Ask for Presidents Letter.

Al a conference before the general
session this morning. the labor group
requested Chairman Lane to read the
Presidents letter. AIR. Lane did not
desire to read it to single group
and consequently gave il TO the full
conference. 1t had been written to
him to be used at his discretion, and
he said yesterday he would use 1t
only as a last resort to prevent dis
solution of the conference.
MIR. Lane and others in the confer
ence said the opposition OF the labor
group to Mr.. Spargo's resolution was
based upon the desire of some tndi-
vidual members of the labor dele
gates to remain at liberty to with
draw from the conference If they de-
sired. 1t was said that should any OF
,hano withdraw new delegates prob
shIv would be appointed and the labor
croup remain in the conference.

Will Support Resolution.

Senator Harris announced that he
would support the resolution offered
by Senator Watson for an investiga-
ton by the Senate interstate COM
merce committee of the charges made
against the employees of the trade
commission.
DENYING that he had attacked men,
bers of the federal trade commission,
Senator Watson insisted that his at
tack had not been made to bolster up
the case of the packers.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa. author OF
one of the bills for the regulation of
the meat packers business. cross-ques-
toned Senator Watson as to where he
got his information about the employees
of the trade commission, demanding to
know if he had not received the infor-
nation from the packers or their repre-
sentatives.
Senator Watson replied that far from
receiving the Information from the pack
ers. he had received it from other eni-
ployes of the federal trade commission,
and that he had talked to only one rep
resentative of the packers after he had
received this Information.
Servants of Public.
During his statement in support of
the federal commits sion, Senator Harris
said:
THE Federal Trade Commission
stands between the consuming public
and the monopolies of this country. If
you discredit the commission by
charges against it's employees and the
commissioners or otherwise. 1T viii do
more to perpetuate the monopoly and
continue the high cost of living than
anything that can be done.
There has never been lobby in
this country so powerful as that of the
packers. The organization of the pack
ers is so great and the combination so
complete that they can put out of
business any wholesale or retail grocer
in any part of the country. If the SEN
ator from Indiana does not know it,
many others do, that they are good
friends when ii comes to contributions
to campaign funds, but are enemies
of the public when it comes to reducing
the high cost of living
Senator Harris insisted that he was
as much opposed to socialism and
bolshevism as any member Of the
Senate and that he would like to see
all men with such beliefs dismissed
from the government service and
sent out of the country.
But / hope that while we are rid
sirable class that the distinguished
senator from Indiana will join with
other senators who are trying to
enact constructive legislation to regu-
late the packers. The packers are
row spending millions of dollars to
discredit and destroy the federal
trade commission, but none of their
efforts have been as effective as those
of the senator from Indiana"

ARMY FOOD BUYERS
IN TRADE ACCUSED
Government Begins Inquiry
as to Alleged Profits
From ReseIIing.
DEALERS MUST EXPLAIN

Small storekeepers who have bought
goods from the Army store at Liberty
Hut and are reselling them at profits
of so to 125 per cent may find them
selves in serious difficulty with the
Department OF Justice. One dealer.
who is believed to have resold canned
goods purchased from the government
already has been summoned to the
Office of Clarence r. Wilson, chairman
appear this afternoon to make ex-
PLANTATION.
Orders Given to Clerks.
Mai. Graham. superintendent of the
store, has ordered his clerks not to
sell to retail groceries or to hotels,
but there is no way of singing out
such buyers from the thousands of
Liberty Hut. Rumors that certain
small stores were selling goods bear
ing the same labels as government
supplies caused him to investigate.
and the evidence obtained was turned
over to Mr.. Wilson.
Agents of the Department OF Justice
aided by Maj Graham, are working
on two or three other cases where
goods from the Army store are re-
ported to have been resold at ex-
orbitant prices. Canned corn. peas.
beans. tomatoes and other goods
selling at cents each at the Army
store are understood to have been
resold for IA to 20 cents each. Corn
meal and bacon sales also are being
Investigated. Not more than one case
of two dozen cans of food are sold
to any one customer at the Army
store. but the rush of trade makes it
comparatively easy for "repeaters'
to get by.
Based on Profits.
1t is doubtful if the mere resale of
Army foodstuffs would constitute an
offense, but the profits obtained, it is
understood. make the dealer re-
sponsible under the anti-profiteering
law. Maj. Graham said today that
he was taking every precaution to see
Hut went direct to the consumer.
A large consignment of -four has
been received at the store which is
being sold at 6 cents a pound. No
more than a 100-pound sack will be
sold to one customer. and sales of as
title as ten pounds will be made.
Canned sausag e. Vienna sauSage and
a quantity of spices have been added
to the food stock. and these items are
selling rapidly. A fresh assortment
of new and reclaimed wool blankets
has been put on sale this week

Must Force Rule Civil Life?

At time when the nations OF
the world are endeavoring to find
a way Of avoiding international
war, are we to confess that there
is no method to be found for car
rying on industry except in the
spirit and with the very method
of war? Must suspicion and hatred

industrial workers to live together

worthy of the large things done
