SAYS PACKERS ARE GAMERS
Farmers National Council Declares
Recent Agreement Leaves Produc-
ers and Consumers Out in Cold.

hington.-FaTmers, according to
the national committee on packing
plants and allied industries of the
Farmers National Council, are not en-
thusiastic over the peace agreement
between the department of justice and
the packers.
In the opinion of this comemittee the
agreement makes regulatory legisla-
ton by congress more necessary than
ever, and the settlement is referred
to in a statement issued recently as
bringing Christmas cheer to the pack
ers, but leaving farmers and con-
sumers out in the winter SHOWS as in
the past"
1.-The compromise made by the de
partment of justice and the five big
packers says the statement, makes
more necessary than ever the enact
ment of the Kenyon-Anderson bill to
protect the farmers, producers of hive
stock and the public. The decree
issued by the department of justice is
a sweeping victory for the wholesale
grocers and q sweeping defeat for
the live stock producers, farmers and
consumers of America

the hills of northern Missouri, where

Throwing all formality to the pro-

took Laclede to his bosom, and Rugged
and kissed and laughed and yelled.
His Joy dubbed over throughout the

at the United States government and
the United States officials, 249 rabid
reds defied America as they were de-
ported for an unknown port on board

Although nanked on either side by
husky, khaki clad and fully armed ma

almost closed shuoted: This is the

States 1 shall be lack in America.

his subjects as We are being treated"
Huddled on the decks in small but
defiant groups, the reds kept shouting
villifications toward Chief William
J. Flynn Of the United States secret
service, who stood on the Geek.
Every precaution had been taken
against the escape Of any of the Reds.
Government agents were in tugs that
bobbed alongside Of the transport lest

elude the watchfuIness of the armed
guards and dive overheard.

ask the special session Of the legisIa-
ture TO enact. The bill grew out of
the necessity Of having some method
for handling the state mined coal and
to provide wood for the people OF the
different cities. The bill authorizes
any city to establish fuel yards, Gre
ating a revolving fund from the gen
eral tax levy for purchasing wood,
coal, fuel oil or other material, prepaI>

The bill permits the cities to thus fur

months to wood cutters when other
employment is not available.
The bill is based upon the Maine
statute, which has been upheld by the
courts. There are indications that this
bill, and another bill from the attor-
