The trade commissioner made his
charges while explaining other allega-
tions that employees of the commits
sion were under fire as radicals" and
"bolshevists." He charged that for
mer secret service officials at Chicago
had framed up" arrests of commits
sion employees in an effort to create
the impression that the commission
was 'hotbed of bolshevism."
Reverting to the testimony at the
agriculture committee hearings ON
proposed packer regulative legislation,
Mr.. Colver charged that J. Ogden Ar
mour of Armour & Co. had promised
the committee to explain corporation
device which, the commissioner said
the packers adopted to conceal their
ownership of the Chicago stock yarts
and had failed to do it.
''Their plan of successfully conceal
ing the ownership of corporations re-
duces business in this country to q
game of blind mans buff" Mr.. ColveF
asserted. Furthermore, 1t is abso-
lutely successful as a method of pre-
venting the commissioner of internal
revenue from collecting income taxes
and surtaxes. 1t is the absolute de
feat of our revenue laws as it now
stands, and there is need of a law to
