rection of the naturalization or So
cialization of all private industry"
Analysing the testimony given be-
fore the Senate committee which
framed the bill, Senator Fernald said
it discredited and made unworthy of
belief the federal trade Commissions
report on it's investigation of the
packing industry, which he said, was
the primary basis for the bill. The
commissions statement that small
packers existed at the sufferance of
the big packing concerns was denied,
the Senator said, by representatives
of more than 20 small packing FIRMS
Likewise, he said the commission
assertion that stock growers were at
the mercy of the big five packers was
contradicted by practically all Of the
more than so growers who testified.
He opposed as absurd and ridicu
lous" the bills provision to set up a
regulating commission and turn over
such complex and vital indsutry" to
the control of men who have no
knowledge Of the business.

DR.. Curtis 81 Labrador
Gives Most Interesting
Address at All Souls Church

All Souls Unitarian church was filed
to its capacity Friday evening with
Augusta people who had gathered to
listen to an illustrated lecture given
by DR.. Charles s. Curtis of the DIR.
Grenfell Labrador medical mission.
DR.. Curtis. possessing most pleasing
personality. is the chief surgeon at St.
Anthony's hospital In Labrador
During his discourse. he told of the
social and educational work on the
Labrador coast and of the problems
confronting the people OF that coun-
try. He told of the medical needs and
what has already been dine there. DR..
Grenfell. he said. went there 80 years
ago and for 30 years has carried on his
work Of relief through his own efforts.
There are at the present time six hos
nitals. three nursing stations, one hos
pitaf ship. four hospital launches. four
coaiing distribution centers, four indus
trial stations. some children's home. and
one seamen's institute. -
The conditions which were found to
exist there. were due to the industrial
occupations of the people which con-
sisted almost wholly of fishing and
trapping. The Seamen's Institute has
been established at st. Johns. New
foundland. Its work among these peo-
pie being very similar to American
social work in the Y. M. c. A. In this
North country, this mission treats an
nually from 10000 to 1900 patients. In
the winter time 1t is necessary for the
doctors to travel hundreds of miles
with dogs and sleds for the treatment
of their patients.
The object of this tour of DR.. Curtis
for the purpose of raising an endow-
ment fund to carry on this work which
for 30 years has been borne by DR..
Grenfell and through his almost per-
sonar efforts. DR.. Curtis lecture was
illustrated with many views of this in
teresting country with the aid of the
stereoptican. At 7.45, Mr.. Purington,
organist of the church, rendered a brief
but excellent organ recital which was
greatly appreciated. Chief Justice Les
lie c. Cornish of this city presided and
introduced the speaker.

New York, Jan. 21.--Charles NJ.
Schwab appeared before the Walsh
congressional committee today and
denied testimony given yesterday by
Col. E. H. Agadie, former comptroller
of the United States Shipping Board
to the effect that Mr.. Schwab's per-
sonal expenses for October 1918
amounting to 100000 We're charged
to the Shipping Board.
Mr.. Schwab declared the state
ments were absolutely, unqaulifiedly
and maliciously false" and that he
personally paid all his own expenses
during his term of office as director
general of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration.
Mr.. Schwab said that although he
was supposed to receive dollar a
year salary he did not even collect
that. For his travels from shipyard
to shipyard, while at the head of the
fleet corporation, he asserted he never
received any compensation and did
not WANT any.
He admitted such voucher as that
charged by Colonel Abadie smight
have been paid to him but declared
it was not for the purpose claimed
by Abadie and no part of it was
charged to ship construction.
He became head of the fleet cor
poration, he said. only at the urgent
request of the chairman of the board
and President Wilson and in accept
ing the place he insisted that all mat
ters connected with his own ship
building COMPANIES he handled hv
other members of the board.
Colonel Abadie, who again took the
stand, said he regretted the necessity

for connecting Mr.. Schwab with the
voucher; that he hoped 1t was an err
ror and that Mr.. Schwab would be
cleared.
Colonel Abadie reiterated his pre-
vious testimony that information
concerning tho vouchers had been
given him by Mr.. Morse Of Perley.
Morse & Co, accountants employed
to audit Shipping Board Books. He
said the charge was entered as "over-s
head" In the main Office of the Beth
lehem Company and 100000 was
charged to ship construction.
He admitted that Mr.. Morse had
told him how the other 100000 had
been spent, but declined to repeat
what he had been told and said 1t
concerned the Bethlehem corporation
only. Mr.. Schwab. who was sitting
nearby. spoke up and said:
You are at perfect liberty to give
out the information IL you desire"
Colonel Abadie. however. said it was
given him confidentialiy and that he
would not repeat it.
Mr.. Schwab was called before the
committee at his own request and in
terrupted Colonel Abadie's running
testimony to enter his denial.
Senator Walsh asked Mr.. Schwab
to appear again next Tuesday to testi-
fy concerning matters relating to the
shipping board. 1t was made clear,
however. that he was not being called
In relation to the voucher. Mr..
Schwab said he would be willing to-
appear at any time the committee de-
sired.
Mr.. Schwab testified that such a
voucher as Colonel Abadie described
could not have been issued without
his knowledge and he reiterated that
he had never received PENNY from
the government for services or per-
sonal expenses
He said that when he was requested
to take charge of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation he anticipated that some
criticism would arise due to his con-
nection with large shipbuilding con-
Germs. and that he objected

He said he went to President Wilson
and to the shipping board with the OBJ
jections.
They said to me-" he continued.
that, notwithstanding my objections,
they felt it my duty to assume these
responsibilities, and ! said: Very we'll,
gentlemen, if, under the conditions,
you insist, 1 will"
Mr.. Schwab said he then made it
clear that any transactions between
the shipping board and the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation would have to be
handled by Charles Piez.
NO man can honestly say that
they saw any action on my part which
was ever made in any manner for my
own benefit or interest" said Mr.
