of the respective nationalities by
standing behind such a plan as will

The conference indeed has very

ducing the amount of friction which
inevitably would otherwise grow out
of accentuations. Jealousies or con-
cessions to the point of the power or

that some observers of long residence
here caution Americans against the
excessive exuberance of Anglo-American
cooperation lest it be misunder-

As a matter of fact tbe growth of
the English and American under-
standing Is one' of the great accom-
plishments of Mr. Wilson's visit to
Europe and while it is important to
emphasize it in order to down the vi-
cious propaganda in America hitherto
existing against England neverthe-
less so finely balanced are the sen-
sibilities of the statesmen that it is
necessary that Americans show that
their attitude Is one of common part-

all.
It will be noted that a recent an-

"THEY DOMINATE
MEAT INDUSTRY'
Senator Warns More Dras
tic Reforms Than Pro
posed M ay Come.
DENVER. Colo. Jan. 22. The five
big meat packing firms of the
United 'States were declared by sen
ator Kendrick of "Wyoming here to
day to have such a collar hold over
both the producing and the distribut-
ing markets that they have the power
"to commit all the abuses with which
they are charged and more" regard
less of whether they are In actual
combination.
Describes III BUI.
The senator addressing the Ameri
can National Uvestock association
convention described a bill which he
introduced to regulate the meat In-
dustry and said It ought to be pos
sible to bring about a free market!
that would make It possible for pro
ducer packer and consumer to work
profitably together. i
Mlt is periectiy obvious ae tola 1
the convention that the packers j
absolutely dominate the meat la-
duatry of the country.
-With all the interests involved andi
under the circumstances which sur-
round the business. It would be dif-
ficult for them to do otherwise than
work in unison and it Is scarcely
necessary it seems to me to attempt
to prove that the packers agents meet
daily or weekly or monthly to deter-
mine prices. It is only necessary to
point out that their common Interest
would naturally tend to make them
act In a common way.
Is Nation's Food Industry.
In no sense Is the demand for
legislation made In the sole Interest
of the producers. There Is no class of
the population that is not fully inter-
ested in proper governmental control
of the meat packing industry which
has grown to such proportions that it
nay now be termed tne nation s xooa
Industry. ' -
The bill. -which I have Intro- .
duced. Is Intended to secure gov-
ernment control with the least
possible disturbance to any rn-
terest "It alms merely to apply to this
Industry the principles which have
been applied to every other business
engaged In the interstate commerce.
We do not ask that the government
take over the packing houses nor
even that it should operate the stock
yards. We ask only that the packers
shall no longer be permitted to own
and control both the producing and
tbe distributing markets. To this end
my bill makes provision that will com-
pel the packers to dispose of their
ownership of the stock yards just as
a few years ago congress compelled
the railroads to surrender the owner-
ship of coal mines. It further pro-
vides that refrigerator cars shall be
subject to tbe interstate commerce
act. in the same manner that all other
cars and transportation facilities are
subject to it-
Plans Licensing System.
"Finally the bill provides for a li-
censing system for meat packers for
commission men and for stock yards
owners so that the government may
keep its fingers on the pulse of the!
Industry. .Without regard to who likes
it or who does not. this much I can
say that If legislation is not secured
new the effort to establish certainty
of competition in the markets of the
country will never cease until the
problem is properly solved and If the
moderate reforms now requested are
not granted drastic reforms will be
Imposed later.

Advocate Central Agency
Establishment of a central agency
to control shipments of meat animals
to market was advocated by Mr. Ar-

and preventing gluts In the market.
He said that supply was not the only l
factor In fixing the market price fortered had been accepted or whether
livestock which depended also on the i an entirely new nlan had been worked
fluctuating demand for meat.
Replying to representative Stephens
of Nebraska Mr. Armour said the con-
sumer could protect himself against
high prices by refraining from pur-
chasinr. but that the producer of live-
stock like the packer had to take
whatever the market was paying at
the time he sold.
"We are very much Interested in
maintaining a reasonable price much '
more so than In having a price so high '
as to discourage the eating of meat'
or too low to prevent the ratsinir of!
cattle" Mr. Armour said. '
MIf there was more liberal '
thought In the treatment of the
puckers. It would be 100 times bet-

have been afraid even to talk to

PARIS France. Jan. 22. With the
hope of formulating a definite
form of action on the Russian ques-

pointment of another delegate de-

consider it necessary to return to
Europe after the adjournment of the
American congress in March. There
is absolutely no question that be feels
he must return to America in time to
