rescue as the submarine entered San
Pedro harbor. which is the port of Los
Angeles, but she continued with un-
checked speed until the submarine
base was reached There sailors. with
gas helmets, went into the hold and
carried out the. injured. They were
taken to the naval base hospital for
treatment.

burned are: NJ. w. Hunter, cleo
ftrician. second class; r. ]. Weir, cleo
trician. second class. and Chief Elec-
trican F. McGowan. The other three
less seriously burned are Gunner q.

NEW COMMANDER AMERICAN LEGION


Washington, November 10.-The
advisory committee of 81 prepared
today to assume its designated role
Of interpreter between American
public opinion and the American big
four at the ornaments conference.
Through six subcommittees, each
charged with subdivision of the
subject matter of the conference. the
/ advisory body expects not only to
keep the four principal delegates
fully informed about the public re-
actions developing from the negotia-
| tons, but also to help the American
people grasp the full significance OF
the highly complicated and technical
steps that diplomacy makes neces-
sary.
The first of these two functions will
result in day to day study OF edi-
torial opinion throughout the coun-
try and of sentiment generally as 1t
finds expression by the accredited
spokesman of labor, agriculture. in
dustry and all of the other special
interests whose representatives sit,
as members of the committee.
In the work of Interpreting the
negotiations the people, on the other
hand the committee will avail itself
of the use of public statements, re-
ports and direct communications with
those who have questions to ask.
! In order to better to accomplish
this laison between the conference
and the public the committee already
has begun study of the problems
with which the conference will have
to deal. At a meeting today pam
phlets were distributed containing
technical compilations on several OF
the questions of the far east. Event
ually all the expert Information
brought together by the staff of tech
meal advisers will similarly be placed
in the hands of the committee MEM

MARKET TROUBLE
Farrell Declares Future of
American Merchant Ma
rine is Now at Stake.

Washington, May 6.-Fluctuations
In the live stock market are largely
due to the unscientifc and inefficient
system employed by producers in
marketing their products and the real
trouble at the base OF the whole ques-
tion is not so much packers prob
lem, Thomas e, Wilson of Chicago,
president of the Institute of American
Meat Packers, told the house COM
mittee on agriculture today in appear
ing in opposition to the Norris-Mc-
Laughlin bill to control the packing
industry. Mr.. Wilson. who said he
spoke for the 200 packing companies
which comprise the membership of
the institute, declared legislation of
the sort proposed would simply serve
to divert the largest single industry
in America from energetic efforts to
adjust itself to a changed and difficult
situation. The result, he said, would
be quite as Rarmful to the live stock
producers as to the packing industry
itself. as the interest of the producers
is so closely interviewer with that of
the packers that what is injurious to
one Is bound to prove harmful to the
other.
Does Not Solve Problem.
The Norris Mclaughlin bill. Mr..
Wilson declared, does not deal with
or solve the economic problems of the
producing or consuming public. He
added that by delegating radical and
revolutionary powers to a commission
it would set up a form Of govern
mental despotism over private bust
ness which would be destructive to
private initiative and individual en-
/, terprise. The measure he said, would
create another commission whose
principal duties would be to dupli-
cate much of the work already per-
formed by the department of agricul-
ture and other governmental agencies.
He asserted that the industry already
was supervised and regulated by more
laws than any other industry in the
! country.
| Tables Presented.
| Tables showing comparison of the
earnings Of the packers with earnings
Of other industries were presented
and he declared other industries were
making much greater profits than the
meat men. During 1920, he said, the
five large packers averaged a profit OF
about 19 cents On each animal Slaugh-
tered by them and that about 81 pei
cent of every dollar received by the
packers went to live stock producers
1 The falling off in export demand, de-
creased meat consumption per capita
in the United States, increase in un-
employment and decrease in public
purchasing power, the development Of
thrift in consumers buying and the
/ general decline in commodity value:
and general dehation were ascribed h,
the institute, president as reasons fol
the decline in prices of live stock ant
meats
Mr.. Wilson said he would be glae
to see the government do what it car
to help the producers, farmers or an,
other industry in need of its assist
ance. but he doubted # congressional
enactment could change the economi,
conditions now existing.
