Edward Morris Testifies
Before Committee on In
terstate an d Foreign
Commerce
Declares Charges Against Pack
ers are Direct Result of
Efforts of Selfish
interests

Protesting vigorously against the
proposed legislation which will take
from the packers all accessories OF
their business, leaving them only the
simple killing of meat and its prepa-
ration for the market, Mr.. Edward
Morris, president of Morris & Co.,
this week gave the Committee on In
terstate and Foreign Commerce of
the House of Representatives his
reasons for declaring such action
would spell the ultimate ruin of one
of the nations greatest and most ef-
ficient industries. He asserted that
to place the stock yards, stock yard
terminals, refrigerator cars, cold stor-
age farehouses and branch houses un-
der Government ownership or super
vision would not only be disastrous
to the business itself, but would in
evitably increase the cost of living by
forcing up the price of the products
in which the packers deal
According to Mr.. Morris the pack
ers have nothing to fear from any
honest investigation, "if the policy of
the Government is to get foods to the
people as cheaply as possible. If the
policy is to have two men do the
work where one could do it Just as
efficiently then that is another ques-
ton"
Mr.. Morris assumed the offensive
when he discussed the action of the
Market Committee of the American
National Live Stock Association.
This Committee, according to its at
torney, Mr.. Walter L. Fisher, is re-
sponsible for the investigation made
by the Federal Trade Commission
The avowed object of the Market
Committee is to secure for the cattle
raiser higher prices for his stock,
which, said Mr.. Morris, naturally
means high prices for the finished
product.
Mr., Morris called attention to the
fact that Mr.. Fisher refused to have
to do with the crustde of the
Market Committee until fund had
been collected. Such fund. accord

Bishop w. H. Heard of Eighth
Episcopal District Makes
Strong Plea for
Humanity

The Annual Conference Of the At
rican Methodist Episcopal Church
which convened here at noon yester-

day. The meeting yesterday was

mittees and officers for the next year
Bishop w. H. Heard, of the 9th Epis-
copai district, opened the meeting
with a general discussion of present
day matters. The Bishop told of the
progress that was being made in
other states, and expressed the opin-
ion that the spirit of the people OF
this state was leading them to
plane of living that would bring
them nearer to God as they go on
through life. Most of his address
was devoted to the hope which the
future holds forth for peace. when
we learn to love the Lord our God
above all else," said the Bishop,
"and when we learn 10 love our
neighbors as ourselves, then win we
have peace on earth that will be last
ing"
At the session held last night, the
annual sermon of the conference was
delivered by Rev. c. P. Hardin. He
made a strong plea for the cortinua-
tion Of the good work of the church
and for the salvat on of humanity
from the grasp of pettiness. He
urged all to remember at all times
that they were Christians, and to live
a Christian life.

Oil And Gas Considered
as a Possible Revenue for
Development. lndi c a.
tons Favorable
Many Morgan City People I'M
pressed with possi-
bilities Of Nat
ural Gas

Investigation on the possibilities
of oil and gas by the people of Nor
gan City who have been identified
with this character of town develop
ment, has interested a large portion
of people to such an extent that the
question has been asked, why
shouldn't there be oil and gas here,
where surface indications are so ia
vorable,"
There has been no answer in the
negative. Shrewd business men and
local professional men are really in
earnest as to the logical outcome of
oil and gas.
From accounts OF those who have
made trips over this SETON, there ap-
pears to be belief, that it is only a
question of few years. if not actual
months, that Morgan City will see oil
derricks reaching UP in the air and
oil drilling successfully in oil.
Such rosy hued prospect makes
people get right down to real ball
bearing tactics as to the real merits
of such bright future expansions, and
gives the city a feeling of real worth
of values that are worth advertising
further than within olar own confines.
AS further indication of possible
oil and gas. we mention that at the
coast 18 miles from Morgan City,
there are two wells which have re-
ceived considerable favorable men,
tion. In fact, two representatives
from nationally known oil company
of New York have been on a quiet
investigation at these wells, in which,
so it is reported, some very fine re-
ports with sample of high grade
specimens taken from the wells was
forwerded to New York.
1t is known that only recently, a
local capitalist was seeking several
experienced oil drillers. These facts
gaining publicity tends to lead one
to the belief that there is something
doing"
Another view of what may be do.
ing, is the fact, that when you try to
ascertain what interests are going
after the oil and gas industry, there
is has:y Withdrawing from the pub
lie eye, of these people. which leads
to the opinion that where there's
smoke there's bound to be some fire.
At time when Morgan City is 60
ing ahead with new proposed busi-
ness expansion and incoming prospec-
tive business, it fits in with the pro-
sressive plans of the city to have the
people become deeply interested in
what may be developed within tho
borders OF the city.
The Review expects to be able to
give more definite facts to the devel-
topment of these two new possible
fields of industry within the very
near future. ~ ~ -..,A >,

President U. S. Shipping
Board Announces Need
Of Merchant Marine
for this Country
Will Leave France on Homeward
Bound Vessel. Anxious For
Policy Of Shipbuildiing
Construction Continued

Advices from France, state that
Edward N. Hurley, president Of the
United States Shipping Board, is
homeward bound for these shores and
that prior to settling his affairs con-
corning shipping abroad, gave the AS.
sociated Press an interview in which
he"felt certain that the American
people had determined to have and
maitain a merchant marine large
enough to make it certain that they
would not be dependent on other
nations for their foreign trade.
AS soon as the armistice was signed
he continued. he had recognized a
great many questions would arise in
connection with the American ship
ping program that would require
first hand knowledge of what was
planned to be done by the other ma
tions engaged in shipping, and he had
come to Europe in this connection.
Mr.. Hurley said that now the war
pressure had been relieved, Ameri.
cans and others interested with them
with shipping under American regis
try, were anxious for definite infor-
nation concerning future plans for
merchant marine so as to settle
questions as to:
What is the character and extent
of the government construction pro-
gram?
What was the plan for continuing
operations?
If government operations is to be
discontinued, on what basis will the
ships be operated privately and to
what extent will government control
be maintained!
Collateral with these questions,
but also of great importance, are
those that relate to the future con-
struction program as to the name
and type of ships to be built and
whether certain types of ships al
! ready constructed shall be used for
foreign account.
Mr.. Hurley has also said within the
last sixty days he had secured much
information on the construction pro.
grams, operating problems and gen.
eral plans of the other maritime
! powers, and that the information OBJ.
tanned has particular reference to the
questions now under discussion by
the United States. He feels that a
result of his investigations he will
be able on his return to the United
States to present information and
data obtained while in England
which will bear directly upon the
question involved, and should be of
great assistance in determining the
best future policy for the American
merchant marine.
Some Of the other maritime pow
ers. M. Hurley added, through Off
cial and unofficial agencies, have felt
called upon to intimate the belief
that the United States will have
