Disruption Foreseen.

1.-The theories on which pending legis-
laton is based are not constructive,
they are not progressive. They are re-
dictionary. They would disrupt the great
manufacturing and marketing machines
which half a century of enterprise has
evolved, and the results would be detri-
mental not alone to the leading industry
of this nation. but even more so to that
portion of the public which produces
and to the entire public which con-
sumes food"
Possibility of government ownership
of stockyards and other adjuncts to the
packing industry drew from Mr.. Armour
reference to 'Ted tape and contro-
versies over trivial matters" such as
underground mail chutes.

Crouch said he saw two automobiles
speeding through B street, going east;
giving every indication of racing
They were moving so rapidly, he stat
ed, that he was unable to get the num-
Der of either of them. Presently he

the scene. he stated, he expected to
find dead bodies in the wreckage. He

DR.. Robinson was driving north on
Sd street on his way home. He saw
nothing of the approaching cars until
he reaGAe.d the intersection of the two
streets. The physician said he
thought the cars were racing and ex-
pressed the belief that they were GO
ing at the rate OF fifty miles an hour.
One car cleared his machine. but the
other struck the rear end of it and
jammed 1t against the curb at the
northeast corner Of the tntersecting
streets.
Policeman Crouch reached the scene
in time to assist DR.. Robinson to the
hospital and to arrest Dawson. Both

Conditions in Chicago.

The condition of the lower paid en-
ployes a. the federal building in Chi
cago was set forth by Mr. NageI. who
put into the record a letter which he
had written to Representative Mad
den of Illinois at the time the legisla-
tive bill was before the House appro-
priation committee asking that the
bonus or increase in pay be made $500
He said that these employees were the
most poorly paid of the government
employees. He said that charwomen
received $40 month, with a tempo
rary increase of $12 month. and that
elevator operators. laborcrs and
watchmen received $50 month with
a temporary increase of $40 a month
He contrasted this with the pay
given in Chicago by private concerns
for similar work. He said that eieya-
tor operators are paid S100 in build
ings almost adjacent to the federal
building, charwomen get $66 month
and laborers and watchmen, $S5 to $50
Mr.. Nagel said that the purchasing
power of the pay of the government
employees had shrung As per cent, ow-
ing to the increase in cost of living.

Denies Collusion Exists.

Charges by the commission Of COL
lusion among the five big packing
firms to control prices were denied
categorically by the witness for his
firm, as follows:
Armour & Co. are not now and
have not been for many years a
party, in the most remote degree, to
any pool. arrangement. agreement or
combination of any kind whatsoever
for the control, regulation or Hmita-
ton or restriction of the purchase of
live stock or the sale Of any of the
products or by-products thereof"
Mr.. Armour declared that there
was keen competition between his
firm and Swift. Morris, Cudahy and
Wilson. Percentages of purchases by
each firm at various markets, which
the commission alleged showed that
there was an agreement for each
packer to take only certain amount
of the live stock offered for sale,
thereby limiting competition, were as
serted to be dictated by plant capac-
ity and the experience of years.

thought it was a matter which should
be looked into. He called attention to

a bonus of $240 for practically all of
the government employees receiving up

almost impossible for many Of these
people to get along. urged that the bill

After the conference has heard such

Two Plans Suggested.
Opinion of q. S. Men.

OF all the courses suggested 1t would
appear that the last mentioned is the
least favored, certainly by the United
States. and it seems also that the first
named is attracting much support. The
recent agreement of the factions in
Poland is looked upon by some OBJ
servers as a step in this direction, the
assumption being that it was taken
in the belief by Poland that the asso-
ciated governments might consider the
sending of some armed forces in the
plan for building a wall around Rus
sian bolshevism SO as to cut 1t on
from western Europe.

NOLAN WAGE BILL
Up IN COMMITTEE
Three-DoIIar Minimum Pay
for U. S. Workers Defended
by Measures Sponsor.
CITES CHICAGO SITUATION

The Nolan SO minimum wage bill
for government employees was taken
UP for consideration by a subcommit-
tee of the Senate committee on edu-
cation and labor today. Representative
Nolan himself appearing before the
committee in support of the measure.
It already has passed the House.
The subcommittee in charge of the
measure consists of Senators Hollis of
New Hampshire, Jones of New Mexico
and Johnson of California. :
Charles f. Nagel of Chicago. vice
president of the National Federation
of Federal Employees. assistant Gus
cago, also appeared before the subcom-
mittee to advocate the passage of the
bill.
Thousands Are Underpaid.
Representative Nolan told the COM
mittee that there are thousands of un-
derpaid government employees, who,
with their families, are suffering be-
cause they are underpaid He de-
manded that final action be taken on
this bill designed to bring relief to
these government employees, and said
that the bill had been hanging fire for
several years.
Referring to the tales of suffering
that were unfolded by underpaid gov
ernment employees before the House
labor committee while the bill was
before that committee, Mr.. Nolan said
that these were not isolated cases. but
that they indicated the general con-
dition prevailing among the lower
paid government employees today. He
said, however. that many of these en-
ployes are backward about talking of
their financial straits

President Firm for Succor.

AS President Wilson is convinced
that the people of all the recently lib
Grated countries must be fed il they
are not to be in danger of lapsing into
bolshevism, and has asked Congress
to advance money for feeding them, 1t
is considered evident that the provis-
ioning problem continues to occupy q
prominent place in the discussions
now going on.
The plans for the league of nations
are continuing to develop. and IT il
deemed not improbable that the con-
ference will get to its first full discus
sions of that subject by the end Of this
week.

Fast Evaporatin9.

According to revenue officials In
Lexington, KY, prohibition is being
aided even by evaporation and leakage
Of whisky which is being held In bar
rels by the government. There are
S,224.016 gallons of whisky held in the
Lexington district alone. 1t is valued
at many millions of dollars. Fully as
much more is held in other revenue
districts in the state.
Revenue men say that in 16 years
this whole amount will have gone to
"staves," meaning evaporation and
leakage from the wood will leave only
the aroma To prove this, ii was
shown at the revenue Office that in
1880. at Paris, KY. $50 barrels OF
whisky was not bottled for IA years.
Then it was decided to put 1t into
new barrels. When the old barrels
were opened not over two gallons re-
manned in each BARREL so iremorseless
had been the process Of evaporation.

Cars for Apples Searee.

Apples are piling up in the packing
houses because of scarcity of cars in
which to ship them. One or two cars
come in every day, however, and the
fruit companies hope to be able to
get all the fruit off to market before
severe winter weather sets in. En-
NETT seems to be more fortunate than
her neighbors, possibly because the Fro
duction here is not so large. The fol-
lowing dispatch that appeared in the
Statesman from Payette on Tuesday
sets forth the situation there: "Glut-
ted with apples enough to satisfy their
1919 wants, apple packing houses of
Payette, Fruitland and New Plymouth

market on Monday and caused apple
growers, already frantic on account
