COME UNDER LAW.
Effort to Bring Firms in Under
Kansas Act.
Conference of Packers and
Stockyards Men in Topeka.

Efforts to bring stockyards, packing
firms and commission men under pro-
visions of the Kansas stockyards act
Nwere made today at a conference
which members of the public utilities
commission held with Kansas City and
Wichita men. A recent decision by
the United States supreme court hold
ing that stockyards and packing firms
are under the scope of a federal en-
aetment has raised doubt as to the
extent to which Kansas may control
the stockyards. packing house and
commission business.
Shortly after the stockyards act was
passed by the legislature in 1921, Kan
sas City commission firms enjoined
operation of the state law so far as
their business activities were con-
cerned. The case has never been set
tied. In the meantime the federal
case was started and has been de-
cided in favor of the government. This
law places the packers and stockyards
interests under the federal department
of agriculture.
Wichita concerns came under pro-
visions of the Kansas law without
serious protest. The Kansas City
packers and stockyards management
also followed terms of the state law.
The real trouble, however, came in
management of the commission firms
and collection of fees from firms ell
gagged in the livestock commission
business. Now there is a big Ques-
ton as to whether state and federal
authority overlap and whether the
firms must obey one enactment or
both.
No definite program was worked
out at the state house conference to-
day A second meeting will be held
in Kansas City Saturday. 1t will be
attended by several representatives of
livestock interests in this state.

on the right. It is trimmed in
self cording and bound with double
rows of the cording on all edges.
At the right side several cord
strings are tied and looped, with
ends trailing down to the ground.
The gown is made unusual by its
polka dotting of small black velvet
pansies. These are all-black, with
out the usual tiny yellow centers-
and are tackled through their cen
tiers to the gown. This is done all
over the whole thing.
The sketch to the right shows
another crepe de chine dinner
dress with side panels that form
trains on either side. The inner
sides of the panels are edged with
flowers. The skirt is of circular
cut in front that makes it ripple
and swing in an effective manner
with each step. This model orig
inally had self flowers, but in the
version above they are of golden
yellow with bronzed finish. The
| dress is coral.

vide enough money to clean up the

The bank has been in charge of the
