HOG EATS HOG IN
THE FOOD INDUSTRY
Packers Rushed to the Wall By
Chain Stores are Now Getting a
Taste of Their. Own Medicine.

Chicago - (FP)-Forty years
ago the big meat packers relent-
lessly crushed the little fellows.
The expansion of the meat trust
went on remorselessly, devouring
one after another of the smaller
houses. Even the farmer near Chi
cago who killed his own beef and
hogs and sold the meat to his
neighbors across the city limits
rs bounded by the packers until
he rad to quit. Those Were the
palmy days for Armour and Swift.
And lpday they are whining for
relief from the encroachment of the
huge food stores which are run
ming their own packing plants and
selling = me lnblic cheaper than
armour and S lift can work thru
the middlemen. Armour and Swift
want the COVE nment to step in.
They seek pro ectiOn just as the
little fellows in heir own line vain
ly begged for n 'rcy over a gener-
alton ago from he meat packing
interests.
The recent history of the packers
is no testimonial 30 American bust
ness conduct or shrewdneSS. Ar
mour got in a position where the
big Chicago banks, on one of which
he was a director, got him between
their jaws and crushed him. He
died bankrupt and his wife has had
70 sacrifice her assets to meet his
bills.
Morris sold out and left his old
employees in the lurch on an elab-
crate pension scheme on which
Morris failed to make good, leav-
ing them in large part unprOvided
for. They had politely abstained
from asking for higher wages in
expectation of the old age pension.
In the end they got neither.
Swift is the boy who used during
the world war meat cans stamped
1898 and sold them 30 the govern
ment for army use. The sample
cans fell into the hands of the army
food chemist in Georgia who ana
lived them and found the meat was
no good. He further expressed his
opinion that the contents were LEFT
overs from the Spanish-AmericaT
war days when the packers made
fortune out of army contracts anC
supplying poisonous canned meat
to the soldiers.
The Federated Press printed the
story of the 1898 beef several year:
ago, stating that the matter haC
been brought to the attention o.
the highest Swift officials withou
eliciting any denial. Swift did no
thing about it until an obscure Ne
braska weekly edited by a woman
published the FTP story, whereupol
the Swift publicity department
tried to scare the life out of her.
The FTP, on hearing of it from
her. deliberately republished TIT
original story, which dealt with tn,

ton of the woman editor, sent

pany to do something direct. Not
murmur was heard from the pack

childbirth. The baby was still
born.
The body of the unfortunate lady
and the baby were prepared for
burial by Undertaken Nelson, and
Thursday afternoon were sent to
international Falls, Mimi, for

tional Falls is the girlhood home
Of Mrs. Gray, where her relatives

II seems that about two weeks
before her death, Mrs. Gray had
experienced a serious accident,
falling down the cellar stairs in
their home in old Plentywood. This
resulted in complications and brot

which she was not able to sur

''Her Way of Love"
Russian Film Is
Praised By Press
By Harold z. Brown. Fed. Press

DIV ndTOtQ II. DIONNs Il Cu. ACcc
Against a background of fertile
Russian wheatfields, Praskova* OBJ
viously presented as an ideal type
of Soviet womanhood, masters her
unloved bully husband, Fedor.
Nonetheless, when the Cars army
swallows him up as cannon fodder
for the great war, she sheds a few
tears before she goes undisturbed
about her job of running the farm.
Those few tears do not prevent
resolute, self-contained Praskova
from appropriating Ian, a tail
young Austrian prisoner, sent to
the village by the authorities 10
earn his board at farm work. In
evitably they become lovers. A
child is born.
Praskova's Ian, a proletarian
youth, can see no sense IN capital
list wars. When revolution thunders
at Russia's gates, he joins the Red
Guard ''to end them" Praskova
learns for the first time how it
feels to have loved one 60 TO war.
Fedor reappears In a White
Guard unit which occupies the vii
lage and sees Praskova with the
child which cannot be his. But his
outraged property rights are no
match for her unflinching eyes; ne
does nothing. Praskova tips off the
the Reds to the Whites position.
Reds and Whites calsh.
Defeated and fleeing White Fe-
dor kills Red Ian, neither knowing
the other. Naked sabers in the
hands of Ian's pursuing comrades
take swift revenge. When both
men lie dead before her, the dark
ness that closes down on Prasko-
vas heart is all for Ian. Still reso-
lutte and self-contained, she should
ers a Red Army rifle, mounts a
Red Army horse and her boy beside
her, rides off with Ian's regiment
to finish Ian's job of making the
world safe for workers.
''Her Way of Love-" like many
Soviet films, is a simple moving
story Of working class life. Unlike
most Soviet films it has no tremen-
dous social propaganda signifi-
canoe to dwarf the individual fates
it pOrtrays. Perhaps for this reas-
on it has escaped cutting at the
hands of vigilant American censors
and is shown exactly as it was
screened.
Emma Zessarskaya, Sovkina act
TesS who plays the part of Pras-
kova, is as pretty as any Holly
wood star, and far more beautiful
and more intelligent than most.
Her acting is both convincing and
satisfying. Photography is as ex-
cellent as Sovkino's best. Director
Strizhak's and Author Poznanski's
technique is impressionistie. Few
subtle and laconic picture sequenc-
es flatteringly leave much to the
audiences intelligence. Less flat
tering, perhaps, is the title change
made for the American market: the
films Russian title is simply, "Hel
Way"
