HOOVER URGED

President Divulges Conf
Dental Report Of Federal
Food Administrator.
RECOMMENDED PROBE
Wanted Congress to Sound
Public on U. S. Owner
ship During War.

President Wilson hImslef has come
TO the defence of Herbert Hoover,
the man who made American diet
itself during the war and like it,
against intimations that Hoover was
too friendly to the great packing
interests.
On orders of the President a con-
fidential report made by Hoover to
the White House six months ago
dealing with the packers practices
and containing suggestions for the
regulation of the packing industry
was made public yesterday. Its pub
licatiOn was frankly in response to
insinuations against Mr.. Hoover at
the recent Congressional investiga-
tiOn OF the packing industry.
Wanted L. ;. Regulation.
The report shows Mr. Hoover to
be in complete sympathy with the
recommendation made by the Fed
eral Trade Commission for regula-
don of the big five," and shows
him also to have urged legislation
TO prevent practices of which he did
not approve
I scarcely need to repeat the
views that I expressed to you nearly
year ago." says Mr.. Hoover to
the President. that there is here a
growing and dangerous domination
of the handling OF the nations food
stuTs"
Mr.. Hoover goes on:
Il do not feel that appreciation
OF this domination of necessity i'm
plies wrongdOing on the part of the
prOprietors. but is the natural out
growth of various factors which
need correction"
Concerning the three recommenda-
tiOns of the Federal Trade Commisi
sion, Mr.. Hoover went on record as
follows:
The Federal Trade Commissions
recommendations fall into three
parts:
4. That the Railroad Admins
tratiOn take over all animal and
refrigeration car services.
AS to this recommendation I am
in full agreement and may recall
to you that soon after its instalIa-
tion we recommended that the Rail-
road Administration should take
over and operate all private car
lines in food products. This has
been accomplished to some degree
through their car service division.

80. That they take over the stock
yard terminals.
Il am in agreement that the
stockyards should be entirely dis
associated from the control of the
packers. \ distinction must be
drawn between the stockyards as
a physical market place and the
buying and selling conducted there
in.
"3. That the Federal government
itself take over the packers branch
houses, cold storage warehouses,
etc, with the view, I assume, to
the establishing of equal opportun-
ity of entrance into distribution
among all manufacturers and
traders.
"As to this recommendation
find much difficulty. I do not as
sumo that the Trade Commission
contempIates the government en-
tering upon the purchase and sale
OF meat and groceries at these es-
tablishments. We do need an alb
solute assurance to the food trades
OF such terminal facilities IS Will

in any food product equal oppOr-

ltnulnS lntlT llIdl OlSIA lDuSAC
Urged Congress Action.
In Summation, believe that the ulti-
mate solution of this problem is to be
obtained by assuring equal oppor-
tunity in transportation. equal oppor-
tunity in the location of manufactur-
ing sites, and Of terminal sites, and
the limitation of the activities of these
business. In this situation l be-
lieve that the fifty minor meat pack
ing establishments and the hundreds
of other food preservers could sue
cessfuIly expand their interstate ac-
tivities, and that local slaughter
would increase with economic gain to
the community, and all through con-
tinued competition constantly i'm
prove our manufacturing and dis
tributing processes to the advantage
of both producer and consumer.
Il do not feel that the government
should undertake the solution Of the
problem by the temporary authority
conferred under the war powers Of
the Railroad and Food administra-
tions, which must terminate with
peace, but rather that it should be
laid before Congress for searching
exhaustive debate,
and the development of public opinion.

WOMEN IN OVERALLS EAGER
TO KEEP GOOD POSITIONS
Industrial Reports Show
They Are Determined to
Continue Making High
Wages.

Women who donned overaIls fol
war work are refusing to return L
peace time skirts.
This is shown by reports of the
United States Employment Service
from all the industrial Centers Ol
the country. Practically every
where, it was stated, where womer
stepped into mems jobs, they are
making a determined effort to hole
them.

ment service show that about 1900.
900 women, out of 100000 femal,
workers, were doing mems work

The large majority of women il

out of home life to do their patri.
otiC duty for the country, but were
attracted out of the army of wOmer
who are compelled to work. Higher
wages was the cause. and the won.
en- being no different than men ar,

Must Work to Live.
The determination of the women
officials admit, is one of the con-
tributing causes of unemployment OF
men. but they point out that these
women must work to live and il
they are to reIinQuish their work tC
men other employment must be
found for them. In many cases the
women are backed by employers
who believe their labor can be OBJ
tanned at lower figure than that OF
men.
Calls for women workers hav,
been gradually decreasing ever since
the armistice was signed. the en-
plOyment service reports show.
Opposition to the women keeping
mems jobs is clearly manifest at the

Paris. Feb. 1S.-The new position in

big problems of the Peace Conference.

fields, on the same basis with men,
and earned more than they ever re-
ceived before, cannot be expected to

Of Russia should be joined by the
workers of the world. To this end a
vigorous propaganda campaign was
instituted throughout the world and is
being continued to this day. In the
mean time, by methods of terrorism
and force, combined with appropriation
of the propertied classes, every effort
was made to form a successful gov
eminent based upon the principles of
the Soviets.
"The dissensions and disunity of the
various moderate or bourgeois ele-
ments were carefully taken advantage
of. The Bolsheviki worked with the
utmost secrecy to undermine any form
Of government which might be set up
after the first revolution. They sue
ceeded in this manner in really having
the bulk of the population of Russia
behind them when they came out into
the open and destroyed the constituent
assembly. Long before that assembly
met, in November, 1917, it had already
ceased to represent public opinion.
Had it been established by force it
would have governed chaos. 1t is in
reresting to compare the exact
parallel between events in Russia in
November, 1917, and thos existing in
Germany, particularly Bavaria, in
February, 1919.
"The method employed by the Boil
sheviki in Russia, Germany, Austria,
Hungary, Rumania, and already at
tempted in Great Britain and the
United States, of insuring that any
bourgeois government set up shall not
really represent the majority of the
people, is through the medium of in
dustrial unrest. Agitators visit every
factory, bank or other industrial or
business institution and carefully in
cite the working people through the
medium of strikes to undermine tho
prosperity of the enterprise The
smooth working of communications is
one of the first objects of their at
tack, but it is not until some success
has been attained In minor fields that
the Bolshevik comes out into the open
in his attempts to paralyze great pub
lie utilities. Always the effort is made
to prove that it is our archaic forms of
government which are preventing the
workers from enjoying the fruits of
their labor. An esprit revolutionnaire'
is thus created"

On the Wane?
There Is a Marked Tendency in the Press
of America to Regard Bolshevism in Rus
STA as Almost Ready to Let Go

Springfield Republican," believes
that
"the apparent weakening Of the Boil
shevist hold on Russia is encouraging
only in so far as it holds out the hope
that it may be entirely uprooted in
time. But for present purposes it can
only be said to have complicated stu
alton which has thus far baffled all the
efforts of European statesmen to deal
with it,
"The Boston Transcript" also
shares the view that Bolshevism has
begun to take a downward course.
And "The Washington Star" thus
concludes a survey of the situation:
"Bolshevism is receding. Founded
upon false principle, conducted with
out craftsmanship and upon the most
cruel prejudices, setting up class gov
eminent of hideous atrocity, it has
manifested itself as failure, and the
common sense of the world is now
united against it,"
