FEARS PACKERS
are STRONGER
than GOVERNMENT
Federal Trade Commission
Member Afraid of Weak
Dealings With Packers.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Victor Muir
dock, member Of the Federal Trade
Commission told the House Interstate
Commerce Committee today that he
feared the five big packers had ac-
quired so much power that even the
United States government might not
be strong enough to combat it.
even Food Administrator Hoover"
Mr. Murdoch said, "would not reach
into Chicago and take the license of
a great malefactor, although he could
rescind the license of one of the little
fellows"
This testimony fthe trade COM
mission followed his statement that
facts gathered during the commits
sion's investigation of the meat pack
ing industry had been turned over to
the department of justice and that he
the antitrust law would result.
Afraid Legislation Weak. Z
Mr.. Murdoch expressed fear that the
legislative branch of the government
would deal weakly instead of vigor-
ously with the packers. His state
ment that the packers were we'll a.
ware where there will be vacancies on
senate and house committees which
would consider their case and that they
would try to see to it that "their
friends" got on these committees
brought sharp questioning from men,
bers of the committee. Mr.. Murdoch
said that he did not in any way mean
to infer that there had been "stuff-
ing or pudding" of committees in the
past.
"But / do say, 1.-THE witness contin-
ued, chat even while we here are dis
cussing things that have happened in
the past, the big interests of the coun-
trv are thinking in terms fthe fu-
ture. They are always well ahead of
u.s."
Urges Control.
Commissioner Murdoch strongly ur-
ged enactment of legislation before
the committee for government control
and regulation of the meat industry.
Replying to questions of committee
members he, said it was entirely pos
sible that if the meat industry were
made subject to legislation such as
that proposed, every other business
might be made subject to similar legis.
lation.
The committee closed its hearing
with the examination of Mr.. Muir
dock, who devoted considerable time
to discussion of the so-called interna-
tional meat pool which he sharply
criticised in the commissions report
to the president last summer.

PACKING INDUSTRY DENIES USE OF
PRESS WITH ILLEGITIMATE INTENT

It would amount to practical govern
ment operation, which, with this com
plex industry, would result in greater
disaster than that which we have
with the government operation of rail.
roads, telegraph and telephone lines
There is an unprecedented propa-
ganda in favor of this legislation and
against the packers. The wholesale
growers and the federal trade COM
mission, for example, are active with
propaganda of this character.
1--WE are doing exactly what every
American citizen has perfect right
to do. We are opposing this bill in
open and legitimate manner and will
continue to do so. It Is unthinkable
that persons whose investments and
business are threatened by radical and
vicious legislation cannot lay the facts
before the people.
High Cost Of Living.
"The senator had something to say
on the high cost of living. Our bust
ness is conducted efficiently and at
the minimum profit of small frac.
ton of one cent per pound. Our vol.
ume enables US to retain such a small
profit that it cannot materially affect
the cost to the consumer. The pack
ers would gladly welcome an investi-
cation by an unprejudiced, competent
and non-political body into the whole
food problem, from farm to table, in.
elusive. 1t is unfortunate that such
an examination was not made by the
federal trade commission as directed
by the president"

YANKS CONTINUE
TO MARRY MAIDS
OF FATHERLAND
American Soldiers Engage in In.
ternational Alliances Under
Misapprehension
WILL NOT BE ANNULLED

Coblenz, Thursday, July "a, by the
Associated Press.-Reports of mar
riages between American soldiers and
German girls have been received at
headquarters from various parts of
the occupied area during the past
few days, but as yet no charges have
been filed against any of the men, as
it is understood that most Of the mar
riages were due to misunderstanding
regarding the anti-association regula-
ton.
A week before the treaty was sign
ed, several of the army ,ohaplains,
through a misunderstanding, inform
ed the soldiers that marriages were
permitted as soon as the Germans
accepted the peace terms. Officers
say that number of marriages took
place before this belief was corrected
by special order from headquart-
ers and calling attention of officers
and men that until the United States
had ratified the treaty Germany and
America were at war technically and
the regulations prohibiting association
were still in force.
At headquarters, 1t is said that ev-
er after the United States ratifies the
treaty, marriages with German girls
will be prohibited by army order.

Chicago, Ill, July 26.-The packing
industry replied today to Senator
Kenyon's assertion on the floor Of the
senate that "the greatest propaganda
that ever had been undertaken in this
country is now in full swing with
reference to the bill for regulation of
the packers" -.
The reply was made by the insti.
tute Of American meat packers, com
prising about two hundred packing
firms. Thomas E. Wilson is chair
man of the committee which is now
directing the work Of the institute.
Senator Kenyon has charged in the
senate of the United States that the
packers are sending out propaganda
against this bill to place the packing
industry under federal license, as II
there were something wrong in this.
Public Has Right to Know.
"The entire public is vitality inter
ested in the correct solution Of the
high cost Of living.
"Complete understanding of all
facts will dissipate suspicion and
prejudice which if relied upon for ad-
verse legislation, will harm us all
the livestock producer and the con-
sumer as we'll as the packers.
I'm the last analysis the public will
decide those issues and to them we
will present the facts.
Life Of Industry Threatened.
"The bill introduced by the senator
threatens the life Of the packing in
dustry. 1t is un-American and is a
dangerous precedent for all business.

