DEFEND ATTACK UPON
 KENYON BILL
Declare Government Control Be Worse Disaster Than Befell
 Railroads.

Chicago, July 23.-The committee of seventeen which is directing the werk of the recently organized insti- tute of American meat packers, re- piled today for the packing industry to Senator Kenyon's assertion in the senate that the packers are stimulat- ing an enormous propaganda against his bill for regulation of the industry. The committee represents twelve smaller packing concerns throu0h- out the country as we'll as the Big Five" here.
 Senator Kenyon has charged in the senate of the United States that the packers are. sending out propaganda against his bill to place the pacx- ing industry under federal license, as if there was something wrong Tn the actions of the packers in that re- pard" said the statement. The fact is that the bill introduced bv the senator threatens the lifpe of the packing industry. It would amount to practical poverment operation, which, with this complex industry, would result in greater disaster than that which we have with the govern ment operation of railroads, telegraph and telephone lines"
 After saying that investigation by an unprejudiced, non-political body would be welcomed bv the packers, the statement added that "it is un- fortunate that such an examination was not made hv the federal trade commission, as directed by the presi- dortV and concludes.
 HIt is to be repretted that the sen- ator should question the patrisonl of the packers or give ntterance to the ridiculous thought that the packers desired to measure power with the government, we yield to no one in our allegiance to the government.

Many miles of railway track he said are mostly sidings located where they would be useless under peace conditions. Ten thousand passenger automobiles ana fifty thousand trucks. owned by the Americans, he said, "would ruin the : French automobile industry Ii un- loaded on the French market" "You have 1900 locomotives and 17,OOO freight cars," he said, which are too large for our railways and too heavy for our tracks"
 The American-built docks in At. lantic ports, he explained, were built in three months to last ten years swhen they will be useless" An enormous amount of lumber scattered throueh France, Belgium Luxenburg and Alase is owned by the Americans, M. Morel said, there was nearly enought lumber to rebuild the 1 devastated regions. but that persons 1 who lost brick or stone structures are unwilling to accept wooden cottages l as homes. ., l The supplies most attractive to tnt !, French people are the many mlillor pounds of flour, rice and beans heit by the army.
