of the big packers was made today
by Sen. Fernald. Maine. in a speech
on the senate floor lie urged that
attempts to regulate big industries
Of the country be abandoned and
free play given to individual inter
prises.
Fernald himself a large packer
of vegetables, declared the big pack
ers are efficient and economical and
declared there is no reason why they
should be singled out for attack. If
they are licensed. all business should
be treated similarly Fernald de
clared.
In opposing the Kenyon and Ken
drick bills to regulate the packing
industry Fernald attacked the fed
eral trade commission.
The federal trade commission
has laid great emphasis on what
they call extortionate profits taken
by the packers and in my opinion
have gone to great lengths to mis-
lead the country" Fernald declared.

investment of the five packers was
5.6 per cent. according 10 the food
administration report. No business
OF such size is run on so small mar

Fernald repeated many charges
made by the big packers against the
federal trade commission, chaging
that the hearings were one-sided
and that unfair methods We're used.
He called the Kenyon bill social
istic and un-American."

In outlining the policy of the state
with respect to the suppression of

the governor declared that the steel
car employees had a perfect right
TO quit work but that they have no
right 10 interfere with operations Of

that companies had arrived in Ham

President Wilson Monday night gave out
statements showing the progress real
lied and voicing their first official as
Surance that the end was in sight It
is noted that the Clemenceau and Will
son statements were very general. lack
ing specific details, and there is every
reason to believe that the statement
which the British prime minister. Lloyd
George, is expected TO give out today
will be Of the same general character.
The procedure with the enemy pleni-
potentiaries is also receiving attention.
One plan under consideration is for the
council of four to hold the first meeting
with the Germans and deliver the docu-
ment. This would not be public ses
sion and its main purpose would be to
arrange effective disposal of the business
without prolonged discussion.
An alternative plan is for the entire
membership of the Peace Conference to
proceed to Versailles for Il formal ses-
sion. at which the treaty would be deliv
cred. President Wilson. Colonel House,
the members of the council and officers
of the protocol are working out these
details.
The meetings with the Germans. it
seems probable, will continue for ten
or fifteen days.
The treaty of peace will be signed in
the famous Hall of Mirrors in the palace
at Versailles.
The German delegates while at Yer
saillps will reside in wing of the
Hotel des Reservoirs. adjoining the
prefecture of police, according to ar
announced by Paul Du-

Conference. French delegates or men,

The delegates recognized that the de-

satisfied in many cases, but decided that
the members of the unions should not
work on May Day in order to show
the power of the organized working
classes and the spirit of solidarity Of
the unions.
