 Chairman Lodge, announcing the decis- ion after consultation with other com mitteee members, said the hearings seem cd essential to an intelligent judgment on the manifold provisions of the treaty. Democratic members. however. who said there had been an understanding that the committee would complete it's report to the senate this week., charged again that the treaty was being needlessly held up by the committee majority
 It was generally agreed that if the plan were carried out the treaty probably would not come out of committee before the end of the week.

Washington, August 25.-A 25 per cent increase in railroad rates must follow return of the railroads to pri- dent of the Northern Pacific railroad told the House interstate commerce committee today. This estimate, he added. was made on the assumption that there would be no more wage in- creases or advances, in material costs
 In advocating wage legislation. Mir Elliott said, "let the wives of the men vote on the strike; they are the most affected"
 The great majority of railroad em- ployes. he said. did not want to strike, and he urged some legislation for the adjustment of disputes. He suggested that labor unions be required to in- corporate and to file reports like busi- ness corporations, and that employees be compelled to serve notice before quitting work.
 Would 25 per cent increase solve the problem for the whole country?" asked representative sims. democrat Tennes- see.
 T thing it would" responded Mir. Elliott, adding that he preferred the rate increase to the continued payment of the government guaranteed com pensation. New England roads. he asserted. were in bad shape and were not earning the government guaran- teed compensation.
 Ava B. Johnson of Philadelphia, for mer president of the Baldwin Locomo- tive Works. urged the preservation of the interstate commerce commission as a judicial body.

He predicted that if authority over the ahount of revenue were left to the commission. it would bring on govern ment ownership in 10 years. if not in five.

Washington. August 25-Federal trade commission charges against the five lead ing packers on which the Kenyon and Kendrick bills proposing license regula- tion of the industry are based. were de- tural committee, in behalf of Swift & Go.
 l. D. H. Weld. manager of the depart ment of business research for the Swift company, was the only witness actually on the stand but his statements were supplemented occasionally by Henry Veeder, as general counsel for the com pany. and by John Chaplin, it's general auditor.
 Statistical analysis of Swift & Co.'S beef operations presented by Mir Weld fixed the cost price of fresh beef to the company in 1914 at s7.06 hundred weight and the selling price of s12.09 In 1918 the cost price had jumped 531 per cent or s10.S1, and the selling price had increased AZ per cent or to $17.77.

The beef in each ani- nal brought an average of s65 Il, and hides and byproducts $3l.9 The profit deGuced from this was 2S cents a hun dredweight.
 MT. Weld denied that any profits not known were concealed in the by-product distribution, and when the committees members pressed the point Mir Veeder declared the books of the company and all it's subsidiaries were open to it's ex- animation for verificxtion.
