INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE I WASHINGTON", July -19. Flat charges that the great packing interests of the country are conducting- a widespread propaganda against the. Kenyon bill, which would regulate their industry were made today by Senator Kenyon of

Iowa, who sponsors the measure Sena-

tor Kenyon today paid that an Investigation wlfl be made. Large packing Interests have sent every stockholder a letter instructing them to "get after your congressmen and senator," said Kenyon. "I intend to find out Just what amount of money is being spent in opposition to this bill. "The people of the country are paying for this propaganda with every lamb chop they buy." Not only are the stockholders being flooded with propaganda. Senator Kenyon asserted, but even the banking interests and industrels closely allied to the packers- are being enlisted to surrort the measure. The result has been that hundreds of letters and telegrams, many of them of a "set form" are pouring in on members of congress, according to Senator Kenyon. "I am certain that when the investigation is made a lobby will be revealed," said Kenyon. "It is even probable that an ex-member of congress will appear as working in the interests of the packers. "Congress will see the biggest fight on this measure since the days of the old tariff fights. And it won't be drawn on party lines."

CONVOY

BY-TRUCK

Emphasizes Worth of Motor Vehicle in its Newest Role of Long-Distance Halus. Emphasizing the worth and practibility of long distance freight hauls by motor truck is one of the primary purposes for which the government has sent the Motcr Transport Corps convoy of huge trucks, which is in this city today, on its coast-to-coast trip. In transportation circles the trip is held to be as significant and as historic an event in its way as was the first trans-Atlantic flight. They see it illustrating the ultimate possibility cf a revolutionizing step in the development of transportation. And they translate that ultimate possibility Into dollars saved for producer and consumer. They see the freight totals of the world increased, the world's markets grown fuller, and thereby greater comfort, greater happiness for the people. These transportation men argue that It has been clearly demonstrated for several years now that the railroads cannot completely meet the demands of traffic. They see no future hope of relief through the railroads themselves. It is physically impossible for railroad rolling stock and terminal facilities to meet the fiuctuatin requirements of demand arid supply. There comes the season for "moving the crops." That Job alone, which demands speed, would tax the capacity of the railroads for several months, practically to the exclusion of all other business. Then comes the season when coal must be moved in vast quantities and quickly. And thus It goes, transportation men point out. The railroads work most of the year on thousands of little Jobs under the handicap of big Jobs. They point out that trucks can move in largo and small fleets according to demand; that they are not restricted t central terminals for loading or unloading, but can overcome congestion by moving freely from one to another of the final destinations of their loads. There is also a certain class of freight that because it demands special speed in handling or special care can best be handled on long as well as short hauls by motor truck. Livestock is in this classification. Already some livestock raisers have realized the valuo of the motor truck in the handling of their shipments. Cincinnati, Indianapolis. Louisville and Kansas City markets are receiving and increasing proportion of their hogs by motor truck. During 1918. in eight months, 72,857 hogs were hauled at Kansas City, in increase of 21,505 over the same period in 1D17. At Denver the haulage of sheep increased more than 223 per cent, and approximately thirteen per cent In cattle and twelve per cent in hogs. In a single day at St. Joseph. Mo.. 190 trucks brought in 1,400 hogs, 200 cattle and a large number of sheep. Trailers practically double the value of the truck, with but slight increase in cost of operation. Recently one truck, running from Dallas to Farmersvlllo. Texas, hauled four trailers. It carried seventy head of sheep, seventeen head of steers net weight. 29,500 pounds a distance of ninety miles. Of this distance twenty-nine miles were over black soil roads. Even if the practicability of the commercial motor truck is still in the first stages of demonstration, its great valuo as a feeder of the railway systems and for bridging the gaps between farm and

nearby market has been clearly demonstrated, commercial men and farmers, who have tried it are proclaiming. There is a net-work of motor truck freight and express routes from practically all local markets throughout the United States today. New operators are coming into Ihe field daily as new possibilities unfold themselves. Vast quantities of cream, butter and eggs that would have wasted on the farm are being marketed by the trucks, which carry to the farmer his requirements in furniture, binder twin, groceries and a thousand and one of the everyday necessities of life on the farm. In this territory the Interests of truck

operators and shippers are watched over

by a branch of the nation-wide organization of the Firestone Ship-by-Truck bureau, with headquarters at Akron. Ohio.

The bureau acts as a clearing house of information, bringing operators and shippers together. V.'m. Fitzgerald, who directs the branch, has offices at 1920 Michigan ave.. Chicago, "At present we. are centering: our energies on the return load problem." said Mr. Fitzgerald yesterday. "We are determined to systemlze the motor truck
