AMERICAN POLO TEAM
WINS IN FIRST DAYS
GAMES WITH ENGLISH
BILL TO REGULATE
PACKERS PASSED
After Seven Days of Continuous De-
bate Senate Passes House
Bill.

Washington, d. c., June lS.-The
long fight in Congress over legislation
to regulate the packing INDUSTRY was
virtually ended yesterday through the
adoption by the Senate 45 to Il OF the
regulatory bill recently passed by the
House. Several amendments by the
Senate necessitate return of the bill TO
the House which probably will order 1T
sent to conference.
Passage of the House bill came after
seven days of continuous and heated
debate and after the Senate had voted
down the bill reported by its agricul-
tural committee and measure offered
by Senator Sterling, Republican, South
Dakota. The House bill as passed pro-
vides for regulation of the meat pack
ers of the country by the secretary of
agriculture. The agricultural commit
tee bill, which provides for regulation
by a livestock commissioner, was re-
iected 81 to "a Thursday and yester-
day was defeated again 81 to 81. The
Sterling bill. with provisions similar
to the committee measures except for
regulation by the federal trade com
mission, went down to defeat 80 to
81.
The House bill on the final roll call
was supported by 27 Republicans and
ls Democrats and opposed by 10 Re
publicans nd six Democrats.
Two more important amendments
made by the Senate include one by
Senator Kenyon, Republican, Iowa, re-
quiring packers and stockyard opera
tors to keep such records and state
ments of account as the secretary 6f
agriculture may require and authoriz-
ing the secretary to prescribe uniform
business methods. Insertion of this
amendment was described by packer
regulation forces as having put teeth
in the House bill"
Another amendment adopted is de-
signed to remove the small butcher
from the regulation.
The bill as passed forbids the pack
eTs to engage in unfair or deceptive de-
vises or practices to apportion the sup
ply by interdealing, to restrain COM
merce or create monopoly, or to manip-
ulate prices by interdealing. 1t also
prohibits stockyard operators from
charging unreasonable rates or engag-
ing in deceptive practices.
Senator LaFollette voted for the
House bill on the final roll call and
later explained that the Kenyon and
other amendments had made II more
