Wallace Charges Boycott


Commission firms, members of the
St. Louis Live Stock Exchange and
principal order buyers, dealers and
traders at this market have been
charged by the Secretary of Agricul-
turc under the new stock yards su-
pervisory act with restraint of trade
through a boycott. A hearing has
been called at East st. Louis by the
department for March 20, when the
defendants shall show cause if they
can, why an order shall not be issued
against them, under said act, to
cease and desist from alleged prac-
tees complained of.
Various cooperative or so-called in
dependent firms operating here ap-
parently preferred charges of boycott
with the department, as it is alleged
in the complaint that the outlet for
live stock received by such so-called
Independent agencies is inadequate.
A further violation of the stock yards
act is alleged to be in the circulation
of false and misleading reports con-
cerning the marketing of live stock
by the independent commission COM
panies.' O..
In a statement President H. B.
Carson of the st. Louis Live Stock
Exchange answered the Governments
charges as follows:
members of the st. Louis Live
Stock Exchange have not committed
any act bordering on boycott. The
activities of the Exchange have at all
times been directed toward promoting
and maintaining the highest possible
character of business methods on the
market and this organization alone is
responsible for existing conditions
under which a man in the country
can consign his live stock to men,

change for sale with the assurance of
getting 100 per cent service and a
square deal. The recently enacted
Haugen law confers upon the Secre-
tary of Agriculture sweeping regula-
tory powers with regard to the live
stock commission business. The val
idity Of the law is now being contest
ed and will be given hearing in the
United States Supreme Court on
March 20. Business men generally
voted for more business in govern
ment and less government in business.
If this is fair sample of what we are
to get-good night, business"
w. E. Hilton, President of the
Traders Live Stock Exchange at this
market, stated that he had received no
formal notice from the Secretary of
Agriculture, referring to above charg-
es, and the first he knew of them was
in the daily press this morning. "The
Traders Live Stock Exchange has
not either as an organization, or as
individuals, conducted boycott as is
alleged, stated Mr. Hilton.

GOOD NEWS FOR MIR. HARDING.

No doubt President Harding viii be
highly pleased mt tho result OF the
Republican primaries in Maine, on
Monday, when Senator Halo was re-
nominated over two opponents by n
clear majority OF tho total vote. Sem
ator Hale has been a Arm supporter
OF the President, and for this reason
the result OF the primary was awaited
with deep interest at Washington.
Unlike the contests In Indiana and
Iowa, however, the Maine primary
did not directly involve the issue of
either indorsins or repudiating the
national administration. Hale's two
opponents were rather inconsequcntial
and did not represent the real pro-
gressive sentiment that n so rampant
among Republicans In some other
States.
The Minnesota Republican primaries
also must have pleased Presiden
Harding. as Senator Kellogg, anothe,
administration supporter, was nomi
mated by n good majority. But TN

marked by any wave or Repuoilca'

IGNORANCE OR MENDACITYi

Contentcd ignorance on tho most

man McCumber's statement In the

"The great metropolitan newspapers
are today attacking this bin because
their prosperity for the moment de-
ponds upon the prosperity OF their ad-
vertises. and their advertisers are
making fortunes buying cheaply
abroad and selling at big prices to
the American consumer; and
they are also damning the Bonus bill
because II means n little tax"
So far a. the bonus Is concerned, the
President has urged In vain that Con
gress shall declare what the little tax
is to be that shall meet from $4,000
900, 900 to $4,000. 900, 900 OF additional
expenditure. We leave In Mr.. Hard
ing's hands that fruitful eubJoct OF
controversy.
Senator McCumber's quarrel with
tho great metropolitan newspapers
is chiefly with those Of the Republican
faith which have been honopbly hos
tile TO the proposed tariff of abomi
