receiving and that Congressman them
selves are "only working for their

in the land" He urged a recess, how
ever, saying that except for one year
Congress has been in session practi-
cally without letup since 1908. He also
argued that the Senate would take no
action or House legislation until tina
treaty was disposed of.
Efforts of the drys to hold the House
until the passage of the prohibition
bill failed. Republican Leader Mondell
declared the House would not be in.
f1uenced by any such move. and Sem

have to go over.

tempt again the reconstruction legisla-
tion promised at the opening of the

Swift Official Predicts
Cheaper Beef in Fall
Asserts Prices Are Lower Now
Than Last Year; Denies Plan
to Dump Against Army
Surplus

Beef will be cheaper in the fall when
the range cattle are fed to the market,
a local official of Swift & Co. declared
Yesterday The reduction Of prices in
the autumn is one of the natural ten
denotes of the market, he explained,
but did not take place last year because
of the abnormal condition Of the mer-
ket and the demands of the Allied
armies.
He declared that beef prices at pres
ent are lower than those of last year at
this time, and that the few obvious in
dications point to even lower prices.
He illustrated the reduction by a table
giving the average prices charged for
this and last year. The average price
for the week ending June % last year
was 2441 cents pound, compared with
1882 for the week ending June 21 this
year. The average price for the week
ending June 20 last year was 21.49 and
July 6, 1929. The average for the week
ending June 20 this year was 1880 and
July 5, 18.48.
charged in purchasing army food stores
from the packers, pointing out that the
heavy demand made prices high at the
time. He also denied the assertions
made by Edwin A. O'Malley, Deputy
Commissioner of Public Markets, and
others. that the packers would reduce
their prices when the army surplus
stocks were released on the market to
meet the governments prices and pro-
baby causing the army held commo-
dities to be taken off the domestic mar
ket.
"The packers have ten times as much
stuff as the army could release" he
snid. ut would be folly to lower the
prices Of these vast stores as the losses
would be greater than any involved by
sales in competition with the army
food.

nky general, revealed that the Rus
SIAN Bolshiviki are pouring S2OOO,OOO
a month into the United States 10

day was ready to rush through funds
for the immediate suppression OF the
nationwide plot.
THESE disclosures were made by
Mr. Garvin before the Senate ApprO-
priations Committee, in the handling
Of the sundry civil bill, with result
that the committee recommends an
appropriation Of $1,000 600 for gen
efal crime suppression, an increase
OF 5000 900 over the House provision.
Another special fund of 100000 for
use by the Department of Justice, for
the deportation Of anarchist aliens,
also was recommended by the COM
rnittee as a result OF Mr.. Garvin's dis
closures.

mended the continuance Of the war
