STOCK YARDS AND PACKERS OPPOSE
 FEDERAL CONTROL OF MEAT INDUSTRY
Witnesses Declare Govern ment Intervention Would Cause More Harm Than Good and Urge Off,
 cials to Go Slow
By Associated Press

Washington, January 20. Officials of independent pack ing and stockyard firms ap- peared before both the Senate agriculture and House inter- state commerce committees to- day in opposition to legislation for governfent supervision of the meat packing industry.
 Francis J. Heney of San Francisco, who was chief counsel for the federal trade commission in it's investigation of the five big packing concerns, also was a witness before the Senate com mittee
 William Magivinny, president of the St. Paul Union stock yards told the House committee that government in tervention would cause more harm than good and suggested that in the light of it's experience in fixing the price of wheat the government should go slow in attempting to make meat prices
 D. W Taliaferro, vice president and general manager of the Detroit pack ing firm of Hammond, Standish & O., testifying before the Senate commit tee, said that while he was opposed to government ownership, he believed that it would be better than an at tempt by thesEovernment to regulate packing houses and stock yards.
 ONLY SMALL PROFITS
 Denying that profits of packing con- cerns had increased under the ncens- ing system, MT. Taliaferro said his company's profits for 1919 were only about 22 per cent on the capital stock, cent.
 James S. Agar, president of the John Agar company, Chicago, testified before the House committee that he never has been discriminated against by the large packers and that he not infrequently was able to apply sue cesSfully to the larger packers fer refrigerator cars. He urged that these cars bs left in the hands of their pres- ent~owners.
 MT. Heney, in his testimony, charged that the "big f1ve' packers have throt- tied the packing industry throughout the country to build an artificial mo- nopoly at Chicago, where prices are fixed for the entire country.
 The witness also said the packers were interested in securing representation on the council of national defense because it was expected committees would be formed for purchasing food supplies"
 HOPED TO BENEFIT
 Correspondence from the packers files, he added, shows that there were many ways in which they expected to benefit from the activities of the council
 Joseph Taggart, former representative from Kansas, denied before the Senate Committee today that while member of Congress he was favorable to the packers in legislative action, as was in- dicated by testimony offered recently by MT. -Heney. He said he had supported the Borland resolution for investigation of the packing industry.
 J.EOgden Armour of Armour & O., will appear tomorrow before the House committee and Louis F. Swift of Swift & Co, is expected to testify before both committees later in the week.

 present. In addition to the regular
 routine business transacted. a com
 mittee of Bessemer citizens appeared
 before the board in interest of mat ters pertaining to this section. In regard to the resumption of work
 on the courthouse the members of the board present expressed a willingness to let new contracts for the building, but considered it a useless waste of money at the present cost of building material and advised a delay until lower prices prevail. The condition of the county roads in the vicinity was also brought to the attention of the members of the board, and immediate repairing was ordered in certain sec tPns where the roads were represented asN being in a deplorable condition. The road to Cedar Hill cemetery will be improved at once, both routes
 the Fourth avenue and the Ninth ave- nue. receiving attention. It was stated by the board members that no exten- sive plans Of road building would be conducted in the near future, as there were not sufficient funds available, but if the contemplated bond issue of S5,000.o00 was floated, permanent high ways could be built that would be of lasting benefit to the county
 It was brought out at the meeting that public sentiment in favor of the bond issue and the request for the or dering of the election for the floating of the bond issue must come from the citizens.
 The establishment of the reference library for the Bessemer High school was brought to the attention of the public Monday morning by Prof. L. l.. Vann. It was decided at the last meet ing of the board of education that the library would be established by the patrons and pupils in conjunction with
 the board of education, who pledged themselves to donate as large an
 amount towards the purchase of the
 books as could be raised in the schools.
 The plan as outlined by the superin-
 tendent was y>that each high school
 pupil contribute s1, which will amount
 to s4OO, and with an additional s400
 from the board of education, would
 start very good reference library
 The plan was considered favorably by
 the pupils and it is thought it will be
 adopted.

Not a word had been spoken dur

lowered. The driver-an old, Ratchet

just before throwing in the clutch at
the crossroads in response to the
young woman's crisp command to
drive to Harris Tavern. That word
was uttered under his breath and it
is not necessary to repeat it here.

forward again, headed for the cross
