J.. s. MEAT CONTROL
STILL IN SHADOW
Gronna Bill Materially Changed
In Committee This
Session Unlikely.

Whether there will be Legislation
passed for governmental regulation
of the packing industry at this ses-
sion appeared problematical today.
The House Agriculture Committee,
of which Congressman Haugen. Of
Iowa, is chairman, has materially
changed the Gronna tx X" bill and
will send II back to conference.
Whereas the Senate bill created
special commission to regulate the
packers, the Haugen bill would put
control under the Secretary OF Agri-
culture, with an added proviso that
live stock men come under the SUPER
vision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
1t was the decision of House lead
ers that no new governmental agen-
cies should be created at this time
and that all additional work which
is deemed necessary should be put
squareiy up to existing governmental
bodies.
II the conference can succeed In
getting together to the extent Of re-
porting out a single bill reconciling
the differences between Senate and
House, the packers bill may be pass
ed at this session. Otherwise, 1t will
be relegated to the incoming Repub-
lican Congress.

NEW YORK. Feb. 6.-Theodore
Greesley, who led cheerful though
humdrum life in Paterson, N. j., for
many years, was found dead yester-
day in an East Side tenement under
circumstances as strange as ever
came TO light in that abode OF mys-
teries and pa-adoxes.
HERMIT RIGHT IN NEW YORK.
He had made a hermit OF himself
In New York and died In a cave or
dugout OF his own construction In q
furnished room at 129 Chrystie street
TO which he had admitted no one foI
months.
Papers and rags which the old man
had picked up In the street were piled
10 the ceiling at the far end or the
room, slanting downward to the floor
at the threshold. The huge pile hid
every bit OF furniture from view save
q Liberty loan poster on the wall
which depleted q trench scene with
soldiers emerging from their dugouts.
Into this hillside OF his own manu-
facture the old man had burrowed.

square and two feet In heighth- IL
was evident that he had been sleeping
curled up on the floor in this recess
for months. 49,
NAkBD BODY Is FOUND.
In 1t his gsunt body was found
stark naked, the bony knees drawn
up against his chest, as an animal
sleeps, and completely hidden by the
unkept beard. DR.. Isaacson, who
came with an ambulance from Cow
erneur Hospital said the man prob
f4r
1t was fully two weeks ago that
Mrs Alice Bernard, from whom he
rented the hall bedroom for $3.50
week, last saw "Pop." as the
neighbor called him. not in affection
nor in ridicule. for none knew him
we'll enough. but simply because he
was old and kept his real name to
himself.
He had gone to Mrs Bernard's
room then to pay his rent but as
he said he was cold and looked sick
to her, Mrs. Bernard told him to
keep the money and let the room
rent wait. Yesterday she tried his
door and found 1t locked. There
was no response to her knocking
and she called a patrolman. who
forced the lock.
LIVED THERE SIX YEARS.
Even then the door would not
open and 1t finally had to be broken
down with an ak. The great mass
of papers and rags in the room had
obstructed 1t. the intruders found.
In the six years that Greesley mad
lived in her house, Mrs. Bernard
had learned something Of his past.
Her information was meager. but
indicated that misfortunes, burdsn-
ing a mind which already had SUI
fered a severe physical shock from
= head injury. had driven Greesicy
to become a hermit in the most con-
gested part Of the largest city in
the country. = ~ Nt ss
He used to be q painter. but gave
UP that business after a fall from
scanolding, in which his skull was
fractured. Then he became a butcher,
and finally owned his own shop in
Paterson. During a strike In the mills
there he extended credit too gener-
ously and lost his shop and his saw
ings.
TRIED TO LOSE HIMSELF.
About the same time his wife died.
Then he came to New York to lose
himself and to forget his troubles. He
succeeded, but, as was indicated by q
diary he kept on stray bits of wrap
ping paper, the drab existence he had
chosen left him no moro peace Of
mind than would solitary confinement

LOW PAY,POOR
HOURS CAUSE OF
MAIL ROBBERTES
Chicago Postal Clerks Union
Head Fixes Blame for
HOLd-upS.

CHICAGO. April 11.-Low pay and poor
working conditions of postal clerks have
cost the Government 100000 in mail
robberies in less than a year.
This was the opinion expressed BY
many postal officials in Chicago today.
Leo George, secretary OF the Chicago
Postal Clerks Union, charged the mail
hold-up epidemic to the temporary clerk
system. which be said was the result Of
night work and poor pay.
Government officials believed most OF
the rObberies were on inside informa-
ton" given by poorly paid clerks who
gave bandits details of shipments Of
money in return for part of the loot In
planted" by organized criminal gangs
in postofices to give Information re-
garding registered mail consignments.
The condition is the logical result OF
labor conditions during and after the
war" George declared. Low wages and
unfavorable working conditions made It
practically impossible to get good men
in the service.
MANY temporary men were employed
without civil service examination aud
without sufficient accommodation as to
responsibility. It is possible that I'M
scrupulous men could have crept into the
service by this method"
The 'unfavorable working conditions"
referred to by George were explained as
too much night work" He declared
that night work is unnecessary and could
be eliminated to a great extent If Post
master General Hays early mailing cam
paign succeeds.
Assistant Postmaster John T. Nc
Grath said working conditions practically
have made impossible the retention Of
civil service clerks.
Night work." he explained. as the
chief reason men are not taking the civil
service examinations for postal service"
Under Hays plan. business men are
urged TO DO the bulk OF their mailing In
the morning, instead Of in the late after
