Farmers Bureau Wants
Legislation That Will AS

!. Over Crisis.
(By the Federated Press. J


Washington, Dec. 18.-Immediate
enactment by congress of legislation
TO control the meat packing industry
is eagerly looked for by farmers and
consumers throughout the country.
according to George 2. Hampton, di.
rector of the Farmers National Coun-
Gil, who says that the farmers, the
workers and the housewives of Amer
ica are watching congress with the
closest scrutiny to see il it will grant
their almost unanimous demand for
such legislation.
ut is a case Of the packers versus
the people, says Mr.. Hampton, with
the senate and the house as Jury,
while in this. case congress is defi-
nitely and unmistakably quite as
much on trial before the American
people as the packers themselves.
THE exhaustive and authoritative
investigation of the meat packing in
dustry made by the Federal Trade
commission and the protracted and
repeated hearings held by the COM
mitees on agriculture Of both houses
show the imperative necessity for the
prompt enactment by congress OF the
principles Of the kenyon-Anderson
bill to control the packers"
Mr.. Hampton contends that "the
farmers of America, impoverished by
the tremendous slump in prices they
receive for cattle, hogs and sheep,
as we'll as for other farm products.
and the consumers, paying enormous
prices for packers products. are ems
titled to have Christmas made bright
