WITNESSES INDUCED I'D FIGHT PACKING
 CONTROL, CHARGED
Haney Intimates Big Five Are Paying the Railroad Fares and Hotel Billsa
 of Witnesses
By a.,ss.s,.s rr.w

Washington, September 9.-Charges that the packers were inducing wit nesses to attend the hearings of the Senate agricultural committee in oppo- sition to the Kenyon -Kendrick bills proposina federal licensing of the packing industry were made today by Lewis H. Haney, representing the Southern Wholesale Grocers' associa- tion.
 Mir. Haney gave out after today's hearing a letter he had written to Sem ator Gronna, North Dakota. chairman of the committee. in which he sug- gested that the committee call Mir. Brooks of Swift & Co and put him un- der oath"
 Ask him." the letter continued, how much money the five big packers have spent or have become obligated to pay to date in railroad fares, hotel bills, etc. for any of the witnesses"
 group of stockmen from the middle west, principally Iowa, and several wholesale meat and produce dealers from various cities joined in defense of the big five" packers today.
 It's a pity this sort of bill had to come from prosperous state like Iowa" said J. s. Blackwell, of Musca- tine, referring to the fact that Senator Kenyon of Iowa is sponsor for the chief regulative measure. Iowa cattle breeders are prosperous and land val ues have gone up in the past few years from $50 to $500 an acre, due to the fact that the packers haJe made . market for it's produce"
 Do you think the packers are en- tirely responsible for these high prices? Don't you think world shortage had something to do with it?" queried Sem ator McNary of Oregon.
 Blackwell admitted that there were some other causes for the Iowa pros- perity, but insisted the packers were entitled to part of the credit. He spoke of the federal trade commission as be- ing responsible for one-sided report on the packing industry.
 C. H. Will and J. J. LeghorIl. also from Muscatine, and J. B. Nichols of Nichols. la, supported Biackwe els statement.
