[RepubIloan A. P. Leased wIrel


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Proposed government regulation of the meat packers and allied industries drew fire in the senate today from two senators, Sherman of Illinois. and Fernald of Maine, both Republicans.
 The two senators opposed the pend ing Gronna regulatory bill as an un- warranted interference with a partic- ular private industry, a principle which they said might be extended injurious ly to other lines of business.
 Opposition of both senators to the measure, which will be voted upon next Monday, also Included attacks upon the federal trade commission, which has supported the legislation. Senator Sherman, charging that the commissions criticism of the "big five packers had injured their export trade, declared that a copy of one of the commissions reports got into the hands of the British board of trade months before it was made public in this coun- try.
 A substitute for the Gronna bill was introduced by Senator Sterling, Re- publican of South Dakota proposing tranfer of government regulation ot the meat industry to the federal trade commission instead of the new live stock commission provided in the Gronna bill Mir. Sterling's substitute also provided for less federal super vision than the Gronna bill, and haC as one of it's principal provisions the ! publicity of meat packing affairs.
 A sheaf of amendments designed tC modify the Gronna measure was in. | troduced by Senator Shoot. Repub- | lican of Utah, who plans to speak to morrow or Monday in opposition tl ! the agricultural committees draft.

]. 5. TO BUILD BRIDGE ACROSS
 GRAND CANYON
Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Govern- ment engineers have worked out means by which materials for 800 foot sus- pension bridge can be packed by mules down narrow trails and the structure erected to span the Colorado river and the Grand Canyon, National park, Ari- zona, making the north rim accessi- ble to tourists. The north rim, about 1.5OO feet higher than the south rim, gives new and alluring'' views of the canyon, nnouncement from the Ma tional Park service said, but diff culties of getting horses or mules across the river have made it almost unvisited.
 The bridge will be flung across Granite gorge, about APO feet wide, and with virtually perpendicular sides. It will swing 40 feet above the general water level and the bridge materials must be transported 10 miles, some of the way down switch back trails with 40 per cent grade. As the main cables weigh 700 to 800 pounds, the means of transportation present ed a difficult problem. It is planned however, to meet the situation by placing each cable in four coils to be swung two to a mule, and with St foot section between the mules to per- init turning around the switch backs The stirrup rods of the bridge must be folded for packing and even floor | ing sections must be cut to not more 1 than nine feet to get them around tho 1 corners.
 The bridge will cost SIS, 900, and i: expected to be ready for the coming l summer season.

 CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-Two hundred building material men from all parts of the country. in conference to de- wise means of starting a national building boom with the object of bringing down rents, were told by speakers today that there would be no general building revival until the prices of building materials went down.
 H. C. Baldwin. building expert from Wellesley Hills. Mass, told the con- ference that while there would be a slight increase in building this sum mer, there would be no return to nor malcy before the fall of, 1922 or the spring of 1923.
 There can be no building boom un- til the prices of building materials are stabilized he said. People will not build homes for fear that prices may come down and investors will not lend money on a declining market. They will wait until they are satisfied that they Will get the most for their money. Business and prices will not reach normalcy between 1922 or 1923 so there can be no national building boom until then"
 ! There can be no decrease in rents while building prices remain as al present, G. M Reynolds, chairman o | the board of directors of the Conti- mental and Commercial Bank, said.
 Building prices now are from lot to 200 per cent higher than they were in normal times" he said
 'T know of buildings being erected now at a cost of 90 cents a cubic foo while in normal times the cost was al low as 30 cents. While such condi ton exists rents will stay up.
 John M. Kirby, president of the Ma tional Lumber Manufacturers asso citation and presiding officer at tn conference. said that manufacturers o most building materials had not kep pace with the price reductions mad by lumber manufacturers.

 MADE BY WILSON
Democratic Leaders Say Re fusal To Act Would Rob Government Of M a Il y Important Cogs After March 4
[RepubIlcan A. P. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Dipping their brushes into the probability that the Republican majority in the senate would refuse to confirm most of the 0,000 nominations made by President Wilson. some administration officials painted today a picture of a creaking government machine, floundering along for a time after March 1. with lot of important cogs missing
 Failure of the Republican senators lat a secret conference today to reach any decision as to the nominations set the canvas Republican leaders were not inclined to take the picture seri- ously, however.
 The question of the nominations oc- cupied much of the time of the Re- publican conferences. The official an nouncement said no decision was reached but some of those attending the meeting said privately that there had been a "tacit" agreement for the Republican members of committee to take the nominations coming under their jurisdiction, study conditions in the executive departments and then determine whether failure to keep the Democratic appointees in office after March 4 would result in any embar- rassment of those departments. A young regiment of officials now | in Washington are holding otflee Dy virtue of recess appointments. Should the senate fail to act on their pomf- nations before this congress quits on March 3, 1t is explained they will ar- tomatically be out Of jobs under the l law.
 ! These officials include all seven members of the shipping board two members of the interstate commerce commission, three chief officials in the patent office and five assistant secre- taries of the treasury.
 Then, too, there are lot of post masters, federal judges, marshals, fed eral attorneys, registers of land of fices and the like over the country who are in the same position. Some o these are classed as emergency case: and the Republican leaders have indi-
 cated that where there is found to b'

 Look at the grape growers" he said They thought they were ruined. The best they had been getting for grapes was S25 and some times $35 a ton. But when we got prohibition the price in stantly jumped, and now they are sell ing the crop as fast as it can be gath cred for SIPS a ton"

 American producers, MT.

He cited a contract for 750,000 tons of coal to be delivered abroad which his company, he said, had held up pending decision on the bill.
 George H. Cushing, managing direc- tor of the American Wholesale Coal as- sociation, asked the committee for three weeks delay'' in consideration of the bill in order that its proposals might be digested by the trade he rep resented.