CHEAPER OIL TO
VICTORY
OF STANDARD co.
Assistant Attorney General
Packard Gets Agreement
From Big Corporation

If the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana
secures from the United States cir
cult court of. appeals at St. Paul the
injunction which it has prayed to re-
strain North Dakota officials from
collecting the tax on oil and gas pro-
vided for in an act of the last assem-
bly,, an immediate reduction Of one
cent per gallon on gasoline and kero-
sene will result. advises Assistant
Attorney General F. E. Packard.
Mr.. Packard, who represented the
state in the preliminary hearing of
this action at St. Paul last week, ex-
tracted from the Standard Oil Co. a
promise that should temporary in
junction be issued, the company will
not while this injunction remains in
force continue to pass on to its con-
sumers in North Dakota the tax Of
one-cent per gallon assessed by the
last assembly on petroleum products.
The result will be, it is said, a saving
Of more than $250,0OO per annum to
patrons of the Standard Oil Co. alone.
Neither side to the controversy was
prepared to present briefs at the
hearing held in St. Paul last Tuesday.
Some authorities were cited, and a
little time was taken up with argu-
ments. The court then gave the liti-
gants an extension Of Is days for the
preparation of briefs. Judge S. L..
Nuchols of Mandan will assist the at
torney generals office in preparing
briefs for the defense. The Standard
Oil Co. in attacking the oil tax act al
leges that it is discriminatory, unjust,
class legislation and generally uncon-
stitutional and Objectionable.

CONGRESS ASKED.
TO BUY KILLDEER
MOUNTAINS PARK
Congressman James H. Sinclair
Introduces Bill Creating
Reserve

Senator A. A. Liederbach of Dunn
county. father of the Killdeer nation
al park idea, announced today that
Congressman James H. Sinclair Of
the third North Dakota district, who
served with Liederbach two years ago
in the Flickertail house of representa-
tives, has introduced in the national
congress a bill making an appropria-
ton of 100000 for the purchase and
improvement of this beautiful foot
hills region.
Senator Lieder5ach is inclined to
believe that congress will regard the
project with favor, not only because
the Killdeer mountains will form an
excellent game preserve and an ideal
national playground, but for the fur
ther reason that there is so much Of
historical significance in connection
with this section which should be pre-
served. Some of the most famous
Indian battles in early territorial days
were fonught in the Killdeer noun
tains. Sully, Sibley and other great
Indian fighters have campaigned
there, and there is hardly a foot of
the ground which does not hold a 70.
mantle interest for every son Of the
west.
Senator Liederbach introduced a
joint resolution memorializing con-
gress when he was member Of the
house in the 18th assembly. Both
houses promptly adopted the resolu-
tion, and it was forwarded to Wash
ington, where it found congress too
busy with war plans to give this mat
ter any immediate consideration Sin.
clair's bill seems to have come at a
time when congress is more favorably
disposed toward proposals Of this ma
ture.
The Sinclair bill would set aside a
number Of 20-acre tracts within the
Killdeer mountain preserve as homes
for various patriotic and fraternal or
ganizations which might desire to es-
tablish an asylum or santorium there.
Senator Liederbacll already is behind
a campaign for the erection in the
Killdeer national park of $60,000
home for superannuated members of a
fraternal organization in which he Is
active.

WILSON BANS SMUGGLING
Issues Formal Proclamation For
bidding Carrying Arms
Over Mexican Border

Washington, D. c., JUL 26.-Repeal
of the Canadian reciprocity act of 1911
was recommended today by the house
ways and means committee. Some
democrats joined with republicans in
voting for repeal, but others said that
action should be deferred pending
further investigation.
Reduction of the war tax on fruit
juices to two cents gallon, urged
by western producers of grapes and
loganberries, was also recommended.
The committee also voted to recon-
ment repeal of ten per cent soft drink
war tax. Though no record vote was
taken, democratic members urged
that all repeals be deferred until
means for replacing the lost revenue
was found.
Smuggling to Be Stopped.
Efforts to prevent the smuggling of
arms and ammunition into Mexico
from the United States are to be
doubled. This was made known to-
day at the state department after pub
fishing of proclamation by the pres
ident on July II transferring control
of munitions to the southern republic
to the state department.
President Wilson in his proclama-
tion referred to conditions of domes-
tic violence in Mexico promoted by
use Of arms or ammunitions Of war
produced in the United States and
warned citizens of this country that
violation Of any laws of congress Of
1912 or 1917 regulating shipments OF
munitions would be vigorously prose-
cuted." t.s... .s.. M
House Majority Wants Recess.
Majority leaders of the house have
decided to propos . to the senate leah
ers a five.week recess of the house
beginning next week, every effort in
the meantime being devoted to clear

There was some indication today
that senate leaders might raise OBJ
lection to the plan. Consent of the
o.taer body is necessary for either the
house or senate to recess for more
than three day periods at time.
Wilson Refuses Nothing.
