.v|RG|N|AKS TESTIFY
IN MEAT PACKERS CASE

Chicago, Feb. 25.-Two Virginia man
testified before the senate agricultural
committee concerning the Kenyon and
l. endriek bills to license and restrict
business. according to a summary of
.he testimony issued today by the In
stitute of American Meat Packer in
connection with the hearings just
opened by the house agricultural COM
mittee on the Andersol bill. which Is
a parallel measure to the Kenyon bill.
The witnesses from Virginia were
Emmanuel Wasserman and Il. A. East
wood. of Norfolk.
The summary issued today and nov
published for the first time shows that
iva persons appeared before the senate
criticized the packers n even OF
these twelve some were opposed to IL
censiDg the packing industry.
Farmers or producers were repre-
scented more numerously than any
other group E~ighty-two were present,
There were twenty-one OF the So
called smaller packers. a good number
of wholesalers. as well as representa-
.tives of civic and trade organizations,
manufacturers, commission men. can
ners. editors and others.
In issuing the testimony. as COM
mentary on the Anderson bill. the in
stftute of American Meat Packers
made the following statement:
The Anderson bill Is exactly the
same as the Kenyon bill except that
it Is q house measure. In the senate
the original Kenyon bill has been mod.
flied somewhat. but 1t provides a sys-
tenn of voluntary re~gistration which
tends to establish a precedent for H.

way that la un-American in principle
and ~uneeonomic in operation. 1t ere

gaging in particular fields to create OF

fields by companies now occupying
them. The bill is a step toward pa

UNFORTUNATE, TT TRU

Grams OF the Civil War who fought
for the State and are now incapable
Of hghting longer for a livelihood.
Members who favor such a policy
should express by their votes their
Judgment as to what the State can
afford for this purpose. II It may
be said thai their votes do not in
dictate this opinion but only the extent
Of their opposition to some depart
ment Of the State government the
imputation does them scant credit.
Neither IL there any occasion for
antasonisrn between the proposition

To supply means OF enforcing prohi-
bition laws which most OF the farmers
of Virginia favor as strongly ar they
do the use of lime.
There are members VINO oppose the

they hate prohibition. OF because they
believe 1t should be enforced alto
gether through other agencies, or for
some other reason There are also
members who are not especially ia
vorable to the experiment Of the State
grinding lime for the benefit OF
a portion of Virginia farmers. They
regard it as a piece of p~aternaiIsn

many DO not desire-as a soctalistic
enterprise which may have a. tendency
to encourage other classes to petition
the State to go into some other manu-
featuring business for their benefit

ONLY ONE CHILD EXEMPT
IN UNITED STATES

In the whole United States one child
fot more than eight hours a day. This
privileged individual was granted his
exemption from the federal child labor
tax law by Judge James Boyd through
an injunction preventing the employer
of the child from d~ischarging him or
limiting his hours of work. To all
interested in children. this will be a
gratifying piece of news. for it had
been generally thought that Judge
Eoyd's decision affected the employ
ment of minors in the entire Western
judicial district of North Carolina.
In a letter to the National Child La
hor Committee. Miss Mia F. Allen. head
Of the child labor tax division Of the
treasury department. says:
Unlike the situation under the fed
oral child labor law, declared uncon-
stitutional June 3, 1918. the injunction
secured in the case of the federal child
labor tax law applied only to the en-
ployrnent Of one child in the Anterior
mills, Charlotte. N. c.
The child labor tax law has been
and Is being enforced In all sections of
the country, including the Western ju-
dicial district Of North Carolina"
1t should be remembered that the
federal child labor tax law applies only
to mines, quarries, factories and sim
liar establishments. 1t is estimated
that IS per cen OF the working chill
dren in this country are in industries

parent to anyone who studied
the tables on rolling stock pub
llshed in our statistical issue of
last week. Another striking
fact developed by the tables is
that the lowest level in car or
ders since 1907 has passed, due
principally to the noteworthy
record of the one-man safety
car.
1.-The figures of 1919 showed
not only an increase over the
previous year of 115 per cent
in the number of safety cars
ordered, but also that 272 more
cars of this type were ordered
during this one year than the
combined total for the past
three years.
"A 100 per cent increase is
also found in the number of
companies purchasing this type
of car.
"a comparison with 1917
showed a 400 per cent increase
in the number of this type of
cars and a gain of 127 per cent
in the number of companies.
eve feel that from year to
year the percentage of the ur-
ban companies ordering safety
cars as well as the percentage
of urban motor cars for surface
lines ordered will continue to
increase, due principally to
the GREATER utilization.of this
type of car on the large proper
ties. In 1923 the majority type
of cars in most of our urban
centers will be the safety car"
