LOBBYIST MENACE
TO U.S.-TH0MAS

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Lobbying by
class interests in Washington more
seriously menaces the government of
the United States than foreign COM
p!ications over the league of nations,
Senator Charles S. Thomas, of Colo
RADIO, declared in an address at Wash
ington's birthday meeting of the sons
Of the revolution.
In speaking of railroad legislation
pending in congress, he said:

Cajoled, persuaded and warned of the

Judgment on this measure. Well be
damned if we do and We'll be- damned
if We don't.
The galleries of both houses of con-
gress constantly are filled with repre-
sentatives of various class interests.
You cannot imagine the mental
anguish of the man who wants to be
reelected.

Meat Dealers Prices
Should Decline---Palmer;
No Signs Seen Here

CHICAGO. Feb. 24-Retail meat
dealers throughout the country must
reduce their prices as the wholesale
price of meat declines or else submit
their books to federal agents for inves-
tfgation of their profits.
This definition of the government
attitude has been announced by Attor-
ney General Palmer. Instructions to
serve the notice on all retail meat
dealers have been sent to every United
Stats district attorney he said.
For three months the price of meat
has been falling" said Mr.. Palmer.
THE retail dealers have claimed that
their supplies were old stock pur-
chased at the higher prices. The old
stocks should be exhausted by this
time and unless the price to the con-
sumner comes down we will have to
look into the question of the dealers'
profits
Although retail beef prices have
gone down in Richmond during the
past three months. dealers expect no
further decrease during the next 80
days, they say. One dealer reports
pork going up, as he is forced to pay
more now for pork tenderloin than he
charged the public one month ago.

sympathy with measures to overcome
