SAYS FARMER
SUFFERS FROM
MEAT CONTROL
Declares Packers are in
Control of Situation and
Producers Stand Losses.

by United Press,
WASHINGTON. sept 2.-Virtual
packer contro. Of livestock markets
is responsible for heavy losses to
producers during the last 10 days
Sen. Cappcr. Kansas. said today
The recent market break was
cited by Capper as "a reason why leg
islation along the lines proposed in
the Kenyon and Kendrick bills
should be cacted by congress.
Capper's statement comes on the
heels Of "A similar one from the Ma
tional Consumers league
while there is probably no proof
that the big packers actually con-
frolled the situation. I cannot but
believe that they have been a fact
or. Capper said.
ct think the market would have
been better off i'm such an emer-
gcncy If the big five did not have
practical control They did nothing
TO brace mp the market and I can
see no good reason for a decline to
the extent we have just witnessed.
Disappointed ut Scare.
II am naturally disappointed that
a scare Of this kind should 5e
thrown out at a time when il would
tend to arrest the movement for
regulatory legislation"
The National Consumers league
declared that the packers, with their
warehouses bulging with food. could
afford TO cease buying Just as the
senate hearings OF the Kenyon and
Kendrick bills got under way.
The farmers Of the country are
being made 10 suffer for the sins
OF the packers as in times past" the
league stated.
This time the penalty has been
imposed for a different reason. Just
as hearings were started on the
Kenyon Kendrick bills TO regulate
the packers. a most unprecedented
drop in prices paid for hogs and cat
lie took place. So last week Wash
ington was flooded with cattle rails
ers. farmers. retail dealers and in
dependent packers to beg congress
TO put a stop 10 all agitation.
Warehouses Bulge.
Meanwhile all packers ware
houses are bulging with enough food
20 carry their business for the com
ing winter and they can afford TO
cease buying for a while"
Emphasis was laid on the section
OF the Kenyon bill authorizing con-
struction OF municipal slaughter
houses.
s.rTba corertr,oy- ,,,r,.+ ..r-1;-, ...+
the packing business cannot be
smashed without having an estab-
lished nation wide cooperative
movement ready 20 do the work. nor
can people feed themselves II the
packing business is merely smashed
with no county and city abbatoirs
and few public markets TO take its
place"

Many children, from the foreign
settlements, not only take books for
themselves, but for their parents.
Often the children say they read,
or read and translate the stories to
their fathers and mothers who are
not familiar with printed English.
Stories of the war, patriotic tales
and technical books are the favorites
even for the children.
