its fair dropped 10 point where it
would have compared unfavorably with
fair in one Of the abandoned counties
of North Dakota.
Eaton charged that the committee on
fairs and expcsitions had slipped one
over on the house. as the matter under
consideration was not house bill pa but
a substitute for that bill and bore the
name of the committee. He said he had
talked with eight members of the com
mittee who knew nothing about the sub
stitute hill.
Sinclair, a member Of the same COM
mittee, said that ever since he had maae
it known that he was opposed to gamb-
ling he had never been recognized as a
member of the committee and had no
part in its deliberations.
Rasmussenn called attention to the
fact that the original bin contained
referendum clause. but this did not an
pear in the substitute. Eaton insisted
that the new bill entirely repeals the old
betting law and leaves it entirely open,
The motion to strike the cnacting clause
was defeated and the bin received the
approval Of the house.

Helena, Feb. 24.-If house bill 274
by Silverman and Church. providing for
betting on state fair races, succeeds in
overcoming opposition as readily as it
did today in its passage thru the house,
it will go thru the senate and up to the
governor for his approval or rejection.
This bill permits state and county fair
associations to conduct pari-mutuel bet
ting on races for a period of six days,
not including Sundays, out of each year,
and was opposed by Brandjord as a
gambling measure.
Higgins addressed the house in its
support, relating the experiences Of state
and county fair associations after the
passage by the Fourteenth assembly of
the arti-bettiug law. He said that at the
fair following it's passage the state fair
association lost $33 600: that at the time
of It's enactment the fair fund contained
S6iOOO and that ut the present there is
but $1,000 in the fund. He said Missoula

hours, today, before he threw

distrust the proposed concert of

An America confining to her
own territories her conception
and purpose to make men free,
he said, would have to keep her
honor "for those narrow, selfish,
provincial purposes which seem
so dear to some minds that have
no sweep beyond their nearest
horizon"
Before a responsive audience
that filled the biggest auditor

YARDS AND MEAT
KINGS DIVORCED
IN LICENSE BILL
May Retain Refrigerator
Cars Under the Regu-
lations.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Legislation fol-
the regulation of the meat packing in
dustry was approved today by the senate
agriculture committee, which ordered re-
ported the Kendrick blu providing for
regulation of refrigerator cars by the
licensing of packers facilities and the
divorcing of stockyards from control by
packing companies.
In ordering a favorable report on the
kendrick bill, the committee disregarded
recommendations of the federal trade
commission for ownership by the rail-
road administration of stock refrigerator
cars and for government regulation OF
branch plants.
The packers. under the bill. are given
two years, with provision for two
year extension in time. to dispose of
their stockyard interests. The control
of the stockyards, it is contemplated,
would be exercised by other private con-
Germs.
While the packers would be permitted
to retain ownership of refrigerator cars,
the bill provides that cars must be fur
nished to others, in accordance with
regulations to be issued by the inter-
state commerce commission.
Licensing of the packers facilities
would be placed under the department of
agriculture, but decisions of the secre-
tary of agriculture would be subject to
appeal in the courts. Only after con-
cern engaged in interstate business had
been convicted twice, would the secretary
have the authority to revoke the con-
Germs license.

CIVIL STRIFE

Lloyd George Moves to
Head Off Threat to
English Industry.

London, Feb. 24.-The United
Kingdom is faced with the pros
poets of civil strife and the house
of commons should do everything in
its power 10 avert it, Premier Lloyd
George declared, today, in introduc-
ina a bill to constitute a committee
to inquire into the conditions pre-
vailing in the Goa! industry.
The premier said he had been advised
that to grant the demands of the miners
would throw a burden of the most serious
sort upon other industries-a burden so
serious and so grave that it might have
the effect of throwing scores, # not
hundreds of thousands out of employ
ment, and that it might cripple the export
trade in coal, iron, steel, machinery and
shipping.
4 commission of inquiry, the premier
added, would be appointed. The commits
sion would cover the questions of wages
and hours of work, the cost Of production
and distribution of coal, the general or
ganization of the coal fields, sanitation,
social conditions and other matters
Justice Sankey, of the Kings county
bench division, would be chairman
U. S. Coal Cheaper.
The allegation Of the miners that the
mines could afford the extra burden if
certain measures were taken to save
waste was a legitimate subject for in
|0uiry, the premier conceded. but he would
be inclined to doubt whether economics
in this direction could wipe out the extra
eight or 10 shillings ton which the de-
mand would involve. The profits of the
golfers thruout the kingdom for five
years before the war had amounted to
exactly a shilling ton.
Mr.. Lloyd George pointed out the cost
|of coal at the pit mouth in this country
was II shillings as against IL shillings in
the United States. If the demands were
|Rranted, he said, the cost here would be
about 26 shillings.
Already Losing Trade.
The country, the premier said, had al
ready lost large orders from Brazil where
before the war the British had virtually
dominated the market. Orders were also
being lost from Argentina.
According to information in possession
BIZ the government. Mr.. Lloyd George con-
tinued, the cost of steel already was high
and would 60 up 10 per cent if the price
