GROCERS LEAD OFFENSIVE ON MEAT PACKERS Control of Refrigerator Cars Held Reason for Power Stock Raisers Head Defense (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. Oenuneiar tlon and defense of the "Big Fire" packers, their methods and alleged control of the preparation and supply of foodstuffs were mingled in approximately equal proportions before the Senate Agricultural committee Thursday, as "witnesses, discussed the Kenyon bill, which proposes to license the concerns and to deprive them of refrigerator car and stockyard facilities. Henry W. Lynce, representing stock raisers and their association In California, led the defense, while Louis H. Haney, of Jacksonville, Fla., appearing for the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association, made a direct and unqualified attack on the packers and their activities. Denies Efficiency. The packers' growth and strength, Mr. Haney asserted, was due not to their efficiency, but to their financial power and their control of the refrigerator car service, "which accords them the privileges of a common carrier, without a common carrier's responsibilities." They now have 25 per cent of the wholesale grocery business in the United States, he said, and were tending toward monopoly. The wholesalo grocers interst in the situation, he paralleled that of the public, because the temporary policy of the packers in underselling jobbers of food and commodities would be abandoned whenever they attained practical monopoly. Mr. Lynch said that "the packing Industry represents the selling end of the stock raisers' business. When you demoralize or hamper that as this bill does you hurt us.

What Mrs. Trout Said

"There are lots of jokers in laws, although they may have philanthropic titles." "Canute called to the waves to advance no farther, but he got wet. Nothing on earth can stop the advance of the women's suffrage movement." "In the beginning God created man In his own image, male arsd female, and gave them dominion over all the rfirth, and it is useless to go contrary to the divine law for we know that si'ine day men and women, though thf;' may not now, will, with equal privilege, and opportunities, march forward side by side." "Talk without ballots is like powr v ithcut bullets--it makes a noise but doesn't produce an effect."

"Certainly the women of this country need to post themselves on all the great questions." "The cause back of all suffering is sin, and with double moral standards for women and for men, no amount of medicine, science, philosophy, or legislation can help." "They say that men are intellectually stronger than women, but if it is true, it is not because the man is naturally stronger in his mind, but because of centuries of education; and they say that women are stronger in morals than men, but it is because of centuries during which it has been expected of her." "We talk of our democratic form of government, when half of our people, the women, are taxed without representation and without their consent."

Mrs. Trout Pleads For League of Nations in Evening Talk

Although Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout had not the slightest Idea of appearing on the Richmond Chautauqua again Thursday evening, and was instead sitting calmly with some friend when platform manager J. H. Bentley, came to her and asked her to help them out by substituting for Miss Penick , the reader, her audience thought that she was giving a carefully rehearsed and considered address which she was In the habit of giving In every town. "I am going to say something about the League of Nations, but remember it will not be from a partisan viewpoint; first because it seems outrageous to me that anything so unimportant as partisan opinions should be directed In a consideration of the league which is to bind all humanity in all the world, and second, because as a representative of over 200,000 women in the state of Illinois, I take no partisan stands in my work for the equality of woman, which Is not a partisan issue," said Mrs. Trout. U. 8. Will Be Safe. "I look upon a League of Nations as an enlarged Monroe Doctrine for the world Instead of for us. It is impossible for us to be longer an isolated nation," said she. "It is not true that we will not be safely represented in this league of nations, for it Is my understanding that nine countries are to be represented each with one vote and one for each possession. In other words, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Alaska, Cuba, Porta Rica, etc., each get one. Now, us I see it, the other powers are risking more than we are for if worst came to worst, the United States could claim 48 votes for 48 sovereign states. "After any great war there is plenty of criticism hurled at the political party in power, but I believe that the Republican party is too big and too great to make a campaign issue out of the League of Nations, the greatest of international interests, which must be decided and decided right. "When such great men are for the League of Nations as ex-President Taft, the late Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson, whom we may dislike, but who we must agree, is a great man in many ways and one of whom we should be proud of for the things he has done, I feel that we should not be too hasty in our decisions against this league. Tells of Suffrage Work In telling of the work of the Illinois women down at Springfield, during the legislation of the suffrage bill, Mrs.

Bostonia Clarinet Player Overhears Praise of Self

Trout explained that although they had many men who stoutly opposed suffrage in the first place their converts were many. "And Senator Penrose like Senator Lodge had had his mind made up against women's right for a good many years. You know Senator Lodge told me that he made up his mind forty years ago and hadn't changed it since. It seems possibly marvelous that a man could keep his mind hermetically sealed for forty years, doesn't it? "Another senator said that women should be placed upon a pedestlal that their fairness and beauty should not be trampled upon, you know, I have generally found that the man who puts his wife on a pedestlal, puts her on the shelf, too!"

"Yes, sir, that clarinet soloist is all right; he certainly can play," stoutly affirmed a man who stood at the Chautauqua lunch counter after the Bostonia Sextette Thursday afternoon. Directly beside of the speaker stood Mr. Staat himself, the subject of the conversation, but unnoticed by the loquacious one. As the musician moved off he chuckled.
