Senate Committee Informed
That the Five Dominant Con-
Germs in the Industry Are
Meeting With Competition
REGULATION OPPOSED
independents Express the Conclusions
That the Law Of supply and Demand
Would Serve Sufficiently to Protect
the Consumer

Washington, Aug. 20-Independent
packers appearing before the Senate agri-
culture committee to-day challenged most
Of the statements Of the Federal Trade
Commission on which proposals for
stringent regulation of the five dominant
concerns in the industry are based.
The Independent representatives insisted
that they were meeting and furnishing
lively competition at both ends OF the
industry-in the purchase Of livestock for
their plants and in the sale Of meats to
the retailer-and expressed the conclusion
that the law of supply and demand would
serve sufficiently to protect the consumer
Their view was supplemented by that
Of retail butcher, and given minor sup
port in the appearance of a vegetable
cannery representative and the head of
a milk -condensing business to object to
licensing provisions Of the Kenyon bills
which they felt would apply to their
business if not changed.
Committee members particularly Ken
yon, republican. Iowa, author Of the
regulation measure, and Senator Capper.
republican, of Kansas, put to the packer
representatives pointed questions bearing
on the establishment of the American In
stitute Of Packing, its Washington Of
hces. and activities, as we'll as entering
into the subject of profits
isn't the institute office here to fight
any kind of regulation" Senator Ken
yon asked r. Davis Hill. who headed a
delegation Of independent packers of
Baltimore.
I'm not an officer Of it," Mr.. Hill
| said, but I suppose they want to be on
the ground to be familiar with all legis-
lative proposals affecting the industry"
Understand l am not saying they are
wrong" Senator Kenyon continued "or
that there is anything wrong in their
methods, but do you know about their
| agents and publicity men here. or who is
| going to pay for them?''
Il suppose there will be dues assessed
for that" Mr.. Hill said. That's the
| usual way"

Return of Roads to Owners With
Legislative Guarantees of
Adequate Revenues and Ef-
ficient Service Recommended
PLUMB PLAN ATTACKED
1t Is Asserted That It's Prov!siOns for
Retirement Of Private Capital Would
Deprive Ronds OF One Third Of the
Lines Book Value

Washington, Aug. 2o.-Railway manage
ment as represented by tho Association
of Railway Executives to-day presented
to Cong It's plan for placing the
railroad business of the country upon a
stable basis
Appearing before the House interstate
commerce committee, Thomas Dewitt
Cuyler, chairman of the association, rec
commended on behalf of his organization
return of the railroads to private opera
tion with legislative guarantees of ade-
quate revenues to the roads and efficient
service to the public. Both Mr. Cuyler
and Alfred P. Thorn. counsel of the
association, another witness, attacked
! the Plumb plan for tripartte control of
| the roads under the government owner
ship as an impraciicabIe system which
| the American people, when fully In
| formed, would surely reject.
Mr.. Thorn devoted his testimony largely
to an attack on the Plumb plan, assert
| ing that it's provision Tor retirement Of
| private capital would deprive the rail-
| roads of one-third Of the lines bool,
value.
This provision, he added. also would
be in conflict with supreme court de-
cisions because it provided for a legis-
should be excluded in determining what
! the government should pay 10 the rail
| owners. Congress, he asserted could
make no such reservation. because the
determination Of value is purely a judi
| cal question.
Wage features Of the Plumb plan, Mr..
Thorn said. might be Judged from past
and present demands of rail employees
considered in the light of the employees
full control over the wages, which he
contended they would have under the
plan
| Government regulation Of railroads
was blamed for the present condition OF
the lines. He asserted that the regua-
, tion had been repressive and corrective
and had not taken into consideration the
| maintenance of efficiency. He added
! however, that he did not ask that regu-
lation be dismissed, but that it be made
successful. adding that the great prob.
lem before Congress was to stabilize the
railroad business so that private inves-
tors would be attracted by rail securi-
! ties.
