like the round trip tickets we had a
few years ago to the west for pas

it did not matter whether we went,

Don't Go to Detroit

Don't go to Detroitr-this is the
gist of a warning just issued to all dis
charged soldiers and sailors by Col.
Arthur Woods assistant to the sec
retary of war.
Widespread circulation has been Civ
en- to Il report among returned service
men to the effect that this city is
greatly in need of men and that they
can readily find jobs in the automo-
bile industries. AS q result thousands
Of eX-service men have gone there,
thereby taxing the utmost Detroit $
housing facilities.
Don't make for Detroit lust be.
cause some chance acquaintance hap
pens to tell YOU that there are plenty
of good jobs there for the asking" is
Colonel Woods advice. when you
get there you will in all probability be
disappointed in finding that Detroit
is working over the problem of caring
for its own returning men,"
Employment figures show that of
all the men applying in Detroit for
employment % per cent are from out
Of town, and the reports of the welfare
organizations show that practically all
men applying for financial help do
not live there. Notwithstanding this
burden Detroit has responded to the
occasion and has succeeded in finding
jobs for many of these men. However
the influx of labor during the past
few months has been so great that
nearly all the really good jobs have
been taken.

REGULATION is ESSENTIAL
publicity Bulletin)

The packers are trying to raise a fog
concerning the Kenyon bill by making
people think that it would establish a
license system" As a matter of fact
no such system is involved in the bill.
Would requiring Il reckless driver to
give bond for future good conduct create
u bonding system? The idea is little
short Of absurd. Obviously, the bond
would be required only Of driver who
was reckless and would not affect those
who did not drive automobiles, nor
those who did not drive them recklessly.
The fact concerning the meat packing
industry is that it has been found to
be in the control of a monopoly. This
fact has been found by the Food Ad-
ministration and by the Federal Trade
Commission. Also, previous govern
ment investigation, long before the Fed
eral Trade Commission was established,
has proved the same fact.
The question is, how can we make
the antitrust laws effective in stamping
out monopoly in the meat packing in
dustry, and remove the menace of Il
great food trust? We do not want to
destroy the meat packers, but they
must be regulated.
Past experience shows that it has been
almost impossible to convict the trust
and when convicted the results have
been small. Therefore, Senator's Ken
yon and Kcndrick, in drawing their bills
which are now before the senate com.
mittee on agriculture, have endeavored
to put teeth in them-teeth which will
be effective in checking monopoly.
They believe that the Investigations
of the Food Administration and of the
Federal Trade Commission establish a
prima facie case that monopoly control
exists. Therefore, these bills shift the
burden of proof to the meat packers
That means that when the Secretary of
Agriculture shall find that the meat
packers are disobeying the law, he may
take prompt action against them, which
action will be effective unless the pack
ers can prove in the courts that the
findings of the Secretary Of Agriculture
are wrong. To accomplish this, the
bills provide that the packers must go
through the form of taking out H.
cense, in which they agree to live up
to the antitrust laws. If they are
found to be in violation OF these laws.
the bills provide that the Secretary of
Agriculture may either suspend or re
woke the license. The meat packers may
then appeal to the courts and have full
hearing before action is taken. Thus he
is provided with his day in court"
This is not a "license system" like
that enforced by the Food Administra-
tion. and which has come to be bug
bear to so many business men. 1t is not
precedent for other business. 1t Is
merely wise provision designed to
make it possible to reach properly and
effectively a proven monopoly.

MARINES MAY ENLIST
FOR SHORT TERM

Washington, Sept. 23-Officers Of
the Marine Corps are looking forward
to a marked increase in the number of
enlistments i'm that branch of the ser
vice due to the fact that President
Wilson has directed that enlistments
i'm the Marine Corps, until June 80,
1920, may be for terms Of two, three
or four years.
While onlstments in the Marine
Corps have shown Il steady increase
i'm recent months. recruiting officers
say that many men who desired to
serve with the Marines have declined
to enlist for four years and have gone
into some other service where the en-
listmcnt period was shorter.
The following telegram, announcing
the change has been sent to all re
cruiting officers Of the Marine Corps
The president has directed that en-
listments in the Marine Corps until
June 80, 1920, may be for terms Of
