Too Few Refrigerator Cars, but

Help, Says Wilson.

CHICAGO. Aug. 25.-rhomas e.

American Meat Packers, commented
to-day on ownership of refrigerator
cars by packers as follows:
"The packers are willing to submit
the Justice Of the rederal Trade Com

vate car lines to the common sense Of
the American public. After an inyss-
tiRation by men inexperienced in
transportation questions, the Trade
Commission presented a report diH-
metrlcaliy opposed to that handed
down by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. composed OF men trained
In railroad work, after q six-year
study OF the question.
"There are admittedly too few re-
friKerator cars. Greater mileage OF
nacker cars was possible because a
load was waiting for every car 1856
days a year
"spread the use Of the packer
owned cars among shippers over the
entire country and mileage win be
reduced with a consequent increase
In cost Of meat foods or a necessary
reduction in live animal prices. II
would seem that IL real solution Ia
sought II might be found by some
agency bullding enough additional
cars TO meet the deficiency"

Mr.. Gompers wrote TO Judge Gary

he refuses 20 receive us or confer

Union. These are only a few and
in the list are some OF the most
powerful unions in the United States.
"Judg Gary has taken the position
all along that the United states

AMENDMENT.
On the floor OF the Senate this
afternoon Senator McCumber bitterly
attacked the action Of the Foreign
Relations Committee in adopting the

Senator McCumber declared the Re-
publican majority Of the committee
was attempting by the shantung
amendment 10 drive a poisoned dag
ger" into the Peace Treaty and to
place the United states In the posi-
tion OF a Dig bully" Mr.. McCumber
was the only Republican on the com
mIttee who voted against the amend
ment.
The speaker said mo greater blow
could ever be struck against the real
interests of China" than by the Com
mittee amendment, the actual pur-
pose OF which, he asserted, WAS TO kill
the treaty and the League. The
amendment provides that the old
German rights in shRntung Province
shall go to China in place Of Japan.
why did the majority Of this Com
mittee pause in the midst OF their

more?
THE purpose is apparent 1t Is to
