MEAT BARONS
BREAK THEIR
PLEDGED WORD

Washington, Nov. 29.--In 1920 the
''big five" meat packers signed All
agreement with. the department of
justice that they would withdraw
from. related food industries and con-
fine their activities to meat. This
agreement, known as the packers
consent Decree" was understood to
end all prosecutions under the anti
trust law.
Armour and Swift, leaders in the
agreement, now ask a District Of Co
lumbia court to decree that this
agreement, which they voluntarily
signed, is null and void.
Testifying before the house com
mittee on agriculture, April 2, 1920
Attorney General Palmer said: "The
first man who came to me represent
ing the interests was Mr.. Durham
one of the vice presidents of Armour
& Co."
The policy of the packers is indicat-
ed by this report of the federal trade
commission to President Wilson on the
meat packing industry:
THE commission through Mr..
Heney Gts counseD had to meet delib-
crate Justification of returns properly
required under legal authority; we
| had to meet schools for witnesses
where employees were coached in anti
cipation of their being called to testify
in an investigation ordered by you
and congress; we had to meet a situa-
ton created by the destruction of
letters and documents vital to this in
vestigation.'

Dear Sir:
You have extended me an invitation

! House in Chicago on Saturday, De
eember 6, 1924, at 1890 D. m, for
which | thank you, but which | re-
/ spectfully decline for the following
reasons:
am led to believe that this lunch

| Senate contrary to the Republican
State platform which pledged the
| Governor cooperation in his efforts
to give the people of the State OF

administration during the next four
years.
The people of the 25th Senatorial
District which | have the honor to
represent, Enthusiastically expressed
their approval of Governor SmalPs
policies and voted for him overwhelm-
ingly in the recent election.
The Good Roads Bond Issue, spon-
sored by Governor Small, received a
very large majority of the votes cast
in my district. This unprecedented
expression of confidence, not only in
Governor Small personally but in his
official integrity and constructive
program | consider mandatory upon

It. therefore, seems to me that it is
a sheer display of imnudence and
arrogance to attempt the organization
of a destructive force against the will
of the people so emphatically ex-
pressed at the polls.

kind with all the power | possess and
will help organize the State Senate
so that all the pledges made by Gov

HIGH WAGES TURN THE
WHEELS OF INDUSTRY

Cleveland Ohio Feb 16-In its business review for
January the Fourth Federal Reserve bank says one of the
decidedly important factors for widespread confidence
in the future is the legitimate demands of prosperous
and well-empoyed people,"
In its last annual report the Federal Reserve Board
expressed similar views: That increased earnings of fac
tory workers and larger incomes of farmers furnished
the buying power to absorb the years increased output of
goods"
These sentiments should be recalled by so-caled
moders of public opinion" who exult at the prospect of
every wage reduction.
They ignore the A. B. C's of sound economies That
tne power of people creates employment and
only Well-pald workers possess purchasing power
The distressing influence of wage cut is felt beyond
the boundaries of that especial community This country
consumes practically all of its products and vet there are
people to be fed clothed and housed Less than 10 per
cent OF the nations products exported
Every wage cut reduces the power to buv. This
creates deness and this in lowers the purchasing
power OF others and creates dleness 1t is like sew

INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT" is
DERAOcRAcY'S CEASLESS FOE

Oil deals involving public officials make the terms
invisible government" and "the money power grim
realities.
The term money power" is as old as the nation 1t
existed when the Revolutionary debt was refunded
by the federal government after insiders bought the
claims of various states at low figure 1t active in
the civil 1t responsible for "Back Friday" of
73 and it drove Liberty bonds to twothrds their value
Reaction would ridcule these terms, but this is no
answer to facts
The favorite defense of invisible government is to
scofing pose to eer at those who keep before
the public happenings that privilege would forget
confusers of the public mind who snar at the
proberS of Teapot Dome.
'nvsble government is as active today as it was in
other periods of our countrys history.
1t was at its height following the Civil war, when
Credit Mober and star route exposures land rings and
other thievery shook the nation
Then, now, the trail of corruption led to the presi
dents cabinet.
Invisible government is a menace to democracy
1t thrves just in proportion as citizens neglect their
duties
When the people sleep, they are robbed.
Physical things-natural resources-are taken from
them. But worse, they lose their ideals.
When man is given power, it is inherent that he
strives to increase that power.
1t makes difference whether it be Gary in indus
try royal autocrat Russian soviet the eternal law
prevails that men groups will extend their power if
checked
Trade unionists of this characteristic in
man, and their movement is shaped to protect itself
The union system NAL es autocracy impossible. The
unions encourage attendance at meetings. favor direct
legislation urge members to read their official journals
and the labor press and to acquire knowledge of trade
union philosophy and methods.
Trade unionsts would consider it an insult to their
intelligence if they asked to vote for in their
unions the ground that the hard-boed secret
agent of privilege appeals for popular suffrage.
If invisible government is to end the people must
make several changes in their national life.
They must be interested in government every day.
rather than few days. they must look upon politics
the science of they know the danger of
deegatng too much power to Others they must consider
criminal for anyone to suggest the disposal of
natural resources
The road democracy travels is rough. As years are
measured, this government system is yet in its infancy
Scandals will continue to disgrace and discourage be-
levers in democracy as long they vote for pressagent
ed Statesmen and permit private control of public credit
and private exploitation of natural resources.
