EARS PACKERS

TOD POWERFUL Victor Murdock Tells Committee That the Big Interests Always Think of Things Ahead. WASH INC;Tr)N, Feb. 1 .V Victor .Murdock, member of th federal trade commI-e!on, told the hou.'e interstate commerce committee today that he feared th Jive bitf packers had acquired so much power that even the United States government ini'ht not be strong enough to combat It. "I'ven Food Administrator Hoover." Mr. Murdock f-.iid. "could not nach mio Chicago and take the license of a Krc.it malefactor, although hcould rescind th IlceiK-e of one of the little fellows." This testimony of the tr?df eomi.iisiorier followed his statement that facts gathered during the comn.ission's investigation of the meat packing industry had been turned over to the department of justice and that he had no doubt that pneedinfes under the anti-trust law would result. Mr. Murdock expressed fear that The legislative branch of the government would deal weakly instead of vigorously with the packers. His statement that the packers wer well aware where there would be vaanwies on senat a.nd house committees which would consider their case and that they would try to see to it that "their friends' ut on these rominittees as vacancies occurred, brought sharp questioning from members of the committee. Mr. Murdock said he did not mean that any improper means would be used and that he did not in any way mean to infer that there had been "stuff? mt: or padding" of c ommittees in the bast. "Hut I do .say." the witness continued, "that even whil we here are flbeussinc: things that have happened Jn the past, the bit: interests of the country are thinking in terms of th future. They are always ahead f us. And you can depend upon it t Ii 1 1 they ore doinfT it now." 'ommissioner Murdock stroncly ursred enactment of legislation before the committee for government e.mfrol and the regulation of the tiM-at industry. Replying to questions of committee members he said it was entlrelj' possible that if every othr business mirrht be made suh.v c t to similar legislation. The corumitteo closed its hearing u ith the examination of Mr. Murdock. who devoted considerable time to discussion of the so-called interijtional meat pool, which w.i -it.irply criticised In the commission's report to the president last summer.

We have no factories, no banks, no shops, no transportation, no goods. Our schools have no furniture, no pencils, no pens. The bolsheviki have destroyed all. They have torn down. We need leather for boots, iron, machinery, scissors, ships, tea, everything we need from you. We cannot put back together an organization without your help."
