percent and the average Is so per
cent. said Shea. 1t will cost the
railroads Of the United States and
Canada S2OO,0OO.oOO to install the
automatic devices demanded, dele
gates estimated, while the annual In
crease in operating expenses entail
ed by the wage demands was placed
at 7e,0oe; 900.
The latter figure is based on the
assumption that the 117,000 fremen
and enginemen in the broth erhood
work an average Of 800 days per
year for an average OF eight hours
per day.
The committee which formulated
the demands will ask for the employ
ment of two firemen on each engine
weighing 100 tons or more until such
time as the automatic appliance pro-
ed the work was too heavy for one
man to handle. OF the estimated
10000 locomotives Of that weight,
not more than 5000 are equipped
with the proper mechanical appli-
ances, the delegates said.
Shea said the proposed wage in
crease would hardly meet the pre-
war conditions. The summary of
wage demands as announced by
Shea is as follows:
Rate Of pay for firemen and help
ers in the passenger service to be
$3.50 per day of 100 miles or less,
except when Mallet engines are
used, when the rate shall be s72O,
or the freight rate for Mallet en-
gines.
Freight service-On engines weigh
ing less than 100 tons f1remen shall
be paid $3.50 per day Of 100 miles
or less.
On engines weighing more than
100 tons the pay shall be $3.50 per
day of 100 miles or less.
Firemen and helpers employed IN
the yards shall receive $3.50 per day
Of eight hours, except when Mallet
engines are used, when the rate
shall be $3.50.
Firemen and helpers employed in
local or way freight service, mixed
trains, mine runs and roustabout
service shall be paid minimum Of
fifty cents per 100 miles In addition
to the through freight rates. This
is asked because such trains are
naturally slow.

mands set between September 1 and
